dvd wont play on dvd player
Hi,
I have downloaded an article from the internet and stored it on a dvd.It plays fine on my laptop but when I put the disc in my dvd player all I get is the audio,no picture. Is there something I can do to enable me to watch it on my tv? Thanks |

What format is this download in. Even though it can be read by the PC that does not mean it can be read by a stand alone player. Most DVD players can only handle a small number of different video formats, certainly fewer than a PC can in many instances.
Just because it is on a DVD disk does not mean it can be played on any DVD player. |

Most DVD players will only play DVD Video which requires a specific file and folder structure. DVD is Digital Versatile Disc they can be used to store all sorts of data of which DVD Video is just one. Some will play back divx (mpeg4) video content, none will understand data files like text files etc.
