Do most dvd players support mpeg audio?

DVD players that will play MPG/ MPEG?

• It may not be a popular topic or thing to do.....But i cant seem to find a solid answer anywhere.... All i hear is about converting this and that.... Not currently, but i have owned 2 DVD players in the last 5 or so years that would play raw MPG files.... Rather it was ripped from youtube, or a personal video from my camera of my kids or something... All i had to do was burn it to a simpe Data disc and it would play right away on a DVD player..... Some DVD players will do so, but i think most wont..... So my question is, if i went to best buy or even wal-mart....What would i look for on a box that will tell it will play MPG's like that? I've looked around, and i'm guessing the ones that do, dont say "MPG compatible" obvoisly.... So what do i need to look for? I mean i have another DVD player i use for my DVD Collection obvoisly.... But i mean with my little boy, i could burn an entire season of the spiderman cartoon for him like that with lost for him to watch of a long period of time..(not all at once of course)... But simple, what do i need to look for?

• Answer:

  In principle, ALL DVD players can play MPEG files, but as you found out, most, expect to see them in VOB file format. You want to get a player that can recognize an ISO 9660 file format so you can navigate and see your files. All DVD players that support xvid or dvix or MP3 can do that. If they can play AVI files, they can certainly play mpg files. The cheapest the DVD player of UNKNOWN (Chinese) brand, the better the playback (They don't pay royalties , so they support almost everything) Good luck.
