yes and yes.

regular dvd players will not play a movie unless it's in mpeg2 format (DVD format).

I believe NERO can actually convert the movie to mpeg2.

Just to quickly check that the momvie is in the right format do the following:

First of all make sure that you are using at least 3 or 4 GB of the space on the disc (this for a movie of regualr length). Then on your computer, look at the contents on your DVD if you don't have two folders (audio_ts and video_ts) then you probably won't be able to play the movie on your dvd player.
