i have a mpeg video file and i burn it on to a dvd but it doesn't play on most dvds, is it a region problem? How do i fix it? and which program should i use, my nero can't read the file? sony dru-510a, dvd decrypeter? thanks.
If you just burnt the MPEG file to the disc, it's definitely normal that the disc does not play on most players. You need a DVD Authoring tool to create a DVD-Compliant disc. Such a tool will turn your MPEG file into a VOB file, will split it and will create the corresponding IFO and BUP files.
If you did use such a tool and you cannot play the movie, it's not a region problem, unless you set a specific region while authoring the disc. It might be a disc quality issue (most players require good discs) or a compliance issue (some burning tools don't create DVD-Compliant discs, including old versions of Nero).
Whoa there !!! MPEG1 or MPEG2 , and if MPEG2 was it DVD compliant (correct resolution + 48000hz) ??
You'll need to encode most Mpeg files , with software like TMPGEnc Plus / MainConcept MPEG Encoder etc (there's loads of encoders).
Have a read up on this matter as you have yet to learn the fundamentals of getting video files to mpeg2 dvd complaint file ;-)
