IIt will not play on my TV. The DVD player gives an error reading of "SeUP":oops:The DVD default Setup in AVS is:ImagePix 320/240Audiobit Rate 192 KBPS cHANNEL 2 (STEREO)Freg 44100hzAudio Format MPEG layer 3 CodecVideoBit Rate 779kbpsFrame Rate 30Aspec 4.3Video Compression DIVX 5.2.1. CodecI am very new at this and eventhough I have listed the setups above, understand very little of how they operate.:unsure::unsure::unsure:Any explainations or ideas to get this process working would be appreciated?

Hi deisfelder. I am assuming by the title that the DVDs you are making are home movies, correct?In any case, your problem seems like a software specific problem. I am not too familiar with this program nor with home videos. What I can suggest is to use another program. The one I recommend to my clients is called VSO Divx to DVD. It costs about $40 but it will convert any video (.avi, mpeg, etc.) file into a DVD file so that it can be played in any DVD player or ROM. It is a simple program to use and very easy to learn.I would avoid trying to change any of the chapter settings. I would like the program create the chapters. If you do decide to go with this software and if you do have questions, please feel free to ask.

Where do I get this program?Can I download a movie from the internet and then save it to DVD to play on my regular DVD player on TV?

Downloading movies is an illegal process that can not be discussed in this forum.

Try Axara YouTube tools! I'm sure, it will help. There are also some other very helpful programs, e.g. Axara Video Converter that can help with the first problem, I suppose. You may just download them first. Good luck!

The thing to be careful of when trying to play video DVDs recorded on a computer (even if you record it in the proper format for playback on a DVD player) is the type of DVD media (i.e. DVDR vs DVDR DL vs DVD-R) and your DVD player hooked to your TV that you want to play the DVD on. Not all DVD players are compatible with DVDs that are recorded on a computer. In general, if it is a fairly new DVD player, then it should be able to handle at least the DVD+R format is not also the DVD-R format. If it is a rather old DVD player, then it may not handle either format. If it is somewhere "in between" then it might only handle one format.To test the above, be sure to try the brunt DVDs on different DVD players. Preferrably one that is fairly new.The next issue is the proper format for your DVD player to play back the video that is encoded on the DVD. I don't believe that DIVX is a format that is by default able to playback on a DVD player...some might be able to do much like some DVD/CD players can play back MP3 files. I believe DVD platers need the DVD video files to be recorded in MPEG-2 format. Thus, you will need something that will convert your DIVX format into MPEG-2 format that a DVD player will understand. This is along the lines of what mphenterprises suggested. If you get that program and then make your DVDs and they still don't work, then it is likely the issue that I first described.
