Hi all,
I have one of the above cameras, I took some video of a birthday party recently and uploaded it to my laptop, I then burned it to a DVD disc, however when I put the disc into my DVD player it will not play and on the screen it says DVD unknown.
Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Kind regards.

I am not surprised!
You need to convert the file(s) to the standard DVD format first (MPEG-2) from possible avi, which is what you would have after transferring from camera (usually)
You need to use something like DVD Flick .. or AVS to convert to DVD.
Then it will play fine.

I do not have JVC but a Sony. But I believe systems are all same. You must have received a software with it. While converting, it usually gives you option about where you want to play the output, computer, or DVD player. Once you make a selection then it does automatically what Albags said.

If I were you, I would use one of the free sofwares I told you about.
They are both a lot better than any free converter you will get with a camera.

If you wanna make a DVD that will work on a standard DVD player, you will need a DVD burning tool to do this. Just copy the movie to a DVD disc, it will actually not read by DVD players.

The best and most reliable DVD burning tool that I've ever used is a tool called DVD Creator. It's able to burn all kinds of videos to DVD disc. After that, you can view the DVD on DVD player. It also lets you edit videos and create DVD menus. Easy to use and professional.

You should really give it a try. You may check out at:

Best of luck.
