I am starting to feel a little frustrated. I have downloaded every application possible I feel and things still aren't working after wasting 3 DVDs. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong???

I have a downloaded movie. I was told I need to use Toaster to burn this to a DVD. Here are my toaster steps:

I put the Blank DVD-RW 4.7 GB with 2hrs in and drag the downloaded movie to its destination. I don't have a menu and I do automatic play when inserted. Then I hit the big red record button. It took like 45 mins to download this process another 20 to finish it. I take it out and put it in my DVD player at home and it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? I have played burnt DVDs in this DVD player before.

Second problem:

I was trying to make a copy of a DVD. I was told I needed Handbrake for this. I have downloaded handbrake this still is working. Can someone please help me out??

Please if you're able give me step by step instructions on how to get this stuff working because I feel like I have tried everything and I don't want to keep wasting these DVDs.

Thanks in advance!

My parents are going to Italy for their anniversary in September and I want to surprise them by giving the hotel that they're staying at a DVD of their wedding for my parents to play in their room. I have the wedding video on VHS and I dubbed it to DVD using an LG DVD/VHS Recorder at home. As I live in the States, it will obviously be dubbed in region 1 code. However, if I want my rents to play the DVD when they get to the hotel, the DVD player will certainly be a region 2 player. What's my way around this?

i have tried software like fraps or planetgamecam, but these create to much lag on the game that i want to record footage off, planetside.

i heard its possible to use an S-video out socket on my graphics card to send my on-screen footage to a DVD player and record to that, and then use a dvd rip program to remove the footage. trouble is, firstly, my DVD players all have S-Video out sockets, not s-video in sockets. the s-video cable i have, on both ends only connects to s-video outs, and my gfx card only has an S-Video out. i was wondering if this made any difference, as the intructions i have is that my dvd player needs an S-video IN socket.

if this is an issue, is there an extension i can get to turn "s-video out" sockets into "s-video in" sockets.

secondly, is there any type of configuration or technical things i need to know? will i have to tell my computer somehow to send the on-screen footage to the DVD player?

thanks for the help ^

I'd also like to know how to copy a video onto DVD. I initially tried it by connecting my video machine and recordable dvd player together, all to no avail.

P.S. When I put a blank DVD-R disk into the DVD player it ejects it.

I am going to use a DVD player to record my PS3 gameplay and I realised that I don't have any blank DVD-R disks I can use, I was wondering if it is possible to record over an old movie DVD that I don't need. Just need to know if it's possible. Thanks in advance.

I'm going to use a DVD player to record my PS3 gameplay, and I know that a DVD player cannot read video off a CD-R, but if I put the CD-R onto my computer and formatted it to use as a storage device, and then put it into the DVD player to record onto, would that work? I know the DVD player wouldn't be able to play it but can I use it to record, and then edit/watch on my computer?

I hook the portable cassette player to the pc and recorded it to a audio editor that I have and played it back, the sound don't sound good like if listing to music on a portable player, I figure that hooking it through the dvd player, tv or a speaker system to make the sound better,
for example ( if you listing to music on a portable cassette or cd player, the sound sucks but playing it on a stereo it sound good<

I have a DVD-Recorder/VCR combo machine. When I record The disc will only play in the DVD/VCR machine that I used to record it. It won't play on any other DVD player, computer, etc.

Is it a copyright/copy protection issue?

i wanna put home videos on dvds through my computer or through my dvd player my dvd player doesn't record so what should i do?

I recorded VCR home movies onto a DVD via my recorder. I cannot get them to play in any other DVD player other than the one that I recorded them.

im trying to play a burned dvd. i changed the format from .avi, to .mp4 to .mpeg and then i found a dvd maker, and used that. it is now in .mpeg format. its on a dvd+rw disc, and it wont play on my dvd player, but plays fine on the PC. What to do?

I'm moving out of my parents' house for the first time in a few months, but I thought about a potential problem with roaches moving with me! I HATE bugs, and the whole point of moving is to get a fresh start. I'm a college student without a whole lot of money at my disposal (its a miracle even that I'm able to afford moving out!!!). I own an oldschool tv (as in NOT HD/LCD tv) w/ slits for ventilation in the back, a DVD player w/ ventilation on the bottom, a VCR with the front "Tape-cover" thing broken off, a vinyl record player/turntable, an el-cheapo Lexxon subwoofer-home theater system, a 4 channel mixer, and a portable Zoom digital recording studio. Oh yeah, and I just got a printer for my birthday...

What are some tricks or hints or pieces of advice that any of you may have when experiencing similar issues?

I have windows xp home edition and have windows media player 10 on the system. This is home recorded material of a piano performance on DVD -R recording. WMP keeps giving message that I need to install DVD decoder which is only available (per microsoft) thru vendors like Cyberlink/Sonic/InterVideo... etc. for 30 to 40 $, Is their a better way or different DVD player a person can download or a DVD decoder that is available as free download. Any suggestions or help is appreciated. I am using a desktop computer-Dell- Pentium 4 CPU 2.8 GHz with Windows XP Home Edition.Thanks- DKG

HEY "tk" I don't see how this is a stupid question, not nearly as much as you gave me a stupid answer because you can't spray "INSIDE OF" electronic devices where the roaches are attracted to the warmth and the equipment! Thank you for being insensitive!

I want a DVD Player that records a TV show on a disk. Similar to how a VCR used to do it. Can I get a good cheap one?

I'm trying to record television shows onto a DVD, but I'm not sure how. My TV is connected to a VCR, and I'm able to record onto blank VHS tapes, but I want the shows on DVD, not VHS. I have a DVD player connected to the TV also, but I'm not sure how to make it record the TV. When I try to record from the cable itself, the only option is to record using my VCR, not DVD player. I'm using Cox Cable without DVR by the way. What should I do?

OK, I have a nice tv with lots of hook ups...but already plugged in I have a home entertainment center dvd player/radio thing...I have a regular camcorder that used to be directly hooked up to my tv and record on my dvd recorder. But now with this new tv, i can't get my dvd-r hooked up to the tv. I can watch my videos but how do i get this all hooked up so it will all work???? Please help!!!

I have a project at school to do that requires me to edit an episode of a healthcare related show and follow a legal case through the entire episode without any commercials or other filler information from the episode. If I just record a show on television with my VCR I will have to take that tape somewhere to get it edited down to only what I need so I am curious to know if it is possible to play a movie on your dvd player and record it on your vhs, so that I could do my own editing of sorts. If someone can please tell me if this is possible and how to do it I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
