DVD authored with TMPGEnc DVD Author issue

[KaRRiLLioN]

I have two DVD's that I'm authoring for friends (their home movies). I am capturing their old VHS tapes with my Dazzle DVCII into MPEG2 DVD.

One of them had several bad spots on the VHS tape, so I went into TMPGEnc DVD Author and edited out some of the bad frames, and removed some other unwanted chunks.

I then authored the DVD and burned it. When I play the DVD on the PC, it seems to work fine all the way through. When I play it on my standalone DVD, there are certain areas that it will get to and just stop and I can hear the player sort of "stuttering" on the DVD. It stops at the same areas each time.

I then burned the DVD onto a completely new DVD (thinking the other one might have a defect). It too played fine in the PC, but on the standalone, it started stuttering again, but in new places.

Is it possible that TMPGenc DVD Author might have botched something in the areas that I edited out? Could that cause this?

The 2nd DVD that I was authoring didn't have as many bad spots, so I didn't really edit much out of it and it seems to work fine all the way through, so I'm just guessing this is the problem, but wanted to see if anyone else was having this problem.

If this is a problem, would the solution be to use another editing tool to remove the offending frames from the original MPEG and then use TMPGEnc DVD Author?

If it stuttering in different places on two dvd's with same files on it I'd say it was media.
How did u burn it ?
If I burn with TDA - wont play on my standalones, I have to use nero.

I don't see how cutting out a bad spot would be any different than normal cutting. So far I never had a problem myself.

Only thing my disks are regularly played on is a norcent dp300, but they work good when they have been takin other places and used on other players, but that's not alot.

Backups I burn with Nero, Self authored I use Tmpgenc DVD Author for both authoring and burning.
