DSTM Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) There is probably a simple solution to my problem,and hope you guys can help. I burn a Video,either CD or an ISO DVD on my PC, for my wife to watch on her Sony Playstation. Problem is they play well on my PC,but cant play them on her playstation. What do I need to do,so this is possible.? Has something got to be formatted or Finalized,or whatever? I have an old CD/DVD Player,and they wont work on that either.Thanks in advance.:) Edited October 4, 2008 by DSTM Confidence, is the feeling I get, moments before I stuff something up.
RandyL Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 I'm confused Doug. What's the file type of the video you're burning to CD? An ISO is an image file. It's not a file type or movie format. I know nothing of Playstations but what is your old CD/DVD player? Is this a player you hook up to your TV or is it in another computer? Yes normally a CD or DVD needs to be finalized to ensure playback on other devices but the also need to bube burned in a format that other devices recognize. We are all members helping other members.

DSTM Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) I downloaded 2 free Movies from the net. One was 700MB which I burnt to CD. The second one was 700+ MB which was too big for my CD's.700MB limit. With the second Movie I was told to download IMGBURN and make an ISO,which eventually I managed to do.Burnt both and they play well in my PC.No other device wants to recognize them. Audio CD's I burnt play excellent in the playstation. The old dvd player hooks up to the television. Your last Para,Randy seems to be my problem.No other device recognizes either the CD or DVD,and havent a clue,as all is new to me. I was told before I could copy the movie to DVD+R I would have to burn an ISO.Was it necessary to burn an ISO?:confused:As for finalizing or Formats I am lost,sorry. Any Videos we hire play well in either device,but not mine. Edited October 4, 2008 by DSTM Confidence, is the feeling I get, moments before I stuff something up.
Guest Wolfeymole Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 What was the format when downloading Dougie? Was it .AVI? I know exactly what's happened here but I want to know more.
DSTM Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 Both were .AVI'S,mate.Thanks.One was 699MB and the other 703MB. Confidence, is the feeling I get, moments before I stuff something up.
Guest Wolfeymole Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 As I thought. Now where did you download these "free" movies from Dougie?
DSTM Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 As I thought. Now where did you download these "free" movies from Dougie? That question is completely irrelevant,mate. I asked what format I would have to use so other devices recognize the Movie CD or DVD,and how do I and if I have to Finalize the Movie CD or DVD.:) Confidence, is the feeling I get, moments before I stuff something up.
Guest Wolfeymole Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Dougie It is my contention that you have downloaded a couple of movies via torrent software and are confused how to make these play in your DVD player or the Play Station. As you are well aware it is against forum policy to offer advice with regard to this activity. I know how this can be done but it would be against the rules to tell you how to. If you can prove to me that these downloads are perfectly legitimate then we can proceed.
DSTM Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 Innocent,till proven Guilty. Confidence, is the feeling I get, moments before I stuff something up.
RandyL Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Sorry but I think it's best to close this thread. We are all members helping other members.
