DVD freezing on playback

[gatamig]

Hi guys
Try this one. When I burn movies the playback on my standalone player keeps freezing after about 5 mins of playing. The freezing only lasts about a second a time but it drives you crazy when you try to watch a movie.
I am using Nerovision to decode and burn these and I have got an NEC 2500 burner burning Verbatim -R 2X discs. My DVD player is a venturer which seems to play almost anything including other peoples burnt DVDs. The discs have been tried on other players and they seem fine. Is there any way I can change any settings or recording methods to rectify this prob. One of the threads suggests you reduce the recording bit rate but nero vision seems to be automatic with no way of changing the settings.
I would realy appreciate any help you can offer.
May I also take this oppertunity to thank everyone for a great web site ETC its great for us newbies to share all your knowledge.
Thanks a lot guys.

This really is a pain, and as they play fine doesn't indicate the usal culprit; bad media.
I had a Wharfedale M5 DVD player, cost me £150 a couple of years ago and stutters all the time, yet my recently aquired cheapy £40 player plays everything, no problems.
I know this isn't helping but sometimes it's not down to your 'production' methods.
If you're backing DVD's (you don't say what your content is) try a different program, DVD Shrink for example, and limit the final size to 4200mb, just in case.
Good luck

I had a venturer that would do the same thing. They're pretty crappy players.
