==========================================
Some free standing DVD Players will not play a home made DVD...
but maybe you burned a Data DVD instead of a Video DVD.

Maybe the following articles will help...

OK, thanks for the reply!   I did find an open source program that has worked for a couple of my productions made by Movie maker    http://www.dvdflick.net/    It takes about an hour to convert and burn a 30 minute movie to a dvd-r disc, but at least it plays on my player.  I will read those links you kindly provided.  I am always open to any and all help when it comes to Windoz!

Thanks again.

Aloha!
