| Vista Home Premium x64 | Re: cant play dvd on stand alone player you would need to burn and finalise the DVD for playback on other devices, you will also find that you wont be able to play it on anybody elses vista machine as well. Try using a dvd burner for that, maybe roxio or nero. |

| VISTA HOME PREMIUM X64/ 7 x64 / 7x86 | Re: cant play dvd on stand alone player Hi brmilks, Video files can be in a number of different formats. Burning software has particular formats it supports. You need to have a burner that supports the format of the video files you have, or a converter to convert to a type of file your burner can use. You also need a burner that outputs in a format stand alone dvd players can play. Computers will play a larger variety of dvd's than stand alone players. Suggest you go to Control Panel>Folder options>View>untick Hide extensions for known file types>Apply>OK. You can then three letter extension for riletypes, e.g. .mov or .vob, stc - so you know what type of video files you have. Use a burner that can handle those and output for stand alone players, or use a converter. DVD Flick SUPER © .
