I was curious so I burned one of my favorites, Dances with Wolves in four formats. .flv .mov .mp3 .mpg/mpeg

.flv plays on my Total Video Player (the conversion software I use is Total Video Converter and the player came with it). .flv is associated with TVP.

.mpg and .mp3 play on my Windows Media Player by double clicking. .mp3 is audio only and that only plays a shorter clip on both players so I'll have to figure out why it didn't convert the whole sound track.

Actually I got a message on Windows Media Player that it would try .flv and .mov. It plays them, but I had to do an open with.

So it looks like WMP and TVP both will play all four.

I haven't tried to burn any dvd's on the imac yet. I got an external dvd burner for my pc, but there's a conflict with Roxio cd burner. Since I didn't want to remove that because it's so intuitive, I can't use the dvd player on my pc.

I sure love that video.

I am now convinced that there is NO way to put a movie on a cd to play in ‘any’ dvd player.

Thanks To All
