Ok, here is what I got
Sony DRU-510A
Veritas DVD Burning software (came with dvd burner)
various forms of Media > Imation, Memorex, and Sonic <<All 4x I Believe
I am sending out some independent work I have done and burned to DVD's to various parts of the country.
I can watch the DVD all the way through on my computer and not have a problem, and also on an X-Box console
Someone called today and said he watched it and it started skipping around and then it eventually just stopped playing and locked up his player
Now I tried the same thing today, and sure enough it started to skip around. and even locked up once.
I took it out and put it back in and had no problems for now.
What could be casuing this? He said he tried it in several different players (including computers) and had the same results.
What do you think could be causing this?
Could it be a wide spread issue?
Another person said her Sony DVD Player reported it as a "dirty or scratched disc" and would not play it at all.

Did you apply a label to any of these discs? Applying a CD/DVD label to a DVD-R will cause some imbalance which will result in skipping and freezing.

Now, most of the copies I have watched here play OK. Of course they are WITHOUT labels.
But the one i tried today WITHOUT a label demonstrated the same symptoms the one person told me they had today.
So maybe it's not the label that is the problem
It just seems weird that it plays alright sometimes, and NOT alright other times.
So, i am doing to stray away from the label idea. But bases on the fact that I had one without a label do the same thing, what do you think?
Thanks so much for the input. I am putting all my thouhts down here to try and make sense of it all
IF I were to NOT put labels on them in the future, how could I decorate the fronts of the DVD's? -
Either it's bad media, or the authoring program (never heard of an authoring program causing this) - or, it could be the labels.
My money is on bad media.
Imation, Memorex, and SonicICBM target coordinates:
26° 14' 10.16"N -- 80° 16' 0.91"W -
I have seen labels cause these types of problems. There is a very thin clear type of label that works well for labeling...but I just use a black sharpie.
For the record I think you are dealing with a media issue.

Buy some RitekG04 media. I bet that solves your problem. -

I have that same drive and I can tell you that your media is causing the problem.
if you burn at 4x on memorex disks, the video will skip and become pixelated. if you continue to burn with those disks, then try to slow down your burn speed to 1x or 2x. -
If your computer's DVD drive can read these DVD discs without any issues (which appears to be the case from what you wrote) then simply use DVD Decrypter to "rip" an ISO IMAGE FILE to your HDD then write that back out to another disc.
Try Taiyo-Yuden DVD-R discs. They are the highest quality you can get ... better than Ritek G04 blanks.
You can buy Taiyo-Yuden DVD-R discs direct from some on-line stores or you can find them in retail stores (at least in the USA) under the FUJI brand name (but only the FUJI packs labeled MADE IN JAPAN ... some FUJI packs say MADE IN TAIWAN and those are NOT Taiyo-Yuden brand).
Since it appears to be a MEDIA issue you might as well use the BEST media there is because IF you STILL have the same problem ... then you know it can't possibly be the MEDIA.

Just out of curiosity, why would an ISO IMAGE FILE be better than the AUDIO/VIDEO TS Folders? I have no problem with either, but just wondering.

If you just copied the VIDEO_TS folder from the DVD to the HDD then you couldn't use DVD Decrypter to burn unless you make an ISO IMAGE FILE first with ImgTools and that doesn't make any sense.
