|
|
I'm pretty bad with computers. I checked the windows specs for my DVD player on my computer. It says it is a:
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H12N
I believe it is LG.
My question is whether this can burn DVDs that can be played by a DVD player that is used for TVs.
And if so, how do I go about doing this? What format do DVD players recognize? |

I believe it should work, as long as you burn it in NTSC format you will be okay. |

Different DVD players accept different formats. Some players let you view JPEGS, Divx, SVCD, etc.
If you're trying to make a 'DVD' then it's easiest to choose your favorite burning program (Ahead Nero, Roxio EasyCD Creator, etc) and choose the option to create a DVD. The program will then transcode your .AVI, .MOV, etc to the proper format/folder structure for DVDs.
There are no "guaranteed" ways to make a DVD+/-R work in a player. Every player is finicky. But always verify and try to burn at a slower speed. It helps avoid making coasters.
And sites like CDFreaks have a ton of tutorials and tips. |

Download DVD Santa from a torrent site. It's a great program that's basically idiot proof! |

I use DVDSanta almost exclusively for DVD burning. Nero for CDs, and Alcohol for game cds/dvds. |

What is DVD Santa? I have been burning DVD's using NERO. They play on my computer, but will not play on a DVD player.
I have looked on the internet for DVD Santa, and I find Santa movies.
thanks. |
