Q: "Why my MP4 files on DVD disc can't play on DVD player?"
Well, there are so many reasons that your DVDs are not working on DVD player. You've burned the data to the disc and popped it into the DVD player only to see an error or find that nothing works, which is incredibly frustrating. This article is to show you how to make your MP4 play on DVD player.

Part 1: Why my MP4 files on DVD disc can't play on DVD player?

A large number of DVD players do not support reading video files from a DVD disc when it storages files like a flash drive or other storage device, instead, they require that the videos be burned to the DVD disc. There's a special process that must take place for the files to exist in a format readable to a DVD player. Which means that you cannot simply copy an MP4 file directly to the DVD disc, put it in the DVD player, and expect the video to play. Some TVs do support this type of playback through plugged in USB devices but not via DVDs.

So you want to make sure that you are actually "burning" the DVD. Or sometimes, you just get a bad result when you make a DVD due to the disc, your computer, a speck of dust, etc. In this case, try to re-burn the DVD on a completely new disc and put MP4 on DVD for your DVD player.
