I have a Sony DRU-500A dvd burner and have always been able to burn dvd's fine using DVD-Lab. I have been able to either record stuff from satellite to my pc in avi and then convert it with tmpgenc plus 2.5 and then take that output and burn it with DVD-Lab.

Recently I'm having some problems burning. When burning with DVD-Lab 1.1 it would go through all the steps and compile and show that it will writing the disc, but it would not come up with the little 'done' or 'complete' pop up and then eject the dvd.

When I try to play the dvd in my Sony burner using Power DVD I get some kind of internal error. I can play the dvd on my other pc and in my home dvd player. But on several dvd's after playing for say 30 minutes of so it starts freezes some and hangs up all together. I've updated firmware on my drive and even upgraded DVD-Lab to 1.3 beta and no good.

I'm using Compusa DVD-R 1x brand dvd's and this is what I've been using all along with great results, until recently.

Need suggestions please.

Are there some other good dvd burner programs out there that will burn output from tmpgenc plus?

Thanks!
