I would like to burn files (Win XP) of type .mov, .wmv, .mp4 and .mpg to DVD and then play them from a component DVD player, but can't find a component DVD Player advertised as supporting all these file types. Does anyone know of one? Thanks.

I have a Philips dvp-642 and it will play .mpg (as well as divx, .mp3 and some other types), but it will not play .mov, .wmv, or .mp4. I believe these types it won't play are recognized by QuickTime and Windows Media Player.

Buy a cheap, old XBOX on ebay, take 15-20 minutes to install XBMC on it and it will play about everything, mov, mp4, divx, rmvb....

to play wmv convert with program like ultra video joiner. is also good for videos that come out jerky or to scale up or down video quality. will convert mkv with mkv codec installed on computer. select 'all files'under 'supported formats'. it will not show mkv but will convert them if codec is installed.

You need software that converts those formats to the dvd format.
My stepfather had the same problem. He found software online that had a free trial period. He tried it, it worked, so he bought it. I don't know the name of it. These forums have a page of software to download and use/try. See if something is on their page.
Good luck!

Downloading and converting to DVD is a waste of time, IMO.
By the time you buy the discs, spend the time to convert, get a coaster here and there, and lose quality on top of it,you're better off buying a versatile media player:

That and a little USB stick is all you need.

to play most internet formats i have found the newest model of the phillips players to be the best and can be updated by way of the phillips support site. we have a dvp3982, actually a few. the new samsung will play avi but is terrible on subtitles. the cheap toshiba doesn't have a long life and the more expensive toshiba(some) don't always recognize different types of dvds.(+-). maybe this helped
