Video Format To Play Dvd-rw's In Factory Dvd Nav Unit

[monstercb2002]

Does anybody know if it is possible to burn and play videos through the factory DVD player up-front? I want to play a collection of music videos. If so, what format do the videos need to be in?

 

I want to use a RW disc so I can interchange videos and add as I download them.

 

Thanks in advance to all who reply!

AFAIK, the only video format it will play is the same DVDs you play on your TV.

Which really sucks......

 

What I can't understand is why it will play MP3's on a CD, but not on a DVD. geez.....

Your videos can really be in any format you want. what you need to do is encode them into a format for a dvd player to notice. For me i use a program called dvd flick (free) and use that to burn them onto a dvd

Ok. Cool.

 

Do any off you use DVD-RW's or DVD+RW's to play in the factory nav unit? This would save the need for burning a whole bunch of DVD-R's.

 

DVD-R's play fine in the factory NAV unit.

DVD Flick works! Played my videos on a DVD+RW through the factory NAV player. All I have to do now is find the video format that will sync the video and the words. I hate watch TV when the video and the words aren't in sync. Once I find the file format that will sync the video and the words, I'm good to go.
