Burning Movie Clips onto CD-R Disc

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

So I burned files onto a CD-R disc.

 

A 50-minute .WMV file of "The Monday Night War"...part 1 is this file.

 

It copied successfully. Can it be played in my DVD player? I loaded the disc, and the display said "VCD Disc" and then the screen went black.

 

I would think I'd have to download onto a blank DVD disc...and thus have a DVD burned (which I think the computer has), but I've been told burning onto the CD-R would work.

 

What are the steps I need to take?

I dont think video files from CD-R disc's will play on DVD players.

you first have to turn the files into MPEGs, here's a site that tells how to do everything.

If your dvd player play VCDs, then they work.
