How do I get the video files from my Olympus digital camera to play on my tv's dvd player?
I am trying to convert the video files from my Olympus digiatal camera and copy to a dvd that will play on a home dvd player for my tv. They are in an.avi format. The description was something like action jpeg. I tried to burn them to a dvd but they would not play on my tv's dvd player. Please help.
Thanks in advance,
John

You have to make a DVD format disk to play a DVD on a conventional DVD player. You can use ROXIO 6 to make such a DVD out of an AVI file, and MPEG file, or whatever you have. The point is, the video file has to be converted to the DVD standard to get it to play on a conventional DVD player. In contrast, you can save an AVI file or MPEG file to a DVD disk as DATA, but you will only be able to play that AVI or MPEG data file on a computer, not a S-A DVD player. Suggest you use Roxio 6 for this, it burns DVD disks to correct standards just fine.
I'm not the world's biggest Nero fan, but Nero Vision Express will also author the AVI file for DVD burning.
