I recently had a baby boy and have been recording video clips with my camcorder. I loaded the video onto my computer and used Windows Movie Maker to edit the scenses for the final video. Saved it as a .wmv and opened it in Nero to burn. Nero converted it to DVD format and burned the video but when I went to play it there where PARTS of the video where the audio din't match the video or the video would be freezing/skiping every few seconds. Can anyone tell me what I might have done wrong? I tried watching my video in NTSC format, and also made a PAL format to send to my Grandparents in Ireland. I'm just worried the same thing will happen on there dics. BY the way, the video plays 100% on my computer in Windows Media Player.
what media are you using? did you use good quality media like Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, Sony, Maxell to name a few? If you are using crappy media then it could cause skipping, pixilations and problems in play back. Also, what speed are you burning the DVD? Depending on your media you should be burning at 4x or 8x so you won't get any read errors by the player. Usually, burn at half the speed of the disk.... if you have a 8x disk then burn at 4x. if you have a 16x disk then you can burn at 8x. Some members say that burning too slow like at 2x could cause write errors,too. lots of variables to find out about.
I just picked up 100pk spindle of Memorex DVD-R X16 speed from BestBuy on the weekend. Got a decent deal too! $29CDN Anyways, I used that media and Nero never asked me what speed to burn at. Normally in the Nero Re-encode program it asks what speed to burn at but in the Nero Express 2 where it Automatically converts my .AVI or .WMV files it burns at it's own rate. I don't have an option to adjust the speed...not that I've seen anyways. Any other suggestions? Can anyone tell me if TMPGEnc is a BETTER converter than Nero? I know it's slower but is it better???
I use VSO's ConvertXtoDVD: http://www.vso-software.fr/products/convert_x_to_dvd/ it does a great job..... very fast too!
