EyeTV recordings burned to DVD

[b-pal]

I have some EyeTV recordings (i.e. 51 min. 1,4 GB) that I want to watch on my television. With Toast I can make a nice DVD (and this goes very quickly), but on my stand-alone DVD-player the images are full of green blocks and green flash-screens. Apparantly my Supervision 2550 is not really capable of playing DVD’s made out of mpeg-files. (The DVD plays well on another stand-alone DVD-player.) I’ve tried (after exporting as mpeg-stream) to drop it on ffmpegx and author it as a DVD. This works fine but it takes very long and I’m not really satisfied about the quality (fast-moving things get a lot of horizontal stripes around them). Any ideas?

e-mac, 1,25 Ghz, 768 MB ram, Mac OS X 10.4.8, EyeTV 2.3.2, Toast 7.1

Sounds like you need another DVD player.

EyeTV streams are pretty compliant and should play with no problem, so re-encoding is unnecessary. If you are getting "horizontal stripes" from an ffmpegX reencode, that sounds like an interlacing issue, which is a whole other can of worms.

If you're committed to your "Supervision 2550" you could try a different brand of DVD-R. Only the best Taiwanese quality from Ritek is my choice. Forget the inferior Communist disks.

I' ve already tried a few different brands. Will order Ritek and see if those work.
I allways use DVD-RW, could that be the problem? Will try a DVD-R tonight, one coaster is'nt that bad.
Thanks.
