DVD problem - copied movie "laggs up"

[barefax]

I am a newbie at this stuff - this is the first dvd movie I have burned so please keep that in mind before using confusing techno talk that I wont understand (but any help is appreciated)

Here is the problem: The copied movie plays great on my standalone dvd player, but it had problems when I try to play it on my computer's dvd player. It starts off great, but as soon as I try to fast forward or rewind, it takes forever to scan the disc - and I just get a black image on my player. Also, if I let it paly for about 10 minutes, it 'laggs up' and tries to rescan the disc again.

By "rescan" (dont know if that is the correct term) i mean the player turns black, and I can hear the dvd drive scanning it nonstop - as if it's trying to catch up but cant read it fast enough.

The longest I have let this "re-scan" is 4 minutes, and then I just ejected the disc. I have tried on PowerDVD and Winmedia player and always get the same thing.

I have played store bought movies on this drive no problem, and even burned regular files onto dvd's before. I am only getting this problem with the actual copy of the dvd movie - so this makes me think that it is some sort of software issue/setting, not hardware.

Here are the steps I did to make a copy, hopefully someone can see a step I missed that might correct this problem.

- Used DVD shrink to Deep Analysis the disc.
- Selected "no compression" (it all fit on 1 dvd)
- backed up by making a .iso
- burned it with nero by selecting "burn image to disc" (at 4x speed)

edit: here are my system specs:

P4 2.6 ghz
1 gig ram
GEforce FX 5200 vid card
120 gig hard drive (lots of free space)

Hi there,
What blank media are you using? Could just be a bad burn, possibly due to crap media (see www.nomorecoasters.com). Can you give the media code not just the brand

DVD indentifier gave me this info:

Ritek Corp.
RITEKG05

(interesting note: the label on the DVD is Maxell )

From the site, it lists Ritek under 2ND CLASS MEDIA

Do you think it's worth trying to reburn it into a better disk? If yes, can I copy the disk I already have, or should I copy from the original?

One other thing, if it fits on one DVD you don't need to do the "Deep Analysis" on the disc.

Interesting, thanks
