do most modern DVD players play .mp4

do most modern DVD players play .mp4 files? I built a slideshow in Lightroom and burnt a DVD using ImageBurn. My PS3 plays it but my friend's old DVD player doesn't recognize it.

it not the drive is the player you need vcl or a player and the right video and audio plug ins. with older dvd if they cant read the disk it may be a firmware issue that causes the drive not to read the media.

Since you are talking about stand alone dvd players, it depends. Anything listed as DivX certified should be able to.

Others will actually say MP4 on the front or tray like it says DVD/Audio CD/DivX/MP4/MP3/ect

Do not assume that all players will play it because they will not. Look for the specs.

I dont think many do. Some will read divx and xvid. The ones that do read mp4 are not cheap and the ones I've seen are overseas(Japan).

I have picked up multiple ones at walmart Philips and I think Panasonic.

They cost something like $100 5-6 years ago.

Even got one at the hardware store for $40 around the same time.

I would not call them hard to find
