Why Green blocks/distortion

[Bonehead87]

I converted some AVIs to MPEG using DIKO then authored them onto a DVD using TMPGEnc DVD Author everything seemed to be going fine until I played it in my DVD player, there is lots of green blocks and distortiony stuff. When I play the DVD on my computer its fine. Did I do something wrong or is it just my player. My DVD player says it can play MPEGs but it was pretty cheap so I'm hoping I may just need to get a new player? Thanks

I've had this problem before when I used an all-in-one program. My Panasonic DVD players didn't like the DVDs they created.

My solution was to learn how to use TMPGenc to encode my avi files into mpegs. Never had that problem since.

Couple of things maybe:-maybe the player does not like the brand of discs; cheap media/bad batch; maybe you burnt it too quick and the dvd players laser finds it hard to read the data and finally it maybe a smudge/fingerprint or something on the underside of the disc before you burnt the film.

It can also be a codec problem.

Forgive the ignorance because i'm still a relative freshman at this myself even 3 yrs in, but how could it be a codec problem? If it was, wouldn't it all be out of wack, i.e disc and file on HD if it was a codec issue?
He's encoded and burnt to disc yet the problem as only manifested itself on his home dvd player as it plays perfect on his PC (from disc and not HD).

This is more for the want of my further knowledge rather than trying stir up a debate.

Thanks
