hi guys,
as title, can i watch *.wmv with dvd player? i just capture the video using camcoder, then can i just burn that file into cd and watch with dvd player ? i m not burning it in vcd or dvd format.

your dvd player must have mpeg woooo...

usually, the dvd player did not support wmv file...

Only certain players can support avi or wmv format, others you have to burn it into dvd/vcd format....

isnt the mpeg is the vcd format??

VCD is MPEG format

my dvd player is LG oh... so cannot straight play the file lo...but wehn i burn into vcd format, the video is not good already, teh sound lag behind the images...

so, what this post mean??
seen like it is a wrong info
you should said that "All dvd player can support mpeg"
juz accept it
since that vcd is not a good media

all dvd player support mpeg. mpeg1 for vcd n mped2 for dvd. but first dvd will read it header in the vcd/dvd b4 it play. so "normal" dvd player doesn't support *.mpg or *wmv if u not burn them in vcd/dvd format. think some dvd player support divx(*.avi). donno support wmv or not.

Sorry my mistake, VCD is mpeg format... edited my post....

vcd essentially is mpeg1 while dvd is mpeg2

That's why all dvd players are able to play vcd as well.

.wmv, .rmvb and others are all entirely different compression technologies.

nonetheless, because of growing interest in certain formats such as divx, some dvd player would include the codec to play the file.

As public demands grow, i would expect all players in the future be able to play most formats.

But of course as of now, HTPC would be the ultimate solution to all.
