My movie won’t play on my DVD player

Your DVD movie may be in a file format that your DVD player can’t read. If you recorded your video files as data, they will not have the proper format to be played on your DVD player. Files must be encoded in the proper DVD video format by using a recording program such as Sonic MyDVD to play in your DVD player.
