VF Mylink DVD

Maybe it uses MP4? Or maybe you need to actually burn it into the disc not just copy the files over. Using a program like NERO etc...

 

ConvertXtoDVD always works a treat for my needs

Yeah you need to convert them to the format DVD movies use. DVD is not a format its a storage media if you just burn and AVI or MP4 to it that doesn't make it a DVD in the sense most people think of it. You need to convert and burn it so its the format a DVD movie is in. I would also suggest NERO I use it for all my AVCHD discs (format for Bought Blu-ray Discs)

 

If the DVDs play in your PC or home player drives but not MyLink, try burning at a slower speed (this was mostly corrected and not needed with new recording media and drives, however it's worth a shot)

Try a different brand of DVD record media, old dives were also fussy about DVD+R discs compared with DVD-R media, it's an option but again shouldn't make a difference on such a new player. Again older player drives had some issues with DVD+/-R Dual Layer discs, if you're using those.

Next would be to try a different DVD burner.

Not familiar with I'm TOO DVD Creator, however check for selection boxes on the recording options, look for compatibility modes etc

I'll have my redline hopefully by next weekend and will try if you haven't sorted by then.

I can't think of a reason why I would ever want to watch a DVD in the car.

 

You, as the driver might not, but its nice for passengers on long trips. Especially kids.

 

Its impossible to watch a DVD while driving the car. The car has to be stationary in park or neutral before the DVD will allow it.

 

And then if you turn the car off it only works for a few minutes. Other than wank factor, I can't think of a reason for it.

I never used it in my last car and I can't see myself using it again in this one.

 

Only the screen on the head unit, the rear screen(s) still work when the car's in motion, I assume that this is what the OP is using.

 

We'll... I disagree !
My vf ute makes for a great little home theatre. I actually have an awesome home theatre in the house with a fantastic ,big flat screen TV and a Dali surround system as well as some room treatment.
But I love my new vf ute, I've loved all 4 of the new holden utes that I've had and this one is the first with a DVD player.
This is what I do, I have what I call a "ute party" whenever the mood takes me.
It goes like this, drive down to the brewery ,grab a six pack of pale ale, drive home and park in the garage,close the roller door. Insert fav music dvd, tonight I was watching a few tracks from the ACDC family jewels dvd. Shut down the engine then, without your foot on the brake,hold down the start button til it switches into accessories mode and play your dvd, adjust your tone and fader balance to suit, drink the beer and enjoy your new vf,the beer ,the music and life!
I did this for about 45 mins tonight, in accessories mode ithe mylink timer is bypassed, it just keeps playing.
I do this because I love being in my ute,love the seats, love the way music sounds in there etc etc. I wouldn't watch a movie in there, it's just about music and alcohol for me..party!
It would be nice if Holden were to make a mylink update that offered a "drive in mode" that would allow you to sit in your car with the engine off and listen to the radio,cd,DVD or whatever for as long as you want,whilst turning off the dash lights,and temp,fuel gauges to help conserve battery voltage. Wouldn't be too hard for them to add a pop up warning on the screen when battery voltage is getting dangerously low and initiate a shutdown...maybe I will write to them and suggest this,couldn't hurt to try...anyway this little work around works just fine. I love my ute parties,
Here's a tip though, never invite your missus to your ute party....she will just wanna keep turning down the volume " so we can talk" Groan!! You can invite a mate to your ute party though...that works ok..
