Problem burning mp4 videos to DVD using Nero and DVDFlick?

[daone36]

Hi guys new to the forums with probably a nooby question.
Ive got some mp4 files that are of sporting events, I want to burn these to DVD so a friend can watch on his DVD player.

I used to use Nero 7 in the past but i seem to be having trouble with it at the moment, Dosent matter what i do i cant get it to recognize the files, Im not sure if this is a Nero problem or a win7 problem as Ive heard nero7 has troubles with win7.

A friend gave me shampoo 10 burning studio, I managed to burn the files to DVD but when i watched the DVDs they were really zoomed in and being football games are unwatchable when you cant see the hole screen. I couldn't seem to find any options to change the aspect ratio or settings that would make it fit properly.

I just tried to use DVDFlick and that didn't recognize the files either.
I don't know what im doing wrong it never used to be this difficult

Thanks for any help in advance

Use MediaInfo to find out what audio and video codecs are used in your mp4 files.

Can you play your MP4 files with Windows Media Player?
Do you have any Codec Packs installed?
