What's the DVDeal? All is great before the burn>Then CRAP

[Zaxxon26]

I have tried all kind of things to get media on to DVD but to no avail.
I have used VideoPack and then Ulead MovFactory and Nero. Always the same time on VCR twelveO'clock twelveO'clock twelveO'clock.

No really...OK . I used TMPGenc to conv avi to MPEG-2.
MPEG-2 OK
Used VideoPack to author and burn DVD-RW = CRAP Choppy out of sync.

Take OK Mpeg-2 and author and burn with (Burn Update Applied) Ulead MovFac to DVD-RW
More choppy unsync crap

Ok..Now Author with Ulead to create TS_Video
Play TS_Vid with WinDVD off of HDD = Sweet, looks great.I am psyked!
Burn TS_Vid to DVD-RW with Nero 5582= Instant crap again

OK.. maybe it's the RW media.
I take a big $10 gulp and burn it to DVD-R
Picture is smooth but again with the audio, total loss, absolute crap
The TS_vid plays perfectly off the Hard drive so I guess it's the burn process???
I am downing the Nero 5599 and will try again on RW.
Oh yeah, I am using a Pioneer A04 (1.20 Firm) on a twin 1.7Ghz P4 win2K

Advice?

Well, Nero 5599 did the same thing. Now I am out of ideas.

Do the same disks play smoothly on your PC (in a software DVD player)?

[Zaxxon26]

I haven't gone to a set top DVD player yet.
So, no they don't play smooth on PC.
TS_Vid only plays smooth off the hard drive, before the burn.

Thanks for the reply

When you burn it with Nero, do you Write and Verify? Is the Verify good?

Can you burn data files to the A03 and access them?

I have a Pioneer A04 and use MovieFactory all the time.

[Zaxxon26]

I have not tried the Verify. I'll check that out.

I have sucessfully burned data to dvd and been able to use it.

Should I be using the Disk lock tabs in the DVD-R tray when burning?

I was just trying out DVDit and HOLY shiz!!
I told it to create a dvd out of one 600Mb mpeg2 and it said it wouldn't fit on the 4G DVD!?!? Something aint jive'

I wish this could be as easy as vcd's,
"Any thing worth having..." right!!

UPDATE!!

I am feeling pretty dumb.

I turns out it wasn't a burn problem at all, it was a playback problem.
I took my burned dvd to a different machine and it played fine.
So i reinstalled the snd driver and reinstalled WinDVD and BLAM
Works like a champ.
I was fooled cause WinDVD played fine off the HDD.
I am pretty sure the software player that came off of "Baseketball" DVD caused all the trouble. I thinhk it was the Interactual player

Live and learn
THanks for your help bros.
