Why I can't read .MOV videos on DVD player?

Hello people!


I am digitizing old VHS tapes with Quicktime Player. Once the videos are burned, the DVD player can play some of them but others do not work. They all have the same resolution.


I tried to convert them to MP4 but the problem persists. If I put the videos on a USB key in the DVD player, nothing works. It says the files are damaged.


Thank you for your precious help!

OK. so in most cases, you need additional software to burn the videos to a DVD that will play in a stand alone DVD player. I personally use a free app called Burn. it gives me everything that I need from it. if you need more functionality, you might want to try the paid app Roxio Toast 20.
