  1. I recently made a dvd by taking several SVCD and XVID video clips and putting them through TMPEGEnc.
    For audio I set it to uncompressed

    then I used ifoedit to put it together into VOB files.
    I the burned it to a DVD-R disc

    The problem is that when i play it on my dvd player, it looks great, but then suddenly the sound will go out of sync and/or it will get choppy. I have to pause and start it again, then the sync is good. but then the problem comes back after a few min.

    Any ideas on what I can do to fix this problem?

    If you start the playback and it goes out of sync, then pause the playback and then when you restart it it's OK, it doesn't sound like the issue is the DVD. It sounds like it's the player.

    Try making one with compressed audio like MPEG 1 (Layer 2) or AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio. See if it does the same thing.

  3. hmm, well, it plays all my other dvds fine.
    just not the ones I make.

    any idea what the cause could be.
    it is kinda a cheap dvd player so could it be my bitrate?
    or the 4x dvd-r?

    The commercial DVDs all use compressed audio. Almost everyone on this board uses compressed audio. Nobody uses LPCM anymore unless it's a last resort or their player is so hopelessly old that LPCM is the only thing that'll work on it. Why did you pick uncompressed audio?

    I didnt feel like waiting for it to compress and I had plenty of space left.
    Do you think this is the cause of the problem?

    I'm just trying to figure out why my DVD player has trouble playing my discs (choppy, out of sync)
    I donno if the bit rate is too high or maybe it can't handle 4X discs or something else.

    Enrico,
    It could be one of those, sure. With media you never know if it's going to be good or not until you try it. Even the top-rated media has some coasters.

    I would try repeating it with compressed audio. The audio is such a small part of the overall DVD it shouldn't add that much time to create the files. Also, if you can, also try a different brand of media. If you don't have any, they just repeat with the different audio format.

    Let us know what happens.
