just in case no one read my other post a little below this

okay I checked everything out and burned my cd correctly and when I try to play it in my dvd player it says "no disk". I know for a fact the my dvd player is capitiable.
If anyone wnats to know what I did:

I converted my .rm files in EO video, then I fixed them in TMPGEnc the way http://www.dvdrhelp.com/rmto3.htm said to. Then I burned in Nero the way http://www.dvdrhelp.com/nero.htm said to. I try to play in my dvd player and I get "no disk".

So what could be the problem?

The problem is with the dyes used in the manufacture of CD's.
Get your self a stack of CD/RW's and it will work. The colors are more compatible with the Blue laser used in DVD players/burners. (Cd's use a red laser.)

What sort of cd's did you use, i know some dvd players have trouble playing cd-rw's.
When you have the vcd you have made in your computer cd drive, what files does it contain?

are you sure your dvd player can even play vcd/svcd?

I helped someone awhile back & turned out he only had ps2, & they don't play anything burned unless you get a mod chip

they also tell you what they got to work with your dvd player, like media & stuff

I was burning onto a CD-R. I'm not sure what files it had, I can't find the cd I was using *sigh*.

Yes I am 100% sure. I have an Apex 1600. It says 100% of them are compatible.

have you tried playing it with another dvd or cd-rom?? some times if the dvd can't read the format of what you have burned it will say no cd or maybe there is something wrong with your dvd player,check to see if something else will play it, otherwise go with balamm, i used to get the same error with my dvd+r/rw at first it would say wrong format and then after that anything i put in there would say no disk no matter what it was i had to reboot for it to read again

I not using a dvd burner to burn, I'm using a regular cd burner with Sony cd-r's.

I just purchased the LG super multi DVD drive 4040B...sweet. But I do have a question to anyone who can answer. Why can I not take the DVD formated file made with all in wonder 9000 and simply put it on + or - DVD and play it on my apex 1500. Is the ati not truly set up for dvd authoring , because all vcd's and other applications on my 32 mb ddr all in wonder, and my 64 mb ddr all in wonder work fine. Does it just create the file and now it needs to be authorized by Neo (wich comes with the LG 4040B) or TMPGE or similiar program? And if so why do the vcd's I make come out fine without a middle process like Neo or TMPGE? Any comments on this or related matters like DVD+ or DVD- disks or even apex 1500 would be good...(-o-)...
