What dvd player will play mp4 files?

i found that changing the name of the .mp4 to .avi works fine. i have encountered no problems yet.

As the most widely used video format, MP4 format is compatible with a great variety of digital players. The reason why MP4/MPEG-4/H.264 MP4 cannot be played is because they are not coded in many DVD players and some of its successors like HD DVD players, Blu-ray disc players and 3D DVD players hence it cannot be played on many DVD players.

Please try this detailed guide on how to convert MP4 to DivX. With this guide, all do the MP4 files can be played on DVD Players.

Good luck.

I would say the best way is to do the format conversion job, it could not only solve your current problem and would help you in the future. Here is video introduction for the video converter which i used mostly. And there is trial version available from the official site.

Most DVDs have to use MPEG-2 or DivX, if you try to directly burn MP4 to DVD or your DVD burner app has no function of converting MP4 to MPEG-2, DivX, you will fail to burn MP4 to DVD disc.

Even if you have successfully burn MP4 to DVD without converting, you will still encounter issues in playing MP4 on DVD player: Regular standalone DVD players can only read movie DVD's (those are in MPEG-2, and if you view them in Windows Explorer, you see a folder structure with VIDEO_TS, and files like .VOB .IFO and .BUP). Newer DVD players that are DivX-certified can (in addition to the above) read data DVD’s with an AVI file encoded in the DivX codec. Most of the time, you will fail to play MP4 on DVD player unless the DVD players have the "Nero Digital" label on them.

In order to burn MP4 to DVD for successfully playing on various DVD players, we had better find a powerful MP4 to DVD Video Converter which will automatically convert MP4 to DVD disc or DVD player compatible format.
