So F*ing frustrated! HELP!

I keep re-ripping my copy of "the Fast and the Furious" and re-encoding it with TMPEGEnc.

It plays beautifully in my file player, and everything is perfectly synched.

Then, I go burn it to a DVD, and when I play it in my DVD player (which has worked fine for every media I have tried and every rip I have ever done) it is choppy and the audio is totally out of synch.

I used Apple DVD-R and again, the MPEG2 file is perfect when I play it off the HD.

Where am I going wrong?

Why would you re-encode w/ Tmpeg? I don't use a DVD-R writer personally, but i've heard that you can just rip the vobs with a program like Smartripper and then just burn directly to a dvd-r.

Anyone know a program that can burn vobs directly to dvd-r?

Problem with ripping then burning is that many DVDs are dual layer (9GB) and DVD burners use single layer discs (4.7GB)...

I too backed up my copy of Fast and Furious...

I ripped the files with smartripper, encoded with TMPGnc (resulting in a 4GB MPEG-2 file) and used SpruceUp to author. And burned with Nero. No problems with playback on PC or my GE-1101 set top player...

I'll try using nero instead of Ulead, but I just don't get why the file looks and sounds okay when I preview it in Ulead.
