Hi,

I have a HP Pavilion DV6000 laptop and it has HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4084N drive. I tried burning some video files using DVD-R and DVD-RW discs using Nero express and Roxio software and could not do it as it said the media type is not compatible and then it asked me to convert it to .vob format. I did it accordingly and it showed success at the end of it. When I tried play the play the disc on my Sony DVD player, it would not play and it says there is no video and audio files in the disc.

My questions:

1. Am I burning the video files using the right type(s) of discs or should I use DVD-RAM type of discs?

2. If the answer to my first question is 'Yes', should I use some other DVD Player to play the dics -(DVD-RAM)?

3. If the answer is again 'Yes', what brand and model of DVD players should I use to play the video files?

4. Are there any specific DVD burners that I should use to burn the video files?

I would very much appreciate your answers to my questions.

Thanks and Regards,
Krishna

There could be several problems here. First of all your conversion process may not have produced dvd compliant files. Second, you may have used poor quality disks/and or burned them too fast. And your dvd player may be a particularly picky one about burned disks.

If you are starting with avi, mp4, wmv, or something similar, you should convert using one of the following programs: DVDFlick, AVStoDVD or FAVC. All are free to use, all will produce a finished dvd-video ready to burn to a disk. You can also set up each of these programs to burn automatically with an excellent free burning program called ImgBurn.

You don't need DVDRam for this project. Get good quality blank dvds, preferably Verbatim 16x or Taiyo Yuden 8x +R. I'm not sure where you are located, but TY is fairly easy to find in the US, at online sites like rima or supermediastore.

Burn the disks at less than the top speed of this burner. In ImgBurn, select 6x.

Edit: By the way, please don't post the same inquiry in more than one forum. It is confusing to those trying to help and is against forum rules. It is called crossposting.
