The main cause is that new DVDs are usually formed with newer formats. Whilst new DVD formats are evolving each year, the outdate DVD player may not be able to handle the latest formats due to the insufficient codecs. For your further information, basic formal DVD data is using the compression of MPEG-2 format which is also known as H.222 or H.262. Along with AC-3 or PCM audio formats, MPEG-2 DVDs can reproduce clear and colorful media content.

Your player doesn't support the raw file format like less expensive models all seem to do.
Either that, or your unit doesn't support Divx or Xvid or whatever format the movie was encoded in.
You need to transcode the movie into a normal DVD format.
Programs like NERO are great for this purpose.
You can get a trial version of NERO from their website, but I highly recommend purchasing it.
You can get a fully working 15 day trial of the newest version here:

I download video from my flip video, but I cannot burn to DVD-RW...it says to insert CD which I have already done

What CD are you using to Burn then movie?

Get a Blank DV Rewriteable CD (make sure its blank)

Format the DVD CD by right clicking it from Windows Explorer and follow the instructions. (this should not be neccessary especially if its a blank CD)

Use a normal copy and paste from Windows Explorer to copy the movie file or folder into the DVD drive.

this process absolves the issue of media formats and portability. Also most CD DVD Burning Softwares are not compatible with some players.

How to Rip DVD to iTunes for Free

Want to watch movies from your own DVD library on your iPod? With Instant Handbrake, free software for Mac OSX, you can easily make any DVD into an iTunes-compatible movie.<br /> <a href="http://handbrake.fr/">HandBrake</a> is an open-source program designed to convert MPEG video (including DVD-Video) into an MPEG-4 video file in MPEG-4 Part 14 (.mp4) or Matroska (.mkv) containers. The program is used to convert DVDs into other forms so they can be viewed on iPods, iPhones and with the Mac QuickTime Player.<br /> <a href="http://www.rip-dvd-copy.com/images/how-to/handbrake.png"><img src="handbrake.png" /></a><br /> Step by step guide:<br /> 1: Install Handbrake<br /> Simply download the "Windows GUI" from the Handbrake download page then run the installer. It's that simple. If you get a prompt telling you that you don't have the correct version of .Net framework installed, then you'll need to download this from the Microsoft website.<br /> 2: Select your DVD source.<br /> 3: Insert your DVD. You many need to stop the auto-play.<br /> 4: Hit "Continue" in Instant Handbrake. It will begin to scan your DVD.<br /> 5: Select the file you want to convert. For full-length movies, this will be the file with the longest duration. For DVDs of TV Shows, please refer to the "Tips" section.<br /> 6: Select where you want the converted files to be saved to. It's a good idea to save it to your "Movies" folder in Mac OSX.<br /> 7: For the rest of the options on this screen, select H.264 for the "File Format," and for the "Picture Format" select "Original." This will preserve the picture format (wide or full screen) that's on the DVD.<br /> 8: Hit "Convert." The movie will now be converted and saved to the folder you indicated in step six.<br /> 9: Launch iTunes.<br /> 10: Navigate to the folder your movie is saved in and drag the MP4 file into the iTunes Movie Folder.<br /> 11: Hook up your iPod and sync up - or if you manually transfer from iTunes to your iPod, drag the movie on to your iPod. Now you're ready to enjoy your movie on the go!<br /> Tips & Warnings:<br /> If you have a DVD of TV shows, it's recommended that you export each individual show. DVD's have a "Play All" feature, which is all the episodes jammed into one file, this will be the longest duration in the list of files you get in step 5.<br /> You can also export to PSP format if you've got one of those. H.264 is the best quality format for iPod.<br /> Handbrake is a more robust version of Instant Handbrake. The program offers more options, but the concept is the same. This will work on Windows and Linux as well as Mac OSX<br /> Copy protection may prevent DVDs from being converted to iPod format.<br /> More tag info: <a href="http://www.freedvdripper.org/rip-dvd-to-itunes-free.html">rip dvd to itunes free</a>, <a href="http://www.freedvdripper.org/">dvd ripper</a>, <a href="http://www.freedvdripper.org/dvdvideoguide/how-to-rip-copyrighted-dvd.html">How to rip copyrighted dvd</a>.<br />
