When I burn DVDs of project made from a master project, DVD 1 burns great, DVD 2 and 3 have pixilation every second or so for the entire length of the burned DVDs.

I took a 2 hour 35 minute set of clips and edited them first as one big project. Clip source is from a Canon 6D set at HD-30fps

Then I proceeded to make 3 discs, 1 and 2 are about 1 hour, with disc 3 about 35 minutes. For disc 1 I simply deleted the material for dics 2 and 3, saved as a new project and then burned at a burn speed of 3.0, with folder creation.

Then re-opened the master project and deleted material for Disc 1 and 3 to make Disc 2. I did the same process to make Disc 3.

As each DVD had a lot of subtitles, I then added the subtitles to each of the smaller D-x projects for final. At the end of each step I made a new project called D-1, D-2 and D-3. I then used these D-x projects to burn the DVDs. For D-1 I used the edited master project, but the other two were from their saved project files only.

To burn each disc, other than setting at no menue, changing the DVD name, and resetting the burn speed each time to 3.0, I did Disc 2 and 3 the same as Disc 1. Burn times for D-1 and D-2 were about 1.5 hours, with D-3 at about .75 hour.

For each burn of Disc 2 and 3, PD11 tells me it is deleting the folder made from the previous burn. So I made a new folder location that would not overwrite the D-1 folder, but it made no difference, still got the pixilation.

Throughout I did not start any other programs on the computer, so other than start-up garbage, there were no other programs running.

Disc 1 is perfect, Discs 2 and 3 have pixilation throughout. I shut down and restarted the computer, redid all 3 DVDs and they came out the same. D-1 is great, D-2 and D-3 have the pixilation. With no menu all 3 discs start playing when inserted into both old and new DVD players. With menu it waits until hit play, but still get pixilation on D-2.

D-2 and D-3 look like what I got before when burning at a faster speed of 8.0. But doing all I can to set to 3.0 burn speed, D-2 and D-3 have the pixilation. When the burn is finished, the setting is still at 3.0.

So in order to make a full set of DVDs I Produced D-2 and D-3 with PD11 to a 60p 28Mbps AVI file and used Nero 12 Titatinum to burn to DVD. No pixilation on either D-2 or D-3. And I did not use a menu when I burned them with Nero 12.

Any ideas?
