". . . but I have MILES TO GO before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep." Robert Frost

I don't put vids from my camera to my laptop to a CD/DVD very often, but when I do, one repeated problem I have is that it apparently gets formatted in a way that only a PC can read. I find I can't play the finished CD in a television/DVD player.

Because I don't do it often, I can't recall from one attempt to another what, if anything, I did different. Can anyone give a simple solution for me like making certain a particular format is used? These are .mpg movie files.
