    I have a Dell Studio Laptop.

    When a burn a DVD of videos from a camcorder - they work fine as a DVD on a computer. But when I play them as a DVD in a regular DVD player it doesnt work.

    Anyone know why this is or how to fix it. I want to be able to use the DVD films I burn on a regular DVD and TV.

    I'm pretty sure that video from a PC needs to be 'authored' correctly in order for it be played on a standalone DVD player. I use NERO to do this (I don't know of any free software that can do it). I'm open to correction on this.

    DVD Flick will let you encode your video files to DVD Video Files (VOBs etc) and burn them onto blank DVD media which will play on any standalone DVD player...

    Actually, even using the built in Windows DVD maker will do this, and its very easy, step by step for creating menu's etc

    This is assuming you're using Windows of course...

    I take it your pulling the movies files from the camcorder, then burning the movie files directly to the DVD? This is in essence creating a data disk, NOT a 'DVD Movie'.
