avi, and no.

I just open nero express, click on data disc, drag the file into the white space and burn

I dunno allot about DVD players and the support of divx/xvid...

maybe the file you burned has a newer codec version then installed on his DVD player :unsure:

For my dvd players, you can't burn them as data disks. Use the 1 step KVCD tutorial in the tutorials board for a method that only takes like 2 hours, you don't have to be at the computer, and should work very well.

Good luck!

Sounds like your DVD player supports .avi (Divx/Xvid) files, but your friends DVD doesn't. Because if your burning it as data, then its just that, an .avi file on a CD. Its not really a DVD, but your DVD player can play them, while most can't.

What DVD player do you have?

[darkmatter]

SD-240

but I'v given him other movies but they seem to work fine. maybe its the CD's since the other movies were on Verbatim CDR and now I use Philips.
