I was successful in converting it with Miro to a mp4, but these Standalone DVD player to your TV won't play that format. So I have to Play it on my Computer using VLC.
What Format does these standalone DVD players, Play ?
*Which* standalone DVD players?
The format for a standard video DVD is MPEG in a VOB file, and there are plenty of web pages that give you the specifications for that. There are programs that should automatically convert your video file into a standard DVD, I've done that on Linux before, but so long ago that I don't recall which program, and things have probably changed since then (Fedora Core 4 era, I think).
When it comes to players supporting non-standard discs, it all depends on the particular player. Some will only play standard video DVDs, with everything else having to be on a CD, some will play other files on any type of disc. A common file format is DIVX, but some will play almost any AVI file.
