The 'video format' DVDs run on PCs running Windows with appropriate DVD hard/ software such as WMP, Nero Showtime or PowerDVD as well as on TV/video players. The MPEG-4 digital versions run on DVD & CD drives, the latter using such software as Quicktime (PC & Macs), WMP and Nero Showtime but not on my TV/video player. I do not have the facilities to check every possible option but will swap one format for the other if anyone has problems.
