Pioneer Player

[vkyf]

I have authored many mpg to dvd by the v2.1 and NOT playing good on a Pioneer DVD Player. (Playing good in PC though) The picture and sound shows up and freeze for a minute. Then it keep on search on next song, show up and freeze again once a while and repeat that until going thru all the songs. I found that it may need to use the option Pan & Scan for playing in a Pioneer Player (Player also need to use Pan & Scan). I am wondering should I re-author everything from the original files or I can use the result files which already turned into _S2D.mpg? But the problem persists if I use the processed files to do the re-authoring. Would that be something other than Pan & Scan?

What are the details of the original mpeg files? Dimensions, audio, mpeg 1 or mpeg 2? Can you attach your log file of a run which produces such a DVD?

The original mpeg files mostly mpeg1 352x240 NTSC, some are mpeg1 video 352x288 PAL, and mpeg2 video 352x240 NTSC, and also mpeg1 352x240 NTSC (Film). I first processed by the v1.5 w/ pan&scan to have the dual-audio ready so that all audio settings are converted into 2-channel mp2 48k 224kbps mp2/48Khz 224kbp (Most of them are karaokes so I need Dual-Audio). They then processed by v2.1 w/ pan&scan also and converted into 352x240 NTSC. They were playing good on machine other than Pioneer. And I have tried nero7's "Make Your Own DVD-Video" and it was doing good on the pioneer players, except it cannot keep the dual-audio feature converted by your v1.5 program. Log file is too long, can I email to you? Thank you1

Well you can zip it and attach it here...

Quick question: Are you mixing PAL/NTSC/MPEG2 & MPEG1 in the same VTS? If so, i suspect that is the issue... At the very least PAL and NTSC need to be in different VTSs.

[vkyf]

Yes, originally are mixing them together. But I have set the program to convert PAL to NTSC so the result video would most be NTSC mpeg1 and the converted one would be NTSC mpeg2. Would that be matter on mixing mpeg1 and mpeg2? But at least they all NTSC eventually.
