Playing MP4 files on DVD Player problem
Posted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 1:23 pm
I have started to record a few videos using my A580 and NEX-5 using the MP4 (MPEG4) format. Whereas I can play these back on the PC using Windows Media Player I cannot play them back on a DVD player. Just purchased a Sony DVD player Model DVP-SR750H purporting to play MPEG4 and MP4. I understand that essentially MPEG4 and MP4 are the same. The movie out of the A580 is listed as MPEG-4. The problem is that the Sony player does not support MPEG-4 although it states it support MPEG-4 "Simple Profile" which means files with DRM encoded cannot be played. Well, video files straight from A580 to a DVD disc hardly have DRM encoded.
Anyone with any ideas on how these A580 videos can be played on a Sony DVD player such as the one listed above. Find it hard to accept that a Sony camera video cannot be played on a Sony DVD player. Maybe that is why they are losing money. Any help will be appreciated.
