I would like to burn a mV4U file to disc so I can play it on an ordinary DVD player.

Could anyone please tell me what I need to convert it to, and which software I need to be able to do this?

 

Thanks!

Hi Mark!!

 

All I can find is that mv4u stands for "Music Videos for you"...

So it is an actual file format??

 

Mhmm, even my "miracle cure" SUPER can't convert from this format.

 

OR am I misunderstanding you??

Go to the Travis downloads thread and you'll see the file I downloaded. I was able to transfer it to disc OK but it won't play in the DVD player.

It's the Rockpalast concert.

Ok, I had a look!

 

It's an "mkv" file.

SUPER or XMedia-Recode are programs which can convert this file type.

 

To burn it onto a DVD may require extra work however. Can your DVD player play avi files?

If not, I'd recommend to convert the concert into .avi, then (if you have it) use Nero to create a proper DVD...

 

If you have more questions, I'd be glad to help!

 

And we still haven't made a Coldplay ringtone for your mobile yet :)

Is it working?

I downloaded this program but it wouldn't recognise the file for some reason.:confused:

Didn't you try it with SUPER then?

Try installing the Matroska Pack Full, then, and try again with The Filmmachine!

Mark, did it work? Otherwise I'm willing to send you a copy via "Deutsche Post" ;)
