DVD-RWS Play on DVD players?

[GhandiInstinct]

Are only DVD-Rs compatible with home dvd players? I tried using a DVD-RW on my home dvd player and it didn't play.

Goto videohelp.com and look at the compatiblility charts. Not all players work with all types of media

So far DVD- + and +RW work on my Panasonic.

DVD Player Chart

Most newer DVD players read -R and +R media just fine. RW media is a little more iffy, though.

I think myne didn't work because the audio on the movie was wma and my player doesn't support wma only mp3.

Wait, what are you trying to play? Audio on DVDs is neither WMA or MP3. Is this a DIVX movie or something? If so, very few DVD players will play that

Other then my CRAPPY Dell laptop (LOL) I have not ran into a DVD-player that didn't play my DVD-RW disk.....Maybe I am lucky but that includes all 3 of mine in the house, my parents, my sister, my niece's built in TV one, and a few of my friends who watched some of my CSI episodes on DVD....

I'm playing a streaming windows media video I downloaded off a site, and then put it onto my DVD-RW disk and it contains wma audio which my player doesn't support.

I have a windows media video with wma audio, but my DVD player won't play WMA so can I somehow transfer the audio to mp3?

I imagine so...BUt it will likely take you tearing apart the WMV separating the 2 streams (video and audio) and then reencoding the uadio and muxing them back together....

Now I have done it with Mpeg, Divx, Xvix, and generic AVI, but I can t say I have done it to a WMV file....

Go to www.doom9.net and see if they have some guides to help you do it...

I couldn't find anything about splitting video and audio on their, care to elaborate?

I actually have a DVD+-RW DL drive that won't read some DVD-RW (I think it is -, its a Sony disk), so don't count on it reading in all of your drives. This is even though the same disk reads fine in a DVD-ROM I have.
