Ok..this is driving me nuts. My VCDs end up playing all jerky with major artifacting and a screetching sound coming out of my speakers.

Here's my procedure:

1. Smart Ripper to rip the vob files
2. DVDx to encode the files
3. CDRWIN to burn to disk

I've only used Maxell 4x CDRW to test this out on last night and I get the same crap. Could the media be the culprit here or is it my procedure? BTW, thats the DVDCOPYPLUS method.
