Hey everyone i finnaly figured it out. There is no problem with either my dvd burner, programs or dvd player the problem was my media 1 is the cheap media that did cause the dvd to freeze up when being played 2 the reason for the disc error on the dvd player was cause by using the wrong media disc. I have a multi format dvd burner (dvd+r/+rw,-r/-rw) and a dvd player that only plays dvd-r my problem was that i was using dvd+r media and it was not compatable with my dvd player. Use dvd-r media with multiformat burner with dvd-r dvd player and problem solved IT WORKS. THANKS ALOT FOR ALL THE INFO IT WAS GREATLY APRECIATED.
