[SOLVED] Help burning a home video to a DVD

[Braxton Jensen]

I recently recorded some of my old home video VHS taps and now have an mp4 file for them. I want to transfer them into a disc/DVD but am having issues doing so. I tried just using the built-in Windows 10 burning "program" but after it is done it doesn't seem to work in any of my DVD players in which, I tried two separate ones as well as my Xbox One as well but it just spits the disk back out. I haven't burned a disc/DVD in a really long time so I don't really remember if I needed to do anything special but now I am just confused on how to get this mp4 file that I got onto a disc that is able to be played on a DVD player.

Thanks in advance for helping, hopefully, I can get this figured out.

You could try using third party software for burning such as Burnaware....

With BurnAware (the free version) that would allow me to just select the MP4 file, I have currently and just burn it to the disc and it'll work with basically any DVD player? Or is there something else I need to do first?

No,You don't need to do anything more , You Just need to make sure that The DVD you will use Is DVD-R because some DVD Players refrain from Playing DVD+R (though they sometimes do but they don't play it Nicely) but other than that,You're Good to Go.

You can try this if Burnaware is not right for You:

I am using a DVD-R Disc, with that said though, with BurnAware once opened there is a lot of options but there is one labeled "DVD-Video" and I am assuming I need to use that one. When I click on that it comes up with a new window and in there I need to add the file or whatever. But as a placeholder there are two folders in there, do I just ignore them or what?

Thanks for the help thusfar

May IAsk The Name of the 2 Folders?

There is one folder called, "Audio_TS" and one called "Video_TS". The only file I have and am trying to burn onto a disc to be able to play on a DVD player is a singular MP4 file so I am a bit confused.

I have just thrown the MP4 file into it and it is currently burning. I'll let you know if it worked or not once it is done (might be a little as my burner is a bit slow) hopefully this works.

Decent DVD players are able to play MP4 files in recorded screen resolution aka 1080p too. But yes, from VHS you will not get anything better than 720p so legacy DVD format is OK then.
