SVCD freezes every minute in standalone player!!!

[Celso]

Hi,

i've tried to find the answer myself on loads of forums but really couldn't find anybody with my problem i think so try it like this

I've downloaded these beautiful Imax movies, followed every instruction on this site to convert them to MPeg2...extracted audio with VirtualDub and converted to Mpeg2 with TMPGEnc Plus then i get about 700 to 800 Mb movies (its all 23.**** so NTSC film)

Tried to play them on my computer but get a choppy picture.....(maybe my computer is too full - have 5 GB left of 60 and have 32MB ASUS V7700 deluxe VGA) This card doesn't seem to be too good -

Then burned them with Nero, installed all the updates, have got 5.9.14 now...burned to CD-RW x10 to test in Nero there's the option to try and fit it all on a 80 min CD so that's what i did....bitrate/quality probably goes down a bit so it all fits on one cd

Bring it to my Standalone Philips DVD player...get a beautiful clear picture but it freezes after 30 seconds....continues and then freezes again....Ive seen about ten minutes like this all the same....and the sound well can't tell if its out of sync cos it's all film with voices in the background.....but don't quite know how to say this in english...it has different speeds...sometimes fast sometimes slow

Then I tried to burn it on a CD-R first on 16x same story then I burned it on 1x....it's a Sony Cd-R 700 MB blue....quality shouldn't be too bad....but all have the same problem....my burner is a Plextor 16x10x40

Play well for 30 seconds to a minute then freezes for 2-3 seconds and continues to do the same throughout the film

What am i doing wrong or what can i do to get an SVCD copy on one cd that plays smoothly in my DVD.....I really want to have these films to play on my HDTV and find to quality of simple MPEG1 VCD not good enough to keep

Thanks for anybody's advice

If it plays choppy on your PC it isn't going to play well on your standalone, there must be a problem with your encoding and also chech the original file is OK, remeber crap in crap out

It plays better on the standalone DVD then it does on the computer except that it freezes after 30 secs for about 2 secs....

This non smooth playing on the computer looks the same as it does in games, think my VGA just can't handle it for some reason
