help... video freeze on standalone any guess???

[Floydscruffy]

I am having trouble when authoring DVDs.

All videos that Ive authored at some point freeze, some only once during playback and recently five times in one video. Following things I tried.

Discarded media and burning software issues because of the following:
- My "backups" have all worked.
- Burned same authored video on two different media types and they pause or freeze in the exact same place.
- Use same software "nero" to burn backups or authored software and as I said backups work perfectly.

Definetly it could be part of the encoding or authoring process.

I tried to scan the source file for bad frames and it tells me there are no bad frames.

Therefore there could be some trouble during the encoding or the authoring software.

I use TMPGenc to encode to M2V and I author using Rejig (NTSC).

Does anyone know if ther is a way to scan a whole authored DVD and or fixing it before burning it???? or scan the M2v and wav or AC3 file before authoring??

Is there an authoring tool that is easy to use and allow subtitles???, that doesnt cost much. I like TMPgenc DVD author because of the easy menus but it doesnt do subtitles???

Re-encode with a lower bitrate.

thanks Ill give it a shot, but my last video had a 3500 bps bitrate and still does that. Ill give it try and burn on -rw disk

Well, encoded the video at lower bitrates but the problem continued.

Think I solved the problem if anyones cares or has the same problem:

Scannig for bad frames always told me that there were no bad frames, although for some reason I reencoded the whole video and kept the previous audio file (AC3) and the problem persisted as well, figured out that the problem was the audio file, ran it through bslice (ac3 fixer) and used it through and it seems to be working fine .
