convert mp4 to playable dvd format

K

hey guys . . . I have a problem. . I have a video file in mp4 format . Now i want to convert it into a format that can run on a generic local dvd player. Please tell me codec in which i have to convert file or give software's name by which i can convert it. Please guys give feedback. Thanx in advance

You need some DVD Authoring software, like Nero Vision, to be playable on DVD Players.

Isn't it .DAT? Just make a "VIDEO" Cd.

No, he wants to play in DVD Player, .DAT is for Video CD, and for Video DVD it's .VOB, VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS

Well, even if your DVD player is local and generic.. if its not too old, it should support .avi ie. Divx etc. , try converting it DIVX, you can do it through "SUPER" which is frontend for windows for very capable linux mencoder.

as ricky said, most DVD players nowadays support divx and mpeg and can play them through a data disc. or you can use DVDstyler to create a video DVD to run on any DVD player

Use AVS video converter. Its interface is quite easy to use

Thread name changed !

@ OP - you want to make video DVD / CDs or those DVD players of your support Divx ??

BTW, try the free version of this ;-)

Sothink Movie DVD Maker: Free DVD Maker, Video to DVD Creator

^^Is it like Nero Vision?? If yes, thanks a lot, I was looking an alternative for that bloatware from many days

thanks topgear for changing title. .

i just want to convert a mp4 video and burn on dvd to play on dvd player. Btw that dvd player of mine is 3 year old.

Then probably it wont support MPEG, AVI, XVID, DIVX etc. Use what topgear said.

Just noticed that "Video Converter Pro" (Free) can convert video files into almost all of the formats even DivX/VOB.

@OP: Try the above software

I Don't think that will give a non-standalone support with the necessary files and VIDEO_TS folder !!

It Doesn't bother how old

Mine is 4.5 yrs old and supports DivX and i mean XviD
Check whether in your DVD player it has written 'DivX' :idea:

If it says so then there is a better chance for Quality !

If not

For best Compatibility use ConvertXtoDVD - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Downloads

(shareware)

or use an alternative !

It will work llike charm
I have mass experience in this field !

PM me for software details !

Man, I'm not good with these video converting encoding/decoding stuff. But, if the software can convert into that format, it probably shouldn't miss anything with support. I still say the OP should try it.

Since your is old and don't know what will play I suggest converting video into .avi with mpeg4 codec then write them on DVD as data files, A friend of mine had an old dvd player (4yrs) with similar problem and I did it for him which worked flawlessly. You can give it a try.
