I have no problem burning a DVD that will work on computers, but they do not seem to work in the DVD players on my TV sets. I am good at computers, but in no way a pro. Can someone explain to me how to do this in a way I can understand? I am using Windows 7 on a brand new Dell computer.

Answer
Because most normal DVD player only recognize the standard video DVD, don't recognize the data DVD(directly burn video files on disc), so you have to convert and burn your videos to standard video DVD, i am using rz dvd creator to do this well, it can create/burn standard video DVD from any videos, easy to use, you may have a try, hope it can help you.

What is the best way to run cd/dvd programs off of hard drive?

John

I have a new Windows 7 Ultrabook (no dvd drive) laptop. Just wondering how best to run old programs/games off of the hard drive? I have a external dvd player to transfer the files. Thanks.
Some games (like Madden/Civilization) require you to leave the CD/DVD in the Drive and not run it completely off the CD/DVD Drive.
I mean run it completely off the hard drive.

Answer
It's best to reinstall any applications or games on the new computer instead of copy and pasting the files over. Sometimes that will work but a lot of the time the programs have dependencies installed in other places (such as the registry or a folder with saved data).

To transfer you will need to hook up your old hard drive to a PC and burn the files to a cd or flash drive.

What types of files will a DVD player recognize?

best dvd format for dvd players image

Will a DVD player be able to support files like avi, MP4, and VLC on a DVD?

Also, if I put more than one movie onto the DVD, how will I choose what movie to watch when I put it into my DVD player? Do I keep pressing "next scene" until the next movie is shown or is there some kind of DVD menu?

Answer
avi, mp4 and vlc, all are media container format which can be encoded with many different codecs, such as divx, xvid, mpeg4, mjpeg, etc, so no dvd player can play all avi, mp4 or vlc video files, as I know, if your want to burn a movie onto a dvd, so that can be played well on dvd players, you'd better use a right software to convert your movie to video dvd format, because most dvd players only recognize video dvd format well, and you can add a dvd menu to directly choose what movie to watch when burn more than one movie onto a video dvd, like the video dvd bought from store. To do that, so easy, you can follow me to use RZ DVD Creator, it can fit your requirements, it can convert any format movie files to video dvd format, it can put multiple movie files onto a video dvd, and it can add dvd menu to the created video dvd, it can customize the "Play All", "titles/movie selection", "chapters/scenes selection" screens and buttons on dvd menu, can customize dvd menu background video, picture, music, text, etc, easy to use, insert a dvd disc into your computer dvd burner drive, run RZ DVD Creator, select the dvd burner drive as the target folder, drag and drop your avi, mp4 or vlc movie files into the software, then press MENU button to customize the dvd menu and enable the dvd menu, then press the START button, you will get a video dvd with a nice dvd menu, and you can play the burned video dvd well on dvd players, and can directly choose what movie to watch through the dvd menu, you can yahoo or google search and download RZ DVD Creator, hope it could help you.

What is the difference between a dvd player and a blu-ray dvd player?

Sol

I always used a DVD player to watch movies.

I have to buy a new DVD Player because my old one broke. Why should I want to buy a Blu-ray dvd player instead of a regular dvd player.

Answer
For one thing any disc you buy in the future will be a blu-ray disc and will not work in a regular dvd player. What you should buy is a player that states on the box that it will work with all existing disc formats. They will come out with something else that makes all that garbage in a couple of years anyway.
