Movie Software Advice Please...

[Ringmaster]

Greetings folks,

Some advice on making a DVD I can play on any home Dvd player please....

I'm using Windows 10. I downloaded a free movie making app called Animotica from the Microsoft Store. This helped me create my 'movie' and saved it into MP4 format. I also downloaded a free file converter app from the MS store called Video Converter Any Format.

I used this to covert the movie from MP4 to MPEG (it did not offer MPEG-2 format) and then burned it to a DVD disc using win media player. When I tried to play the disc on my 10 year old Sony DVD player it recognised nothing...

I assume my error is using MPEG rather than MPEG-2? I don't think I used WMPlayer in the wrong way...

Can anyone see where I went wrong? Can anyone suggest an alternative file converter?
Preferably free and from a trusted source, such as the MS Store?

Thank you.....
