It is likely that your DVD player cannot read the format. Use Nero, whatever other program you have to convert them to DVD format. The DVD can read the still photographs because they are in .jpg format.

Most cameras save clips in .mov (Quicktime) format, which most (all?) DVD players don't understand. You'll need to get a converter like Super or WinAVI (the latter will need the Quiktime Alternative codec) to convert the files into something DVD-friendly. If you are using a CD, it will either need to be mpeg for conversion to a VCD or (assuming your DVD handles DivX) a DivX/AVI file should play.

Unfortunately, the quality (after being converted and blown up to TV screen size) tends to be a bit poor!
