I have onmy computer a mp 4 file with a movie. I couldn't play it at all before I downloaded iTunes with QuickPlayer. Now I can see it on my laptop, by opening the file with iTunes or even with DivxPlayer. But I have another problem. I want to play this file on my Phillips Home Cinema by burning it on a cd/dvd, but my home cinema says that the disc has an error. I tried to burn the file on my cd with divxplayer and even with iTunes, but my home cinema says the same thing that the cd has an error. What can I do? I want to see this movie on my tv, not only on my laptop. It is possible if my home cinema doesn't have mp4 player, but only mp3 player, that's the cause of the problem? help...

Got it in one that is exactly what is happening here. The Home System can not read a MP4 File so is reporting a Disc Error owing to a incompatible File Format.

Convert the MP4 file to a different format.
Try .AVI, DivX or better yet, DVD format.

 
Here's a great free utility to do that:
QuickMediaConverter - http://www.cocoonsoftware.com/

 
Or a better converter (but not free) is Video Cleaner by RiverPast:

If you are looking for a media converter with the best selection of features, my favorite is BlazeMediaPro:

Good Luck.
