    Hi There Everybody-

    I am having problems playing back a home made DVD in my DVD player. I made a movie with 7 chapters and each chapter is 10 to 15 min in length. the first 3 to 4 chapters work fine, but when playing the others, it gets really choppy and the sound comes and goes. When I watch each of the files on the computer, they all play fine. So my thinking is the problem is from when I burn to the disk. I am using Nero burning software and the files are in .avi format. The transcoding and burn process seams to be fine and I have gotten no errors. So I am lost on what can be the problem. Any advise would be very helpful. Thanks for looking.

    Sincerely- Doug Ward

    I've always had quality issues when encoding with Nero.

    You can convert the avi using ConvertXtoDVD.

    Or DVDFlick (freeware), but I've always preferred ConvertXtoDVD.

    Then burn it with IMGburn.

    Make sure to booktype it to DVD-ROM when burning, but everything should be explained in those guides. Just read it step by step.

    Good Luck.

    ImgBurn does not do any kind of authoring, just records to disc.

    What kind of DVD are you burning? A DVD backup,a copy, or making a DVD from different video files?
