    i used convertxtodvd to burn a movie on a dvd+r rw disc and i played it on my dvd player and it said not ntsc so its pretty obvious what the problem is i switched the settings on the convertxtodvd program from pal to ntsc but im wondering is that all i need to do to make this work on my dvd player or is there something else to do.

    Hi there,

    Well this is the most common problem for several people.

    Make sure to set your output to DVD5 so it will fit on a DVD-R / DVD+R.

    Selected the menu options that you wish.

    Auto Start / Sequential Playback / Auto Loop

    Use quality media and don't burn at MAX speed.

    Those are the basic rules !

    Enjoy...

    Hi there,

    Several media these days are 12x / 16x certified.

    Burning at MAX speed will burn then at those speeds.

    Several people agree that a slower burn will produce better copy, and less change of playback issues liek skipping / freezing etc...

    Some will say burn 1/2 the certified speed, so butn 16x media at x, and 8x media at 4x.

    I personally burn everything at 4x, and use "Taiyo Yuden" media, probably some of the best media out there.

    Verbatim are also top notch quality, Maxell [bold]DVD-R made in Japan[/bold] are pretty good.

    Any media with a media id like CMC Mag = elto crapo media :)

    You can find the media id in a burn log, or with tools like VSO Inspector, DVDInfoPro, DVD Identifier !

    Hi again,

    It's all a matter of personal choice.

    Some other users in here might tell you, burn at MAX, you will not have a problem.

    Some will tell you, I burn Memorex 16x media at MAX

    Ohhhh my god :)

    I read a whole bunch of forums, I tried several things, and like I said earlier, I have decided to buy Taiyo Yuden media, nothing else, and burn at 4x :)

    UHH you were right about not setting the burn speed to max just that mine freezes and i put it at 4x and it still froze my max speed is 6x should i just set it at the lowest speed or is there something else that i should be doing to prevent wasting more dvds on frozen movies..?
