TV will not play DVD

[PeterOz]

I might have a dvd player that works
I will have a play

Just some out of the box thinking here…

Have you tried right clicking the stuff you want to burn, and select Send To… and select your DVD-RW unit.
It’s been a while, but from memory, Windows (since Win7 I think) can burn CDs/DVDs natively.

Do you simply want to burn your files to a DVD and play them on the TV, and does the TV only play DVD’s that are in the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS format?

Hi Bruce, I thought of that last evening. I burned the original MP4 files to a disc using the Windows 11 feature as you mentioned, and I also burned that AVI file I converted, to another DVD using the Windows feature. This morning I tried each of the DVD’s in the JVC player. No difference. I still get that message UNKNOWN DISC, PLEASE CHECK DISC AGAIN. I have done this hundreds of times before. I would take videos when we were on vacation using my old CAMCORDER. I would come home, copy the videos to my computer, and then burn them to a DVD so I could watch them whenever I wanted on TV. The only thing different this time is I started with a video I had taken on my cell phone, that went to the ICLOUD. Well at least I have the video on a USB jump drive that I can watch on the TV. Maybe if I get ambitious some time, I will dig out the old CAMCORDER, and make another video. Then see if I can copy it to my computer, burn it to a DVD and then play it on the TV, as I had done in the past. I thought the issue was with the NERO software, but I removed it and reinstalled it. But it still does not look the same as before. Maybe its me. And since I burned the files to a DVD using Windows, that eliminates the Nero software. Your question about the TV and Audio_TS Video_ts,------I have no idea. Thanks to you and PeterOz for your help. Much appreciated. I will post back when I get the old Camcorder out and try again like I used to . Mike

Get a DVD that you have made and put it in the computer
Open the dvd with explorer and see what the file format is.

Can you afford to burn 1 more disc?
Use VLC player and convert to MPEG-2 +MPGA(TS)
From what I can see Nero burns MPEG2
and I found this on your dvd player. It has MPEG2

I cannot test this. I tried and have found out that my DVD player no longer works

I don’t intentionally mean to bring up the whole “Welcome to the 21st centaury” thing again, but…

This is more of a looking forward and eliminating the current hurdle - is it a smart TV, that is. web connected?
I went back through the posts, using ‘boy look’ mode, and couldn’t find if you had given us the make/model of the TV.

If it is smart, wouldn’t it be nice to store your digital media in the cloud (yes yes I know) and have the TV access it that way.
And the cloud doesn’t have to be Dropbox, OneDrive or similar, it could be as in my case, my Network Attached Storage box which my TV can access.
Even my TP-Link Archer modem/router has a built-in media library, shared network feature.
Just saying… offering alternatives - don’t shoot the messenger!

Just checking we are using the same terminology, people throw around names and sometimes use the wrong ones.

When use say ICLOUD are you referring to your cloud storage space using your Apple account?
