    I bought the dvd player in aldi today, I burned some films to a dvd and its not recognizing the .mp4 files,

    is there anyway I can fix this, it says in the manual that it plays MPEG4 so it should work....

    There are probably 100s of different MPEG4 file types out there. The manual should detail which ones are supported, I would not expect a DVD player to support all of them.

    But it also has the DivX logo, and the films play on my computer in the DivX player,

    according to this, mp4 is a misnomer regarding video files. i got a dvd player in lidl years ago and it plays almost all .avi files, so you may need to do some converting

    If you download YouTube Downloader and get the manual, you can convert it to a supported file. Or, you can manually input a codec. Hope it helps!
