Copied DVD's freeze up on playback

[cmoazz]

Awww crap, ok. Gotta wait til I get another DVD then...

I couldn't find a "Check for updates" or anything on the DVDFab program, I guess you just download from site and installer over previous version?

[Racem22]

Yup sure do. That way all your registration info gets carried over to the new release.

Some players will play what they call DivX.

If this is the case, you can just convert them using File to Mobile using the generic.avi.xvid.mp3 profile.

If your player does not support playing of DivX files, you will have to use a DVD authoring package (I use Corel (ULead) Video Studio) to produce a DVD compliant structure.

You lost me, do most DVD players even accept .m4v or .mp4, do I even have to convert it?

[AGJ]

no DVD Players only play DVD compliant DVDs unless it says on the DVD player manual that it will play Divx, mp4 or such

[cmoazz]

The absolute standard is Divx though? Is it common with todays technology that they play the mp4 and m4v out of the box?

[AGJ]

only if it supports that. You can try and burn it to a cd and play in DVD player to find out. all my DVD players support Divx, mp4, mp3 and jpeg

Mostly DivX....But the best way is RTFM....

Aah ok I see it now, this doesn't make the quality smaller for it being File to "Mobile" does it?

Sigh... what's that, and how do I do it?

[cmoazz]

Under edit the max it shows is 400 x 450, that's small... it's gonna look terrible on TV ain't it?

[GregiBoy]

RTFM = "Read The F@$^*@g Manual"

Well, the 400 x 450 is most probably the size that it was composed at. You do not want to expand it any more as you will just add further crap.
