johnarcher Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 There's also a downloadable thing called DVDflick which I have used a few times with no problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penlan Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 OK - What format am I suppose to be changing to?It might sound a silly q. but I can't see what a bog standard DVD of a 'film' is formatted in.I'm getting to old for all this. I've tried a couple (Mpeg-2 etc.,) but they are not the right ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penlan Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 DVD Disk. What software are you using? I tried iskysoft, but evidently I'm selecting the wrong end file type - I had the impression MPeg-2 was the right one, but it's not working on my DVD player under the telly - to play on the DVD player under the television (both at home and elsewhere). The basic assumption to be made is I have no idea where I'm trying to go to, other than convert a couple of MP4 format films to something that will play on the DVD player under the telly. The irony is a friends son, said 'no problem putting the MP4 files (I had on a stick) into a suitable format ready for the DVD player under the telly'...

MikeTrice Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 OK so a very basic question. Does your DVD player accept DVD+R or DVD-R disks? Older units may not work with them. In the original link I gave you a few posts back it explains in very simple terms what you need to do in iskysoft: Install the software and launch Select Create a New Project Import the files you want to convert. Click the Burn Button and select DVD Disk as the format. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
