231551 2004-04-23 09:46:00 If I record and save a MOV file, transfer it to a DVD player, will it play OK on a TV?

Comments or experience please.

Thanks. John in Mosgiel.

231552 2004-04-23 09:52:00 no. it will need to be converted to a format the dvd player can read eg vcd or mpeg2 (dvd) then burnt to disk (check your dvd burner may be able to convert it) tweak'e (174)
231553 2004-04-23 10:05:00 Thanks, what are the results like. The MOV played quite well through a LCD Projector onto a screen, will i get the same clear image when its saved as a MPEG, recorded onto a DVD then played on a TV? John W (523)
231554 2004-04-23 10:17:00 Tweak'e, Have any of the recent PC Worlds CDs come out with programs that convert MOV to MPEGs. Ive Nero but not Nreo Image mixer.

231556 2004-04-23 12:33:00 results depend a bit on how its done but provided the orginal was good qaulity then there shouldn't be to much of a drop in quality.

sorry i have no idea if any software came out on pcworld disks. check the 2nd thread on the main forum page.

231557 2004-04-24 13:12:00 Try the video editing software which came with your burner!?
e.g. Ulead Video Studio or Sonic MyDVD.
Try opening a DVD or VCD project and opening/importing the .mov files.
If successful it will still have to grind away for a while to do the conversion prior to burning.
Good luck.

231558 2004-04-24 16:46:00 Hi a 2 step process I believe. You first need to convert the MOV to AVI, DivX or XviD before you can convert to DVD MPEG. You can get all the tools you need from www.dvdrhelp.com with specific tutorials http: and www.riverpast.com

You could also burn to a CDR in SVCD or VCD format if your DVD player supports these formats.
