Possible solution
If you are on a network, copy the files from a network drive to
your hard disk drive first, and then record them to disc.
Close all programs and windows, and then restart your
computer.
Your DVD player cannot play video files that were recorded
onto the DVD as data files. To play a movie properly, use a
video recording program. Some video files may be viewed on
a computer, but not on a home DVD video player.
Possible solution
Your file may be corrupt or in an unsupported format. Open the
video file in a video editor, and then resave the file in a
supported format.
Open the file in Windows Media Player. Ensure Windows
Media Player is configured to automatically download codecs.
If the correct codec is available, the file will play. Note
that you must be connected to the Internet to download the
codec file.
If the correct codec is not available, check to see whether
there is an update available for Windows Media Player.
For more information, open Windows Media Player Help and
search for codec.
