I have an AVI file of a movie, and I converted it to DVD format using WINAVI. I then burnt it to a Sony 4.7GB DVD+R DVD disc using Nero 8, and pop it into my DVD player. The first scene plays perfectly, but then @ the beginning of the second scene, it just starts freezing and breaking up (playing, stopping, playing, stopping) in split seconds.
What is the reason for this? Did I do something wrong? Is it my DVD player?
I ran into a similar problem with a dvd I ripped a while back. I ripped with dvdfab and cleaned/edited the file with vobblanker. The final file size was small enough to fit on a dvd-5 with no compression so I burned the vob files to disk. I soon found out that none of my dvd players liked vob files and started a constant pause/skip routine at a certain point in the movie. I then went back and converted the vob files to a video ts folder using dvd shrink. After that the movie played back with out a hitch (the same thing can be achieved with fixvts as it keeps the file in video ts format).
If you're movie's skipping constantly every few seconds then I would say it's probably a compatibility issue with you're dvd player. I use nero 7 so i really don't know much about nero 8, not sure how to change the burn speed.
Defiantly follow ZoSoIV's advice though; quality media and proper burn speed can solve many playback issues.
Hey I got it to work. It was the DVD player, so i went out to Walmart and bought a "Daenyx" DVD player, which plays CD-R, CD+R, DVD+R, DVD-R, MP3, WMA, and displays photos for only $35.00, which is a pretty good deal. (CANADA)
