Copying TV shows from your PC

[Sonovabich]

My son has all 3 series of "Sons of Anarchy" on CD's copied from his PC, i missed first series so never watched and i would really like to see it, yesterday he copied series 1 on to a DVD but when i tried it on my DVD player i got message "unknown disk" and "disk error" is there some format we have to change it to before i can watch it on my TV, if so how do we do that, yes i could watch it on my PC  too but the wife would also like to see it and i ain't having her sitting on my knee in my computer room, all help would be greatly appreciated

You get that error alot of times when a disc is in compatible with the dvd player,

I have used an hdmi cable from laptop to TV to do almost the same thing. Just  a thought

Or just download it from this site: http://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/sons-of-anarchy-season-1/id289274652

 

and go get one of these: http://www.apple.com/appletv/

To play on your DVD player, the disk has to be in DVD-Video format (refer to wiki here for folder structure). 

 

I've been hunting around for some utility that can convert other formats to it (most of the time folks want to do the reverse.)  What format of video has the show been recorded in?  Since beginning to use a PVR, I really haven't done much recording to DVD myself.

 

I guess you don't have the facility to stream content over a home network to the TV in another room?  I've become a fan of DLNA recently though I haven't tried using the PC as a video server.  Works OK for streaming music and still photos via a Sony Blu Ray player connected to the home network though.

Yea I got all 3 of my tv's network'd from a 4 terrabite nas using asus oplays works great. This stuff still inits infancey though. I just hate scrolling through file after file looking for what I want. One day it will be as easy as netflicks well I hope. As for burning your file from the pc to something that works on your dvd player. It depends on what your dvd player will work with. Most newer ones should play back H264 format with out a problem. To convert to that I use handbrake great program http://handbrake.fr/ But if your DVD only plays dvd I would say use MS new windows live movie maker to change whatever foprmat on the pc to a dvd works great its here  http://explore.live.com/windows-live-movie-maker. Good luck let us know if that works for you

go out and buy the cheapest piece of shit DVD player you can find... NO NAME BRANDS!! The name brand DVD players usualy wont play burnt disks. I paid 20 bucks for my DVD player, if i put a waffle in it, Syrop would come down my screen, it plays everything. Then i have a $200 5 disk Sony DVD player that wont play nothing but store bought DVDs. Look for one that is AVI/MPEG/MPEG4/DivX compatible.

Lol i think i will wait until the repeats come on

You have to change  format in to video ts use a program to make a dvd   for your player   i  use nero  but there are more programs for it

A   dvd  for a player needs  a menu

 

Ore use   a program like  winavi but just  google   ........... to   dvd   for a program you can find them on the internet
