I want my DVD to play on WMP, and VLC and my table top DVD player.
Isn't that mpeg2?

I was told to avoid ASF and WMV and WMA because they are designed for WMP only and not my table top DVD player.

I am trying to avoid a DVD that only plays on my computer. And I have to have an identical DVD just for my DVD player (TV).

This seems a slightly different question to what was asked!

DVD standard is MPEG2.

So encode in MPEG2 will play on everything.
