[macho271]

Hi!

I finally got the dvdwriter to work and burned the dvd+r I had! And when I tested them on my standalone dvdplayer the did not work properly..
They lagged abit in the meny, and stopped for some seconds..
And when I tried to change the subtitles in the menu the dvd just freezed...
Any suggestions?

I have this dvd player - http://www.samsung.com/Products/DVDPlayer/technicalinfo/index.htm
is says it can play dvd+r

Without knowing any trivial information such as what programs you used for ripping, encoding, authoring, etc

Buy the DVD!!

Samsung are pretty good at playing most anything you throw at 'em.

Whose media are you using (Media ID as denoted by DVDInfoPro or DVDIndentifier.

I used CopyToDvd to burn the dvd and dvdshrink to compress it.. But the dvd works fine on my dvdplayer in the computer..

the MediaID code for that dvdr. use DVDInfo Pro (freeware).

how/what is the setup for your backup process. What media brand are you using. Have you tried to slow the burn speed down to 1x? Does that give you better results.

Ok, I now read the FAQ.. But, "thats write" dvd+r's wasten on that list..
Anyway..
Not tried 1x though, but I only have a 2,4x burner so dont think thats the problem...

This is what i got from the info...

The reason I suggested writing at 1x (the slowest speed), the result would help tell you what the overall problem is.

If the dvdr burned and played just fine, my next statement would be that there is a good chance that your hard drive needs to be defragged and that you should do burns from a non OS drive (ie dont burn from your C drive).

If the dvdr doesnt burn right, then there is a good chance that something is up with the media and or the burner.

What did you use to burn the DVD??? If you are using dvddhrink to compress the movie, try and use dvddecrypter to do the burn. See if that helps.

Come on guys the obvious reason for all his problems is cheap media,buy a better brand and it will fix your problem.
