screen is jerky at times with DVD-R on A160 DVD player

[zzviper]

I have ripped a few movies and played them on my A160 and all ok but half way through the movie the screen starts to get jerky and pixils go into squares ect.. I have moved my dvd player out from my entertainment unit where it is a lot cooler and this has helped but still does it... does not do it on originals at all.... anyone got any ideas..

Thanks

I had this trouble with VCDs when I first started out; the film would be alright for the first 35-40 minutes, but then would go into the state that you describe.

This was cured when I burned the VCD at a lower speed.

Hope this helps.

Burning at lower speed is usually not an option with DVDR
But changing brand of media is.
Symptoms, You describe are very typical with cheap/incompatible media. Some types have jerkyness at the beginning too. (Very cheap) media may varry from patch to patch too, but safest way is choosing another brand.
