Windows Explorer will show 2 folders on a DVD, if the drive is working
correctly. These are VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. VIDEO_TS holds the video
files that are played by a DVD player. AUDIO_TS`is used for audio only
DVDs. If your DVD is from a camcorder, it needs to be finalised in the
camera to work correctly.

If you can't see these folders in Windows explorer, either your drive is
faulty or the DVD is not compatible with it.

Not necessarily. There are easy to use single program solutions, or
there are suites of programs that are more versatile, but harder to use.

No. The most widely readable are Windows Media or Real Player formats.
Mpeg4 is good for saving space, but a lot of people don't have the
programs installed to view it.

You'd be best off talking face to face with an expert who has a certain
amount of hardware expertise as well as video knowledge. You may have
hardware problems.

You'll also make less enemies if you only post to one newsgroup at a
time, as most people regard crossposting as rude.
