Hi,
i think the symptom you describe has nothing to do with regions (or DVD protection...a subject i wan't to avoid).
Contrary to standard Windows PC's, standalone players are limited to a fixed set of MPEG profiles.
Some only play MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 main profile (probably 'high profile') and MP3 audio.
Rule of thumb: the more respectable the brand, the more restrictive the player ;-)
My Samsung DG-36 DVD player accepts official DVDs and licensed DIVX discs, but chokes on XVID files, as well as SVCD discs (and skips most arbitrary files offered on stick).
You will have to find out what the source * really contains * and then find a suitable authoring software.
An MP4 file could be
- MPEG-H part 2 (HEVC/H.265)
- MPEG-4 part 10 (AVC/H.264),
- MPEG-4 part 2,
- MPEG-2 video or
- MPEG-1 video.
So in select cases one can simply remux the stream to (DVD; MPEG-2) compatible output and avoid the quality loss that comes with a full blown remaster.
Back in the days i used ProjectX, then 'Nero 7 Recode' to transcode a MPEG-2 transport stream (captured from DVB as .TS) into a proper DVD project (with title screen and all).
Later, i had access to Cypheros TS Doctor, which allowed me to clean, inspect and cut a stream without the need to remaster (a rare feature, especially when it comes to MPEG-4 transport streams).
There are certainly better programs. It depends a bit on how beefy your PC is. I/O throughput is king.
I wouldn't want to deal with random (= broken, wrongly labeled) streams from unknown sources on a regular basis, especially on a run-of-the-mill laptop.
EDIT: ProjectX is out of date. Mentioned tools are legitimate and not intended -or suited- to circumvent DVD copy protection...
