that meet the following criteria:
All tracks are burned in a single, closed session and in ISO9660 disc format. Each file name
has an “.mp3” extension and no other periods. The file tag is no higher than ID3 (ID3v2).
Check for region number compatibility
For any DVD player and DVD disc to be compatible, their region numbers must match.
These numbers are assigned according to where the player and disc are sold.
Check the region number on the bottom of the media center included with your
system. Then be sure to choose only DVD discs that show the same region
number on the disc label or packaging. For example, a Region 1 DVD and
corresponding player should display the mark shown on the right.
Glossary of audio terms

picture relative to the height. For example, if a TV picture has an aspect ratio of 4:3 (read as 4
by 3), the shape of that picture is 4 units wide by 3 units high. The two standard TV aspect
ratios are 4:3 and 16:9.
Chapter – A main division of contents in a DVD title.
