Hello,
I have copied some old videos to Dvd attaching a video player to a Dvd
player. The discs play through the dvd player on the Tv, but they will not
play on my computer, is it a different format and if so can I get software
to overcome this. Thank you.

Maybe you used DVD-R when your PC likes DVD+R. Do you have DVD decoding
software on your PC?

Hi Cari,
Thank you for your reply.
I am not computer literate, I have used DVD+RW via Norton Ghost 9 to back up
my system and the discs I used to copy the videos was DVD+R. I am afraid I
do not know what DVD decoding software is, or whether I have it or not.

DVD decoding software is needed to play a video DVD (for want of a better
phrase, as opposed to a data DVD which just contains regular PC files and
folders).....

WinDVD (www.intervideo.com) and PowerDVD (www.gocyberlink.com) are the two
most common applications.

Do you have either on your PC?

My problem is opposite to Peter's.

I am using Movie Maker to capture DV to AVI file and then DVDSanta to
prepare VIDEO and AUDIO folders for making DVD. DVD-R i used to burn the
home video, it plays fine on computer via Power DVD or Media Player. While
playing at home DVD player, no audio heard all the way through the DVD.

What is causing this problem? With only a few AVI files, HD is filled up
totally, DV tape piled up quickly. Need a solution quick!

Thanks for any input.
