Copied familiy movies to DVD and they won't play on TV.....HELP!!!  |
|
 If I buy a DVD Recorder to copy home movies from VHS tapes taken on my camcorder, will they be playable on ANY TV? I have digital camera that has 15 second setting for a movie. I copied them from the camera to my PC and from there, copied the movie clips to a DVD. I played this DVD on my PC nad it was fine. I played it on my living room DVD player/TV and it didn't play. I played it on my upstairs DVD player and TV and it played. I gave it to my daughter, and it didn't play on hers. So... question... why not? Why didn't it play on all TV's? DVD players were relatively new.
So.. if I buy a DVD Recorded to copy my family movies from VHS, will they or won't they play on any TV? ANd if not, how can I get them to?

 coffeebreak (4850) | 2 years ago | Thanks I'll look into it. I don't know much about the MPG and all that, just copied as it said "copy". And it worked on one tv but not others. That was the weird part. Why one tv and not others? I didn't know about those DVD's you mention either. Need more reserach before I buy! Thanks! | |

| coffeebreak (4850) | 2 years ago | Okay, didn't get a single thing out of that - all over my head!!! Good grief, so much I don't know! But it did show me one thing... I have asked the wrong questioN! What I meant to ask was if I buy a DVD recorder, i assume it wll copy from wherever to the DVD. So my Camcorder is VHS, Now, I hook my camcorder to the VHS recorder/player and copy the short camcorder vhs tapes to a regular vhs tape.
What I want to do is skip the PC - can I get a DVD recorder, plug my vhs camcorder into the dvd recorder and copy the vhs tape onto a DVD disk? And then.. would that disk play on any dvd player? Skip the PC all together. | |

| 2. lilybug (15352) | 2 years ago |  I do not have a clue as to why it does not work. I know that my grandpa had a similar problem with some old home movies that my uncle copied to DVD for him last year. He could not get them to play on his DVD player, but they worked just fine on my DVD player. These movies were originally on a real though. Not sure if it would be similar in reason or not.

| 4. arkaf61 (5728) | 2 years ago |  From what I understand there are some that play in some DVDs and some that don't. Also the kind of DVD also appears to have something to do with I guess some are DVD+ some are DVD- and that seems to affect what kind of DVD players can play them or not.
Also how old or new the DVD is also seems to have something to do with it - I have some that play only on the old DVD, some that play on both and some that play only on the new one.

| coffeebreak (4850) | 2 years ago | I have a feeling that is what I am up against. Why so complicated!!!! By the time I figure it out, DVD's will be outdated and won't play anyway! | |
