A good burning program?

[Buddyboy]

After i authored my DVD in DVD Lab i burned it onto a 4.7GB DVDR. Now when i play it in my DVD player the video shakes a bit every 2-3 seconds. The video plays fine on my computer without shaking. Is there a better program I should be burning with? Or is it my media? (im using e3 works 1x-4x dvdrs)

What media did you use? DVD Player compatability issues?
If you can play it perfectly in your PC then it can be something to do with your player's ability to play that particular disc brand. Play it in another machine and see how that works. Also since I see you used DVD Lab, I assume it is from captured material from a DV cam? If you used another source for your meterial, it may not be compliant or was not processed to the correct DVD specs like proper NTSC DVD res and bit rate? Was the bit rate set very high? Was your source 720x480 NTSC? Other resolution sizes may produce unwanted results. Although it can be made to work.

So many things can cause probelms during play back. WHe youo say that the video shakes a bit every 2-3 seconds, are you talking about jitter. Like when cheap movies try to simmulate an earthwake? Is it a vertical, horizontal or ramdom jitter?

I sugest that you re-burn the DVD files to a different media and see if your player likes it better. DVD-r rataher than +r maybe the most compatible type for set top players but as I suggested earlier, go to your friend's house and try playing it there. If it still acts up then the problem is in the DVD media or the way the disc was authored or burned.

Good luck and let us know how things turn out.

As fas a buring program. I use the latest NERO for burning DVD foldes and DVD Decryter and or Nero for burning from Images or ISOs
