Burning DVD Problems?

Hi

I have tried three times to burn a DVD and every time it burns wonderfully and then i go to the dvd player, one a Symphonic the other my PS2 the first attempt i thought it was because i had it in PAL but then i changed it to NTSC and burned it again...still nothing..it said in the ps2 'tv doesn't match and in the regular dvd player it said 'playback not available'..tonight i tried again on a different burning program...it burned wonderfully and i went to go try it. the PS2 said "play halted due to malfunction" so i went and tried it in my other dvd player...it never said anything just never played...

HELP!!! I don't know what to do and I really need and want this dvd to work...

    DVD format is VOB, you have to convert your video to DVD compatible video at first, otherwise standard DVD player can not read and play it. If you don't know how to burn a playable DVD, I'd like to recommend this DVD creator to you. I always use it to convert and burn movie to DVD to play on my home TV, it's easy to use and works pretty well, if you are interested in it, here is a step by step guide about how to use it.

    What burning software are you using? Also, have you tried playing it on your PC?
