Jerkiness, different players, different media,diffrent bitr.

Hi all

I have a question which seems hard to solve easily. I have been having some small stutter problems with my DVD's. I know this had been discussed before but I can't find a solution.

What I have been doing is for example author my own copy of the Two Towers. The movieclips were taken from MPEG2 SVCD format and run through TMPGEnc using SSRC to upgrade to 48kHz. Bitrate was set to 3000 for all four clips. Movies were then joined and demuxed. These were authored in DVDMaestro who accepted all assets.

Movie tested fine on sporadic parts in computer. When tested on my Philips 752 player it hung in two or three places. Picture frooze and then the movie stopped. You could pass by the freeze point to next chapter and then rewind to just about were it hung and movie played along right only to hang a couple of chapters later.

Tested movie on dad's Philips 962 and it worked much better but had stuttering in places were the 752 had not, although it never hung at all.

The movie was authored without any menues etc.

I tried another movie, James Bond which was burned on two different medias, Verbatim and MMORE. Slight stuttering on a PS2 and fine on Philips 952. No difference at all between the medias. MMORE was $3 and Verbatim $6.

What am I possible doing wrong, I ran everything through TMPGEnc and followed the tutorials on Doom9.org to the point (menues excluded). Subtitle sync was perfect on both NTSC and PAL authored movies.

I mean, yes this can obviously be player related. Like old firmware. But how come that every DVD I ever rented (lots) NEVER had any stuttering at all? There must be something I am not doing right. Help me track it down.

regards

Kris

A burned disk is not nearly as reflective as a pressed disk.

What DVD are you doing? PAL or NTSC? If NTSC make sure you select NON-interlace or progressive, Filed order A
Pal interlace and Filed order B

This may solve your problem

I always used the default setting in TMPGEnc for that. For NTSC DVD it is Non-Interlace, field B and for PAL Interlace, field B.

So you mean that that little setting field B on NTSC could have screwed up everything? If so I will have to try another movie
