Sony DVD player (DVP-S530D) freezes when playing a DVD-R

[hungl99]

I used DVD-Shrink 2.3 to convert a video from a original DVD Hong Kong movie. Then I used Nero-Rom 6.0 to burn the video to DVD-R using the same method in the forum (choose DVD-UDF, UDF 1.02...). I can play the burned DVD-R on my regular (not the DVD burner, just the regular DVD drive) computer DVD drive without any problem. However, I can't play that DVD on my stand alone DVD player Sony DVP-S530D. It plays the copyright message, the Dolby trade mark then freeze or stopped (even I press play or stop or whatever) at what supposed to be the DVD menu. I burned 4 DVD using the same method and don't have any playback problem. The DVDs can be played in both computer DVD drive and stand alone DVD player. Any ideas, suggestions appreciated! Thanks.

Sounds like a media problem.

Try a good quality Ritek disk and make sure your Standalone is capable of playing dvdr's
