Using Adobe Premier Elements I am trying to copy a video (Mpeg 4) from my gopro to a DVD that will play both on a computer and also a DVD player. No matter how many times I try the DVD will not play on both sometimes on the computer though. I always tick the Mpeg 4 box but I finish up with a VOB file or a VTS file. Anyone help?

It might also help if you described the process you're using to convert that MP4 to DVD. Copying it to a DVD won't work. You need to transcode the file.
I'm not sure where you're finding the option to "tick the MPEG 4 box". If you're burning a DVD, your only option is to output an MPEG2/VOB.

Will MPeg 2 play both on computer and a DVD player?

A DVD is more than just a movie on a DVD disc. It needs to be properly formatted as VOB files and usually navigation in order to play on a standard DVD player.
As I've said, I think you're taking the wrong steps to create a playable DVD. But I can't say for sure because you haven't described the steps you took to create your disc.

You need to output a DVD file and burn it to a disc.
What steps are you taking to create your video file?

I am following the instructions provided by Adobe Premier Elements on creating a disc

My general process
1 - start a new project
2 - import my pictures and video files
3 - do any trimming and/or transitions
4 - use the share option to write an ISO as DVD output
5 - use Imgburn to write the ISO to disc
The DVD I create will play on computer and in a player at my TV (*)
(*) I have one very old player connected to an extra TV that will not play any home made DVD

Again, if we know what you're doing, we can figure out why it's not working.
