  1. Ok here goes:

    I have a Toshiba SD-2705 DVD Player. It plays VCDs also. I burnt two vcds one night with hopes that i could watch them that night. After i burnt them, i watched the first one. It played fine, until the very end. About one minute before it ended, it started skipping (it would pause for a moment, then play, then a second later it would pause again, then play, etc.). This happened until the very end of the vcd. The second vcd did the same thing at the end, which totally ruins the whole thing. I thought i had bad burns, but two in the same night? I had never had this problem before with any other vcd that i had burnt. I then thought that maybe I had burnt a bad mpg file or something, but when i played the vcd on my computer on gdivx player, it didnt skip. A couple weeks later, I bought Oh Brother Where Art Thou on DVD. Sure enough, it also had the skipping at the end on my DVD player, but it started a couple minutes before the credits and continued through the credits. I played a couple more DVDs in my player, but they didn't skip. I don't have a DVD-rom on my computer so i couldn't try it out.
    So, I have two vcds made from two mpgs that came from the same source, and of the same codec, that skip at the end on the DVD player but don't skip on the computer. I also have one DVD that skips at the end. The question is: is this a problem with the DVD player or my discs?

    If you used original DVD and had problems then it's likely the player.

    Just one other possibility. Are you handling the disks correctly. If you leave some fingerprints on the bottom of the disks then that could cause the laser to misread.

    If you clean them, wipe across the surface with a lint free cloth never follow the circular grooves.
    There's not much to do but then I can't do much anyway.
