OK, I know it sounds off topic, but...
Last week, I finally succumbed to the constant spousal "encouragement" to convert our old home videos of the kids growing up to DVDs.
I bought a video adapter that saves the files as MP4. Like a dope, I assumed all of these DVDs would play OK so I did the entire pack of old VHS tapes. I then burned a total of 43 GBs in files to DVDs and they looked pretty good when I sampled them on the PC.
I gave them to the better-half and she popped the first one in the DVD player in the lounge and bingo - "no Play," comes up on the screen. What???? It seems my less than two-year old, Panasonic DVD player does not do MP4. {sigh}
Now I am looking for a new DVD player that will play MP4 or some free/cheap software convert them to something else and re-burn to a format the Panasonic will play.
Any suggestions to help me out of my dilemma, and no, divorce is not one of them.
