what format does a dvd player read
Most DVD players cannot read AVI/RM/RMVB... etc. files directly. To be able to watch such videos on the TV, you must first convert them to a format that the DVD player can understand. This format is MPEG-2. MPEG-1 is also readable by DVD Players, but they have much lower quality. If you want to make VCDs then that is the format you want to convert to. This tutorial will not be covering the process for creating VCDs.
