OK, all:

I have a copy of Pinnacle Studio 8 (2 versions old), and after editing down the video I used the "make a disk" option. It happily burned the DVD-R but of the three DVD players in the house none will play it. They all "try" to load/read the disk, but none are successful -they just sit there, 'loading...'

From the experts out there: What kind of file is a regular ordinary DVD supposed to be? I saw .AVI mentioned.

BTW, the disk created plays just fine in a computer, but using Windoze media player...

(and for some reason my DVD+/-RW drive won't recognize the HP CD-R media I have as blank, so i can't make a VCD...)
