Just played one of my created (encoded/burned) DVDs of an animated movie only to find out that within the last 10 or 15 minutes of the movie the DVD player stops, restarts, stops, restarts, stops, restarts over and over and over again. I am also getting that crap thrown up on the screen at the same time. Not an expert here but I am assuming this is what is referred to as pixillation (spelling???). Is there any tool known that can diagnose this problem (and perhaps correct) with an AVI before one goes to the trouble of encoding and burning???

Hey Mr. Taggert...ya want some beans?

That sounds more like bad/incompatible media than anything else. At least if the disk is filled.
If you're not using top quality media, keep below 4.1-4.2 GB to avoid the troublesome outer edge of the disk.

Good chance its the disc, they tend to fail at the end when they do.

My media (I don't skimp) is Taiyo Yuden DVD+R. I have never had a bad one whatsoever. If this is the case then this would be the first. Again, is there a possibility that whatever I encountered is embedded in the original .AVI?? And if so, is there some program that might be able to detect such a thing in a .AVI before one goes to the trouble of encodding + burning.

If the avi is playing fine, and a scan for bad frames (virtualdub) finds nothing, then you are back to the burn or the media.

Another simple check - does it pixelate like this on your HDD before you burn ?
Then again, maybe it is a new type of protection. One that survives ripping and converting, but the waits, like a time bomb, for the next time it is converted back to DVD format. The sneaky bastards.Read my blog here.

Okay...I had the original .AVI on my portable 40 GB USB drive and reprocessed the entire file
from scratch. Burned it, again, on an 8X Taiyo Yuden DVD+R DVD at 8X and ironically, it played
perfectly all the way thru. I guess I have to attribute this to a bad Taiyo Yuden DVD which is the
first I have experienced. Thanks for all the suggestions...I guess it was the disk the whole time
and I would not have determined that if it was not for your help and suggestions...Again my thanks.Hey Mr. Taggert...ya want some beans? -
Various issues have been reported with trying to burn at 16x speed. You don't say what speed you burned your bad discs at. Personally, I don't ever burn DVD at more than 4x, but I am not so impatient that I can't wait for that to finish instead of burning at 8x or higher. Also, I don't advise doing a lot of other tasks on your PC while you burn. Perhaps your earlier burns with problems were done while you were also doing a lot of other jobs on the PC at the same time and this time you left the PC alone while you burned.
