Choppy Jerky DVDs

Hi

Hope i've got this in the right forum

I've got some DVDs i've downloaded and also some video from our camcorder that plays fine on my PC

Whenever i burn this to a DVD the playback on my DVD player and through PC is choppy , jerky and shows marks on it and freezes every so often

I've tried a new IDE cable to my DVD writter but still get the same.. AM using Nero 6 to burn and writting at 2x speed with no other apps running.

Not sure why this is happening or what else I can change and need some advice

 

Have you tryed useing something like winavi converter?to convert the files to mpeg?

 

the files play ok on my pc.. and i've used a few different programs to convert stuff.. i've even tried some vob files i've got off the internet all play fine on the pc it's only after burning them... i've got a few m-peg 2 files so i know they are fine it must be something to do with the DVD writter or something

 

hi

what is the media id code on the discs?

 

i've got some Mirro Platinum DCD-R discs branded as 4x and i am burning at 2x.. will try some different brands DVDs in the week when i buy some more

 

hi

use dvd identifier to tell us the media ID code off the discs, not so much brand names they dont mean much, but i never heard of thoses?

 

dvd identifier says

Disc - DVD-R An31

Anwell Precision Technologoes is the make
AN31 is the ID

 

hi

i think theres your problem get some descent media i use RITEK with (Ritek GO5) dye

 

thanks for the info.. yes thy are cheap and were free with the writter.. i guess now i know why

where can i get the ones you said.. was going to buy some Sony or TDK discs and test them out first

 

hi

USA i think they use bestbuy? or newegg?

UK = http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk <-- (highly recommended by me!!!)

 

well just to test this out i got some TDK discs from HMV and the one i've tried so far is working fine.. will get some of them Ritek discs you recommended and ditch the free ones i got with the drive

thanks for all the help

 

Stay away from TDK dvd+r media. The dvd-r's should be fine as well as Sony dvd+r's and dvd-r's. If you order online verbatum and taiyo yuden are most highly recommended. Good online stores include supermediastore.com, rima.com, newegg.com, and meritline.com.
