Hey, first post here!

I ran a search but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for (sorry if this is a repeat, please post existing thread if there is one).

Here is my problem:
I have a bunch of video clips/movies on my computer that are in the "windows media player" format. I used "Easy CD Creator" to just drag and drop them into a "new data DVD." I just want to be able to watch these DVDs on my computer for the moment... but they take up too much space so I tried to fit them on a DVD. Well I did the drag and drop and made the dvd but when I click the videos to play from the DVD they don't show.

i get errors like this: Windows Media Player encountered an unknown error. This can occur when another program or operating system component encounters a problem but does not communicate the nature of the problem to the Player.

and

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.

Well I can watch them just fine if those exact files are on my computer but when I put them on DVD it doesn't work.

What is wrong and how do I fix it? (I have dvd shrink, dvd decryptor, easy cd creator)

Also, what would I do if I wanted to play these files on a DVD?

THANK YOU!!!

Hi whitehype and welcome to AD. I read you had turned them into a DATA DVD...This is possibly where you have gone wrong, you should be using DVD Video.
