jts111102 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I searched for quite awhile on the forums for an answer to this but the closest I could find was this thread - viewtopic.php?f=33&t=23133 - which for the most part went unanswered. My problem is I have several mp4 movie files that I want to burn to a DVD and play on my F900BT (2.0 FW). I have verified that the files will play on the unit, as I loaded a few of them on my 1GB thumb drive, and they play just fine on the F900BT, so the problem is not the files themselves. I'm using DVD+R discs and earlier was able to play some .avi files burned to a DVD+R but no audio would come through, however the fact that the video worked proves to me the DVD+R discs work in the unit. I have also tried burning the mp4 files both at the root of the DVD, as well as creating a folder at the root with the mp4's in the folder - but no matter how they're organized, every time I get a "NON-PLAYABLE DISC" error. SO, with the problem not being: 1.) the DVD's 2.) the movie files or 3.) the file layout on the DVD does anyone know how I can burn these files to a DVD? P.S. - I'm not interested in burning them in DVD format, as I have several small video files that I want to be able to put together on 1 DVD... also not interested in any other way to do this, just want to know how I can burn movie files to a DVD and watch them... =) ....?

Jeffs64 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Can you play them in a different dvd or MP4 player ? If not try useing NERO RECODE MP4 Format. If you don't have NERO can download a free 30 day verision from NERO. If they play then theirs something wrong with you F900BT. Mine plays MP4 DVD+Rs or Any DVD-R RWs. Pioneer Tect specs the unit only to plays DVD-Rs try one. Good Luck Jeff R. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jts111102 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Can you play them in a different dvd or MP4 player ? If not try useing NERO RECODE MP4 Format. I do have Nero, but no go on the Nero Recode. All the DVD's that haven't worked in the unit play just fine on my PC, but I don't have another mp4 player to test with. I've burned all of my DVD's with Nero, and like I mentioned before, I did get 1 of them to work the other day, it was just the audio that didn't work, but the video played fine, so I know the DVD+R's work. Might anyone know a way this can be done on a DVD? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddog hoek Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Try Handbrake 0.93. just take one file and convert it to multiple formats then burn them all to one DVD to see which one works. It has a bunch of presets also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
