Why won’t Gopro camera video play on DVD Player?
The issue is that GoPro cameras typically do not record using friendly formats for DVD player. Regular standalone DVD players can only read movie DVD’s (those are in MPEG-2, ). Newer DVD players that are DivX-certified can (in addition to the above) read data CD’s or data DVD’s with an AVI file encoded in the DivX codec. But different video resolution options 4k, 2.7k, 1080p, 720p, WVGA that the HERO camera captured are recorded in "H.264 codec, MP4 file format”. You do take you chances with a camera that records video in a format that not certificated by DVD players.
