HI guys,

OK THIS IS URGENT - This DVD for my wife of our last 15 years together has been a labour of love over a long time, finally I have it completed for a Chrissy Pressy for her.

OK, so the DISC settings I use are a custom menu with playback mode selected to start from the first title and play all files sequentially, there is only 1 video for the disc, I selected DVD-Video 16:9, Smart fit 2D disc, it plays fine for the first 10 secs then freezes?

I have rendered to an .MP4 and it plays perfectly.

Guys please help as I have to get this finished today (arrghhhh)

Thanks in advance

Use a different burning software. The free ImgBurn is what I use:

I assume that you mean the created DVD won't play in a standalone dvd player. Try playing it with wmp if you are using win7. VLC also plays dvd. So do a number of media players such as pdvd.

If all the above software players failed, then check Create a folder only. Use vlc, pdvd, etc to see if they can play it from the menu in the folder. If it does then you can use power2go or imgburn to burn to a rewriteable disc at a slow burn speed.

Hope this helps. Merry Xmas to all.

I just played a dvd from the menu using wmp in win7 and again with vlc from the menu, not from the vob files. Maybe the menu is the problem. Do you have the PD13 trial installed at any time. See this link for the answer: http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/41937.page ...

Hey tomas, No unfortunately I did play from the menu also and it works, every 5 to 10 minutes the DVD glitches, I manged to get a workaround of pausing the dvd then unpausing and it continues.....arrghhhh

There are no physical artefacts at all which is the frustraiting bit, it will make a screetch and then freeze, I hit pause, then pause again and it continues, to places in the DVD the audio stops also but the pause and unpause it works again, very frustraiting!!!

Hi,
Sounds like the player buffer isn't big enough and need to catch up and pauses while doing so.
Just a thought.

I'm certainly not an expert, but I've read on this forum where folks have found that their DVD player is the problem. Sometimes it's an old DVD player that can't handle the load, sometimes it's a new, high-end player that is very finicky. Perhaps you could try playing it on a friend's DVD player, or at a store that has DVD players hooked up as demos.... Regards,

I would think your DVD player is toast.

Is it a samsung player by any chance? I have a samsung BD player that I never could get to play my own DVDs or BDs. It behaved pretty much as you describe, locking up after a few seconds of play. I'm currently using that player to prop up my center channel speaker, and that's it

Don't like to be stumped. I can almost always create something that will play on a standalone player unless it's too old, like maybe I have to use a dvd-r or a +r, or slower burn speed, or no menu, or lower bitrate, or a firmware update on the player, etc, unless it's toast like the laser being weak in the player.

I agree with tomasc, don't just blindly buy another DVD player until you've verified that it will play okay in other players. Regards,

That's what I'm thinking. Acts just like a PC program when it's low on memory. Ed Pitts alias jpittssr
