When I save my video to a CD it will not play back on the computer. When the CD opens it has a bunch of files and none will play. I would like them to play in Microsoft Media player.

A lot more information is needed, because you did not provide any. What program did you use to create your production? How did you burn it to the CD?

I am using EMC9, did my video in video wave, burned in My DVD Express, burned as a VCD to the CD.

What are the files on the CD?

They are a DAT File, says read only.

The disc file structure of a VCD is a little odd.

Your 'movie' is in the MPEGAV directory and is called MUSIC01.DAT!

Point Media Player to that file and all should be well.

Thanks, James. I couldn't remember what the file structure was. I only made one SVCD, way back when, and I didn't like the quality, so I bought a DVD burner.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and my wife thought it was good, but I didn't. She does know though, that I bought a DVD burner or 2 since I started doing video productions.
