CD and DVD are different types of media - CD holds around 700 MB (or

74 minutes of audio), DVD holds around 4.7 GB of data. DVD-Video is a particular structure of directories, files and specification of their formats that must be used on a DVD disc so that DVD players can "understand" and play the movie on the disc with all of the menus, subtitles, audio tracks, and other features.

The formats your DVD player can understand depend on the model. Most of the DVD players can understand DVD-Video and regular audio CDs. Most newer ones also support MP3 CDs, but I've never tried to play MP3 DVDs on a regular DVD player.

Try burning your MP3s on a regular CD, not a DVD. If this doesn't work, you may have to make an Audio CD from your MP3s to play it in your DVD player (select the "Audio CD" option when creating a disc, for example in Nero Burning ROM 6).

Hope this helps,

In a nutshell the DVD player may only be expecting DVD-Video on DVD media, if it reads your writeable DVD media fine.

DVD players of almost any age will read DVD formated DVD-R media, and many of that age will read DVD+R too. Newer ones will read DVD-RW and DVD+RW media.

In the last 3 or so years, they started being able to read ISO-9660 (with extensions) and UDF formated CD's and DVD's (DVD-R,DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW) with MP3 files. The next step which came later was being able to play AVI files with MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and some versions of MPEG-4 (the commerical one is called DIVX).

The current production ones have USB host ports and you can use a USB memory stick and possibly a hard drive.

Not 100% relevant, but some early DVD-ROM and DVD burners would not read DVDs burnt on competing media. For example, Apple DVD drives made before November of 2003 would not READ DVD+R or DVD+RW disks.
