Does a movie file have to be a specific file type in order to be burned on a blank DVD?

Yes and no. If you are writing it as data you can use any format you'd like. I suspect that you would like your disk to play in a DVD player, however, so this is not the case.

How can you download movies from your Kensington memory stick to a DVD?

if the movies are in a format to play on the unit you wish to play them on then its simply a matter of burning a DVD with the files on it. For example, if the file is divx and you wish to play it on a stand alone DVD player the player must be divx compliant. To burn it onto the DVD, use the software that came with your DVD player (Nero probably one of the more common applications supplied). If you don't have burning software, you could use a free application like http://cdburnerxp.se/ If you need to convert the file to a format that will play on any stand-alone DVD player, you will need to use an application like http://www.dvdflick.net/ with http://www.imgburn.com/ .. to do this, install both applications, start dvdflick, direct it to the file on your usb stick, and it will convert it to DVD-compliant format then burn to a blank DVD.

Can a DVD bought in the USA be seen in France on a French DVD player?

In short no. France and much of Europe use a different system for their TV's. the US use NTSC and Europe uses PAL. They are not compatible. The only way to get around it is to either copy the DVD to your computer and re-burn it in PAL format; or make sure that the person you are sending the DVD to has a multi-region DVD player.


How do you play burned DVDs on a DVD player?

AnswerYou have to check the specifications of the DVD player when shopping for one. The specifications or feature description of DVD player will tell if it is compatible with DVD, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW. The last 4 are different types of common burned DVDs. If these are listed in specifications or box or the product, the DVD player should play these DVDs. Other point to note is the format in which data or movies are stored on the burned DVD. DVD players may be region specific and e.g. may only be able to play NTSC Region 1 type discs. Some players can play both NTSC, PAL and are available (or can be made region free). If you have stored movies in AVI or DIVX format, please also check if the DVD player can play DIVX.

Why will DVD-r not play back?

When most people talk about a DVD disc, they are talking about the sort of disc we would use in our DVD players to watch a movie on the television. A DVD-R is a recordable disc, generally with a capacity of about 4.7GB. With the correct software and a compatible drive you can store anything on a DVD-R. The most important question is the format that has been used to store the information on the disc. If you are trying unsuccessfully to play a disc on your computer that will play normally in a domestic DVD player, it is likely that you need to install some software that will allow your computer to interpret that sort of information. If your disc is not one that will play in a DVD player, then the information is in a different format. Try browsing the disc in Windows Explorer to see what information is store on it and in what format, then search the internet to find a suitable application to use with that type of file. Of course, from your question it is impossible to see for sure how you are trying to play back the DVD-R. If you have made the disc on your computer and are now trying to play it in a DVD player, it is likely that you have not put the information onto the disc in a format the DVD player can understand. Again you will have to find a suitable application that will allow you to create a disc that will do the job you are trying to do.


What programs do you need to burn DVD movies?

Note: the format of your movie is crucial, because some DVD burners don't support some format. The DVD burner i use to burn DVD supports AVI, MPG, MPEG, WMV, MOV and so on.


What format do you need to use for DVD so it can be used in a standard DVD player?

You need a DVD transcoder like handbrake or toast which will create .avi files to burn into a DVD. Once you get one of those DVD 'burners', add the video files you want on the DVD and it will convert the files into a disc you can play on DVD players.
