disc CD - r will not play using a DVD player

When I create a movie with movie maker cd - r disc will not play on a dvd player. It comes up with 'unknown disc '. Where I'm going wrong?

Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Unknown disk error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

It is always better if you include your question in the body of your message.

Unless you had a special software that would create a video CD (VCD) your
free-standing DVD player won't play (and even then... your DVD
Player must be compatible with VCD, and some are not)

Try to use a cache of DVD with Windows DVD Maker. The following links may

    If you want your CD with video to play on a free-standing DVD
    Player, you will need to create a VCD (Video CD)... This requires
    Special software. (and not all DVD players will recognize a VCD...)
    Check your manual DVD player for compatibility).

  • Burned DVD will not play on a DVD player

    I downloaded a 22 minute video I want to burn to a DVD in my DVD player.  I tried on the DVD-R and DVD + R.  They burn the disk but will not play on the DVD player.  The error message indicates that the reading is not available on this disc.  I used the windows search support to problem solve on my own, but have had no success.  I made sure that I am selecting the option of CD/DVD drive to use the ISO image format.  I entered my option and I have no filters.  I have the video on NTSC format since I'm Pennsylvania / U.S..  I have not tried burning on slow or average speed because it burns the DVD without problem it just will not playback on the DVD player.  What do you recommend as my next plan of action for troubleshooting.

    I guess that the video is not DVD compatible Mpeg2.  According to the DVD player, some will play other formats, too.  If there is no program for video on the computer, try Windows Movie Maker (free) to see if the video will too be converted to standard DVD Mpeg2.

  • My photos that I burned to a disc will not play on our DVD player.

    I downloaded my photos from my camera to my computer using Windows Photo Gallery.  I have used an 52X700MB Memorex CD - R drive and burned pictures of her.  The disc will work on my computer but when I put it in the DVD player attached to our TV to see the pictures, it gives me this message-cannot read this disk.  I made the disc in the neck that worked well, but lately, I'm not having any luck to work.  Can someone help me please?  Thank you, Sheryl

    I don't know what you were doing in the past who would work on the normal DVD player.

    I know, if you want to burn image files or videos from computer to dvd dics and be able to play in any regular DVD player, you will need to do this with Windows DVD Maker.

    Excerpt:
    Windows DVD Maker is an application included in premium editions (Home Premium and Ultimate Windows Vista, and Windows 7 Home Premium) and editions that is designed to allow the creation ofDVD movies that can be played usingDVD reading or on a stand-alone consumerDVD player software.

  • Try to burn images on a cd to make them playable on home dvd player. the computer will burn on the cd and the images will not play on a DVD player? any help would be great.

    Try to burn JPEGs on a cd in "master" mode to make them playable on standard dvd players. the computer will burn on the cd and the images can be viewed on another computer, but cannot be viewed on a DVD player? any help would be great.

    Hello Lackyboi,

    ·         How you try to burn the pictures on your CD?

    ·         What is the burning software CD that you use to burn the discs?

    I suggest you burn your photos using Windows Media Player.  You can read this article which will give you information on burning media with Media Player:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/burn-a-CD-or-DVD-in-Windows-Media-Player

    1. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

    2. in the Options dialog box, on the devices tab, click the name of the reader of CD - R or CD - RW you use and then click on the properties button.

    3. in the Properties dialog box, under the recording tab, select a slower write speed.

  • Windows Movie Maker DVD will not play in my DVD of Emerson drive

    Burned DVD won't play in my dvd player. I worked on it for three days. I burned a movie on a dvd + rw disc. The film will play on my computer but won't play in my dvd player. I get "Disk error" on the screen and the disc may not have playback function. What is the function of reading and how I can change my download? I lived all the concepts of self-help, but none of them fit to my problem. I have Windows Vista Premium and have tried using Windows DVD Maker. I called the manufacturer of my drive and they said I need to finalize the disc. How can I do to do this with Windows DVD MAKER?  I read articles about video editing, but when I went through the steps that I wasn't even offered the possibility to publish the video. My brother uses the same discs when burning movies and I have no problem playing his films. What I am doing wrong?

    Hi BrookeMcCulley,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    On some of the DVD player, you will not be able to play DVD + RW discs.  You will need to use DVD + r (read DVD) drive and check if it works.

    You can also try to use another brand of DVD disc and check.
