dvd plays fine on computer but not on dvd player

dont know if this is the right place to post this but im having a problem i recently d/led a few avi converted them to dvd burnt them and when i play them in any dvd player at about 5 min into the movie it starts clipping (almost like a pause frame advance type thing)i fast forward through it it plays fine for awhile then does it again does this throughout movie but when i put the disc into my computer it plays fine with no clipping any advice or links to posts that correct this would be great
ps ive tried changing burn speed to lower speed and it still does it programs im using are winavi video converter v8.0 and nero v6.6.0.14 also use vcdgear v3.56 (for bin/cue files)my out for winavi is ncts
Thx in advance

 

the main reason for pixelation, freezing, clipping, and can't play in player is the media that you used. Use MIJs (made in Japan) disks. Taiyo Yuden is the best...... or just buy Verbatim which is the exception to the MIJ rule! But don't buy the made in India Verbatims! Check label on box or spindle! You won't get any pixelations, freezing, skipping clipping or any of that crappy media syndrome! here is a media guide for you..... it's not the greatest but it's seems to be one of the best guides out there: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
I just don't agree with their standings on TDK media! I think it's second rate to third rate at best! but I agree with all other FIRST CLASS RATINGS. Using the best will actually save you money.... because as you can see you have to burn all over again and waisted your money on crappy media that won't last. here are other reasons why some burns won't play in DVD players:

1. burning speeds: burn at 4x so there will be less writing errors (rule of thumb is to burn at half the rated speed of the disk--8X disk burn at 4x).
2. read manual for your stand alone player and use the disks that will play in your player. If your player is less than 2 yrs old then it should play the + or - R disks! I said SHOULD that's why you read the manual.
3. try booktyping your drive to DVd-ROM so it will make your +R disks more compatible to players. Read this:

4. make sure that there are no finger prints or scratches on your disk that make it hard for the player to read the disk!
5. use good quality media (rule of thumb....buy the ones that are Made in Japan.) Verbatim is a top notch disk and is the only exception to this rule....some Verbatims are made in Taiwan and they are top notch!
6. and don't burn too close to the outer edge of the disk ..... which will make the disk unreadable! but using good media you will be able to burn close to the edge better than lesser quality media. Just in case I only burn no closer than 4400MB, so if you can set your programs to that, all the better!

follow these little tips of the trade and you'll have better success! good luck.

I've also found this to happen. If your AVI files were ripped from PAL source, the DVD player can't comprehend the frame rate, even if you encoded to DVD using NTSC. A lot of progs don't utilize DGPulldown which convert AVI to compliant 29.97fps. I can almost guarantee Nero and WinAVI aren't doing that for you. Get the trial of ConvertXtoDVD and encode the file to DVD. It will be watermarked, but if it's not displaying the symptoms your previous method did, then your problem was the source/frame rate. Try it out and get back with me. Hope thi helps!

 

IHoe, what program do you use to convert? Also, what site do you order your TY's from? Do you not burn half the speed of your burner rather that the disk itself?

 

@mysabre..... I use ConvertXToDVD and also I use Nero to convert AVIs. I buy my Taiyo Yuden disks from Supermediastore.com, Rima.com, Meritline.com, and or Newegg.com....... take your pick. With Taiyo Yuden disks you can burn half the rated speed of the disk all the way up to it's rated speed. They are that good! But, my burners favor the 8x disks and I burn at 8x! Perfect all the time..... 99.9% successful rate!

 

I have been using DVD Flick and have been pleased with it up till recently. For some reason, the disks have started skipping. I just started using a new pk of Sony DVD-R's. Thought maybe it is the disks, even though that's what I use all the time. So, I started using Nero and the same thing - skipping. I have done a lot of research and Taiyo Yuden are definitely rated high. I phoned a few stores and no one has heard of them. I guess I have to order online. What TY disks do you use?

 

So, I just downloaded ConvertXtoDVD and am wondering what a watermark is.

 

I strictly use 8x, DVD+R, White hub printables (I print directly on the disk!). A watermarks is like a logo put on the final product, like this:

 

But, a watermark doesn't affect the movie itself, does it? It's just that you can see it on the disk.

 

A watermark is an image/text that continuously shows throughout the movie. It's embedded in the video if that helps. It doesn't affect the quality of the movie, just the visibility where the image/text is embedded. Hope that explains it a little better.

 

thanks dizzy......

 

thanks to all who have replied and dizzyduck a huge thanks to you my problem was winavi used convertxtodvd and it fixed it winavi sux imo also for the others that get the watermarks just d/l full program from any p2p site thats what i did and i get no watermarks i dont care to much for the trial type versions too many restrictions and again thanks to all

 

I wouldn't boast about pirating software from P2P!~

 

Thank you everyone for your help. I don't understand why anyone would want a watermark running through their movie. But, I guess it's a trial version and then, if you like it, you can buy the full version.

 

Help. Im kinda going through the same problem with my dvd playing on the computer after ive burned it but when I put it into the dvd player it doesnt play. I've tried my portable dvd player and my xbox360 and no response from either.
Ive been converting from avi to dvd using WinAvi dvd converter and then I've tried a couple different programs to burn them. I think it might have something to do with my fps but Im too new to really know why and how to fix it. help please
