The common file type for dvd's is .vob (the data file) and I believe you WILL have to convert to this format.
Your burners controlling software package, Nero, DVD Santa, etc needs to convert/encode the source file, eg: (your) movie.avi/mpg/mpeg etc, into this file format before it can be played on non computor based DVD players.
Two other files will also be created/split off, at this time, so as the external DVD players can recognise what to play, a .ifo (file), & a .bup (file)
The resulting "new" file string will look like the following:
Vts_01_0.bup ??KB BUP File
Vts_01_0.ifo ??KB DVD Movie Info
Vts_01_1.vob ???,???KB DVD Movie {the actual movie}
I hope this has helped
