WMV and MPG are both computer formats. Unless the standalone player is
specifically designed to recognize and play them, it won't have a clue what
they are. Along with using the right type of blanks, the videos you wish to
burn must be converted into a format that the standalone player understands
(i.e. the list you typed out here). Most burners have the ability to
convert while burning, but you must choose the correct function in order to
make that happen. you might also have to dictate more specifics than that,
depending on the standalone player's demands.
I'm no expert on any of this, so I'm hoping someone else will chime in here
and set the record straight on what you should look for in your burning
program. It's likely something like "Burn as a DVD Movie", but don't go by
that until you hear from others who do this sort of thing often.
Peace,
Gman
