DVDIT PE question

[MCD]

I just made my first dvd. Here is my problem. I captured through studio 7 via firewire. The movie was 1 hr long. I encoded with tmpg at 6000 cbr audio was 48000 at 384. The results were great. However I authored with DVDIT pe which I thought worked great. The audio output options are pcm or dolby. I chose pcm because the dolby would only allow 224 kbs (not sure why). I then burned the disk right from DVDIT. Now here is where the problem lies. I made it so the movie plays right away. My main menu consisted of a play button and a chapters button. I only made 3 chapters. I did the little test in DVDIT and all the functions worked great. After I burned, I loaded the disk on my sony dvp ns715p player. The movies plays perfect for 45 mins. Then all of a sudden the screen starts freezing, chopping, colors blinking all over. Now my question is what could possibly happend to make it go all haywire. It was working just perfect. I did notice that when I select chapter 1 and 2 it works great. But when I select chapter 3 it hangs for a second then starts playing but very choppy. So I was lead to beleive the third chapter or near the end of the 2nd chapter is where the problem lies. Please help, I just got this cpu 2 days ago in high hopes of making dvds. By the way the cpu is 2.8 1556 ram with matishita dvdr. Maybe I need to use a different authoring tool like moviefactory which is what I am trying next. Maybe its becaused I used pcm audio. Maybe I just need to burn with nero? Please help!!

Ok I just tried to author with movie factory and the same thing happens. Around the 45 min mark in the movie it starts getting choppy and pixelized and then eventually locks up. It plays flawlessly up to that part. Nobody has any suggestions????

To isolate the problem, you need the test the full disc image (or the newly burned disc) on your computer, not just the preview in the authoring program. Often, the disc is the problem -- many players don't play all discs very well. Or maybe something went wrong with the muxing. You'll need to do some more tests to find out if the problem is in the player, the disc, or the authoring.
