Are your files raw mpeg files? If so, then they have to be rendered
to .vob files FIRST before burning onto disc (within a VIDEO_TS
folder). You will also have to create/author .ifo and .bup files for
your DVD player to recognize and navigate through the disc.

You need to AUTHOR the DVD with your mpeg file(s) to the correct
protocol/format so your DVD player will recognize the disc.

You will have to purchase an authoring software program, unless your
burner came with one bundled with it. MANY authoring programs are
commercially-available. These is just a few that you can choose from:

I use DVD Lab for simple things. It only supports 1 audio track (DVD
standard allows you to have 8 audio tracks), and needs the video from the
mpeg file to have been encoded with an aspect ratio set to 4:3 or 16:9 (some
are 1:1, and these wont work).

If your burner came with some discs with stuff on 'em, see what it is.
Anything from Sonic is a start.

As for that use DVD+RW disc stuff as it has less coasters, thats bull. I
can GUARANTEE you will NEVER coaster a DVD+RW. Just erase it and try again,
so you'll never render one useless.
