The camera is a Sony HDR-CX900. I need to stay rather vanilla with the disk, the audience are seniors with all kinds of DVD players. My 80 year old sister teaches Tai Chi and this would be for her students, not commercial.

what output format should I set on my Sony camcorder to obtain the best quality possible on a DVD. I have a running thread on my problems but this is the information I need for the next shoot. Thanks

My laptop is indeed underpowered. My desktop is 5 or 6 years old but was a good game player at the time. I have not installed PD13 on it but I will. I will produce a MPEG-2 720x480 video and try again.
Can anyone recommend a good primer on creating a high quality DVD from camera through burning with PD13? For the next disk, thanks.

Bringing this up to date. Slower burning did not help. Bought a new different brand burner, no help.
I recorded a new piece of video and created a disk on the laptop and on my desk top, using Power2go on both. Both still created the exact tearing on this DVD player.
On my desktop I then used Windows Media DVD burner after converting to WMV format. That created a disk that played.
I have tried twice to create a disk on PD13 using the WMV setting and a dual layer disk. It rendered for hours then I got an error, twice.
For now I am hoping to ignore the glitch on this one brand of player, but I need a long term solution as we have another teaching session to edit and burn.
As a last resort I may have to buy a MacBook and go with their software. Not having any luck with PD13 burned out after many days and sleepless nights.

One more thing, I have tried making a video with the file and then created a disk with the same result.

Thanks for the ideas, I have tried both - and + disks with the same result. My laptop does not have an internal drive so I use a USB drive. I will reduce the burn speed and see what comes about. Thanks again and I will return with the results.

Hello,
I am trying to get a project in PD 13 to play on all DVD players. I used the seemingly default settings and it works fine on my laptop, desk top and my sister's SONY portable player. Not so on her low end players. At 35 seconds into the program, it looks like it loses tracking in analog terms. Tearing and audio loss for around one second. Then later on during the 53 minute program it will show up again at specific timing. I have used the full unedited clip to make another DVD. The timing stays the same, so it is not tied to the video itself.
original video recorded on a Sony camcorder. H.264 AVC, bit rate 21.76 Mbps, 1920-1080, 29.97, High Profile, interlaced, Dolby Digital, stereo.
I originally created disk at:
DVD-Video, 16:9, MPEG-2, HQ Best Quality, Dolby Digital.
Bad at 35 seconds. I produced a video at same values then burned it, same problem.
i have been trying for three days to find a combination that works with no success and have gone brain dead on this issue.
the burner is Samsung Portable DVD Writer SE-218. PD13 have the latest patch. To reiterate the DVD plays fine on most players.
Help! John

The first thing I did this morning was redo Jeff's suggestion. After reading your reply I went back and found one of the hardware checks enabled. Clicked it off and finished the video part of the project. This laptop was purchased for this project and I will not use it for another.
Thanks again for the prompt help...John

Sadly, problem is back after saving and exiting program. DXDIAG included.

Whew, I updated win 10 and have it back. She is an 80 year old tai chi instructor and did not want to redo it. Again, thanks for the quick replays that put me on the path.

In the timeline. I am updating Windows 10, the laptop came with it. If video still doesn't run I will post the DX dialog, thank you for the quick response.

Rank newbie here. Last fall I ran a project that was put on hold. I returned to it today to finish and publish a DVD. On my timeline the video shows up, but when I run it the video is just a green screen with audio. I am an old phart just helping my sister out and have a 80 minute video that would be horrible to redo.
thanks...John
