DVD Burned work in pc not in DVD player

[jcc]

Sorry for my english,

I have converted an AVI to DVD.
I have used FFMPEGX and presets DVD
Authorising with Sizzle and burning with Disk utilities of Panther
I have burned an DVD+R
This DVD work very good in PC, MAC, but not work in my dvd player Philips Q50.
In the dvd player, video and audio is perfect, but the reading is ok few seconds, stop and rewind few seconds and repeat.
After more minutes, no audio.
Help me?

Possibly your player does not like mp2 audio. Use A-pack to create ac3 audio and reauthor with Sizzle. I will include ac3 support in a forthcoming version of ffmpegX.

Are you sure?

A DVD+R created with my holidays videos (imported with Imovie and encoded by Idvd) is perfect on the PC, MAC and DVD Player Philips Q50
Only the AVI file (DIVX) converted with FFMPEGX and Sizzle, burned with Utility Disk of Panther do'nt operate perfectly.
I can't understand it and especially i don't know what to do.

Idvd doesn't use mp2 audio, it uses PCM audio.

I had the same problem and took his advice, and it created a playable MiniDVD, however it didn't create the AC3 Audio stream. After reading the on-line docs, discovered ffmpeg could only handle AC3 so I recompressed, and now it's just hanging here.

The progress window currently says...

Encoding started on Mon Feb 16 14:50:20 CST 2004

Now I'm just waiting here twittling my thumbs. My hard drive is doing nothing, the progress meter is still saying 0% and it's been over an hour on this 5 minute music video.

If IDVD uses PCM Audio, can I just passthrough the stream on my original DV file and avoid all this hassle? I don't care if the audio is compressed, it actually might be better.

also, can I add multiple channels like commentary and such on supplemental tracks?

Thanks.
