dvds burned with vista basic won't play in dvd players?

is this true - that if you have vista home basic, any dvds you burn will only
play on computers not on dvd players? I am having this problem (and my dvd
player will play all types dvds, so it's not the player). is there any way
around this? (if i use mediaplayer or roxio)?

Windows Vista Home Basic does not include Windows DVD Maker, but third party
DVD burning solutions will work just fine, Roxio, NERO and many others.

Re: dvds burned with vista basic won't play in dvd players?

sorry for andres generic answer.

Are you using Roxio to create your dvd's ?

How are you creating them copying the files directly to disk or converting
them first ?

Please note that Media Player in Vista Home Basic does not support DVD play
back, you will need to have supported codec or use a third party DVD player.

Computers include DVD Players too, he didn't inform us if it was one in his
PC or one attached to a TV. Stop being so condescending, negative and having
an attitude, please.

sorry andre,


re-read the question properly and it will "CLEARLY" state a player not a
computer.
