Movies burned onto DVD+R plays fine on my PC but not on Samsung DVD player?

Working as designed. Regular DVD players usually only deal with VOB files. Not AVI, MOV, MP4 or other computer-readable files.

If you need a regular DVD player to play the video, then the AVI file needs to be converted (transcoded) to the VOB file format. WinDVD, Nero and a bunch of others can do that.

New DVD players do play some computer files but a DVD movie disk and a DVD data disk carry very different files and folders. A movie DVD has a specific folder and file structure. You may be able to convert your videos to mp4 or mpg files that you player will support. Creating a DVD file system is done for you by many video software.

No player can play everything.

Check the owner's manual for a list of discs that can be played.

In some cases, even a disc of an acceptable type simply won't play.

There is nothing that can be done about this.

Also make sure that the disc was finalized.

Here i recommend you a professional and time-consuming converter software, called iCoolsoft dvd to mp4 converter. Also you can try iCoolsoft mp4 converter. Both software works well for ripping dvd to mp4.

Hi wild mick

time to accept in needs to be a different sort of writer with BLU ray capabilities. as well the density of the disk is the main issue along with different formats. the old days these recordable disks came in 8 different colours and each was completely different to each other and still today. we have this same problems. CDR-R CDR-RW CD-R and cd-w. along with DVD+R and DVD -R as we have DVD -WR and DVD +WR. a variety which may or mayn't play in the player you have so you might like to see you need more than one player as well. i would suggest you stop trying to pirate the films and just pay the going rate like the rest of Us.

AVI file type is designed for Windows computers, not movie players. movie players expect to see MPEG2 encoded video.
