DVD-LAB Pro authored DVDs freeze when you Fastforward or rewind

[faramith]

All the DVDs ive made with this software will fastforward only in x2 and it freezes if you FF x4+ or rewind, tried it in different DVD players, anyone knows why this happens?

thanks

I have authored dozens of discs with DVD Lab Pro and have never had this problem. In instances where it has been reported, the cause has always been poor quality video source, often from dubious encoders.

How are you encoding your video, and with what ?

[faramith]

Ive made over 50 DVDs with DVD lab pro, they all freeze on several DVD players when I FF or RW. Only my APEX HT-150 dvd player can FF and RW them. Ive used many different encoded files.

AVI to MPEG2 using Video Studio 10
Ive used Ripped .VOB videos from dozens of DVDs Directly
I also tried .VOBs also converted using VOB2MPEG2 and same problem occurs

so its not an issue of video quality theres something else thats screwing these up.

What about the DVD-R media you're using? Poor-quality media could certainly cause this problem if the player is having trouble reading the data reliably from the disc...

Ive used a range of different DVD-R media, TDK, Verbatim "MCC02RG20", memorex, TY, etc, same problem with all kinds of media.

I used Sonic DVDit one time, using same video files, and media, the DVD played excelent in all DVD players, FF and RW flawlessly, only bad thing about this is that this software re-encoded the audio and "Normalized" the volume and it created audio errors in the dvd so i decided to use DVD-LAB pro, since then the DVDs are perfect with the exception of the FF and RW issue

Check sequence headers...
See:

I think this problem is independent from the authoring application if no reencoding step is involved...

i've experienced the problem and recall that it went away when i switched from using type I DVavi to type II DVavi as my source.

may be worth checking.

[guns1inger]

Type 1 and Type 2 DV avi are irrelevant here, as DVD Lab Pro doesn't accept avi files. It has to do with the source mpeg video material, or possibly bad audio tracks.

I've been reading in different forums that there is an issue with DLP 2.x (concerning FF/Rewind), and I understand they are working on the problem.

I haven't seen the issue on my home DVD Players, but others have (will depend on your make/model dvd player).
