Burning VIDEO to DVD/R

[theboar]

Hi People, I've new to this forum, so here goes...
I've been burning Videos onto DVD for about a year now but i've had the same problem each and every time i try to burn, i'm not sure why it's taken me so long to ask for help, but here i am anyways!
My problem is this; Every time i burn a video (that i've downloaded) onto dvd (whether it be a Mpg, Iso, Avi...anything at all!), When I try and play the dvd on my home dvd-player I only get a viewable dvd video for about 20 minutes, afther which, the video becomes distorted, choppy, blurry, unaudible and unviewable. This has happend to every DVD i've ever tried to burn!!! The funny thing is, when i play the disc in my computer, everything works just fine, it seems that im only unable to watch the dvd's in my home dvd-player. I've tried playing them if different dvd players to see if mine was broken, but the others had the same problem.
Now, I've been using Nero 7 for the last while, so i tried to use a different kinds of software that i read about in other forums, however they did no better. I've also tried using different discs (DVD-R, DVD+R), but nothing.
I dont know what it is. Is it a problem with the encoding, my dvd burner, or just me!? Can someone pleeeez help!!

I am loathe to respond because the enlarged type is almost as obnoxious as all capitals.

You give no details as to your process - tools, steps, source etc., or the media you use. Without that information, no real help can be given.

So try this. Download the free DivxtoDVD. Use it on one avi file. Don't try for menus or anything fancy, just one file converted to the DVD Video format. Then burn the Video_TS folder contents using the DVD Video template in Nero.

Report back with results, and details of the media you used.
