===================================
Maybe the movie files are DivX or Xvid...
(these can be quite stubborn to work with)
This can be verified by using the freeware
GSpot:
GSpot Codec Identifier

GSpot Super Quick Start

Best bet (believe it or not) would be to purchase
a DVD player that is compatible with DivX and
Xvid movie files.
Then you do not have to create a Video DVD...
all you have to do is create a Data DVD which
means you can burn several movies on one disk...
If the movie file size is not more that 700 MBs
you can even burn them on a Data CD.
Here's an example of a DVD player that will play
the files.
Philips DVP5990

(this one plays DivX and Xvid...some only play DivX)
