    new at burning dvd's and i got most of the basics down. But i am having a a problem with somethings. It seems that if i have a avi(xvid) that is encoded with the mpeg layer 3 format and i convert to dvd it wont play right in my dvd player. Audio is choppy and video is jittery. But if i have a avi (xvid) encoded with the ac3 and i convert it to dvd it plays fine.

    It seemslike the dvd player will only play ac3 format or am i doing something wrong?
    ANyone know what could be the problem and how could i fix it?

    I use both formats quite often without any problem. So it can just be a compatibility issue on your set-up. The bottom line is: Use what works for you.
    Happy DVD encoding!
