I have recently been putting avi, mpeg, divx, xvid, etc. files on to a dvd in a data dvd format to play on my stand alone dvd player and I can just view them as files and play them. Now, most/some of the video files will run smooth and fine, but others will be real stuttery or jolty, although not really skipping though, just very un-smooth. Now all the files that are running bad, they run just fine when I view them on my PC, but once in my stand alone DVD player, they have the stutteriness mentioned above. Any ideas? Is there a reason that this would happen and is there a way to fix it? Thanks for any help.
Could be burn speed or media. If this applies, try 4x or 1/2 the rated speed of the media is a good rule. For media, Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim or any made in Japan. Here's a guide to look over: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
Sounds like a codec issue. Download G Spot and open your file in it. It will show whether you have it or which you need but that only applies if video won't show on your pc. Maybe, check your DVD player or TV settings. A repost of that issue should return more replies; I'm only guessing.
