Hi folks --
I just purchased a brand new LG Super Multi DVD Rewriter and burned a bunch of movies to DVD discs, with Nero 7 (came with the new drive). The problem is that some of the movies play fine on my LG LDA-730 standalone player, and others go out of sync a little bit into the flic.
I've seen in other boards people talking about Nero 7 being the problem. Funny thing is when I take the same disc that was out of sync on the LDA and slap it into my pc, the movie plays fine. When I was using an earlier version of Nero this was still happening.
I've read so much about this problem and it seems that no one is in agreement as to what the actual issue is.
Can anyone provide some info? I'd be forever grateful.

RailheaD - We are missing a very important piece of information. Which of these 2 are you doing?
1) You are using Nero to burn DVDs that are already in DVD format (VIDEO_TS directory, VOB and IFO files, etc.) and are NOT using Nero to convert anything.
2) You are using Nero to convert files, perhaps AVI files, to DVD format and then burning those to disc.
If #2, you should understand that Nero is a very poor conversion tool and can cause this kind of problem. ConvertXtoDVD is highly regarded by many here and apparently easy for inexperienced users to use, which would be why you might use Nero to begin with. Nero is very easy to use, but it's not very good.
There are various technical reasons why your DVDs will go out of sync on a DVD player, but let's just simply say that PCs are more forgiving than DVD players are.
-
If what you are doing is the third alternative - copying AVI files as data to DVD. The program which encoded these files to AVI is the likely offender in screwing up the sync.
There is no way for Nero or any other burning program to screw it up if all you are doing is copying the avi files to DVD.
Alternatively your player may not have proper support for this format.
-
Whatever the problem is you are not causing it by burning the DVD.
Either the original source to create the AVI was screwed up (common in the US when people capture from Comcast Digital cable).
The program which created the AVI lost sync.
Or
Your player loses sync. You might try another player.
I don't think you can remedy this without re-encoding the AVIs.
-
Players have bugs. They are not using the identical codecs to your PC. They are using "equivalent" codecs.
Nothing is absolute and equal.
Testing on your PC is meaningless - your software player may be more tolerant of encoding errors. Your player may be less tolerant or buggy. The avi file can be correct or incorrect.
There's a lot of almost working in this technology.

RailheaD - Download the free Gspot program and examine your AVI files for VBR MP3 audio. I'll bet that you will find that everyone of your problem files has VBR MP3 audio.
The fix is that you have demux the audio stream. VirtualDubMod lets you save the audio stream as WAV. You can convert that to CBR MP3 and remux that back into the video, removing the VBR audio stream, and hopefully the new file will play without problems. VBR MP3 audio is a problem for many DVD players that play Divx. I wish VBR MP3 had never been invented because it has very little practical use (the space savings it designed to produce are negligible and becoming more and more pointless in today's world of increasing cheap storage) and all it does is cause problems.

Install koepis xvid codec.
Select Yes that you want to rewrite the header to cbr.
Select audio->full compression, file->save wav to make a new wav.
Select the new wav as audio source, Audio->wav source
Select audio->compression and choose mp3 compression
Select video->direct stream copy.
And last file->save as avi to make a new avi with mp3 cbr audio.
I think I have seen some simple ffmpeg or mencoder scripts that does this in one step but can't remember where.

Go forth and experiment
Hope that helps,

My explanation is for virtualdub and jims for virtualdubmod.

BTW, it didn't ask the yes or no question on startup this time. And I did install the new Xvid codec as you suggested.
