Well, after a long absence, I'm back in the forums. However, this time it's for P2G.
I have several music videos in MP4 that I want to burn to DVD. However, when I import them, I get the message "invalid format" - see atch 1.
Atch 2 shows the properties of the videos.
What am I not understanding about making a DVD using MP4 videos?
Thanks for straightening me out.

Not sure if this is your problem or not but if your using P2G on a windows 11 computer, it is not compatible. I cannot burn any disc from the dvd creator on my windows 11 laptop. P2G 13 Platinum specs are not supported in win 11. Now they have recently put out a patch that might work now and I'm reinstalling the program to see if it works! Cyberlink is not a good company to deal with because i bought the product twice for different computers & it didn't work on win 11 but they say i had it too long to get a refund.
Be careful buying from them!

No, I'm still using Win 10. Don't know of any other software that I can burn CD/DVDs. Jack

P2Go11 works properly in creating a DVD folder on my windows 11 pc.

More than likely the particular video file is in a format not accepted by P2Go. Use this online link: https://mediaarea.net/MediaInfoOnline . Drag n drop that file and Download the Mediainfo report. Attach that text report on your next reply.

Since you are familiar with PowerDirector, drag your mp4 to the timeline and create a video DVD with no menu.

Thanks for the attachment. The above mediainfo report indicates that the video format is vp09 whereas the 4K videodownloader downloads are in the VP9 format from YouTube. The two codecs are not the same. Use any video converters or even HandBrake to convert it to an avc mp4 format It will then be compatible to use with P2Go.

That particular video file might be compatible with your version of PowerDirector as indicated by Jeff. That would be the easiest fix. You may want to use chapters and menus too.

Thanks again for getting me on the right track. As always, I can always count on you.
Happy and safe 4th. Jack

I'd try two things before another burn! First download & install the latest cyberlink patch for P2G. Restart the computer & get a converter for your dvd. It may need to be converted to the .Mp4 format again due to corruption or something else. 4K video should do fine.

Thanks for the video details, VP9 in MP4 is typically not supported in PD, only VP9 in webm extension container. As tomasc said, it's worth a try, but my guess unsupported. You can simply convert to acceptable format with HandBrake or similar conversion tool so PD and/or P2G can import the video file so you can burn to video DVD.
