I used the slow motion effect from Windows Movie Maker on a video in AVI, then encoded it to MPEG2. When I burned the sequence with Ulead Video Studio SE 9 and play the disc, on my $30 DVD player the video hangs for a second or two as the slow motion sequence starts. I put this sequence on two different discs and it hangs the same on both, so its not the burn. The DVD-ROM drive on my PC doesn't hang but has a split second of visible trouble reading it. It reads fine on my Sony standalone DVD player, though.
Any idea what's causing the hang and how I can get rid of it? If it only happens on cheap DVD players should I even care? Would creating a disc image first and then burning a DVD at a slower speed, 4x instead of 8x, help?
Also, when I encoded the slow motion sequence to MPEG2 on my PC it looked fine, but after it's burned to DVD it comes across very blocky. The "don't re-encode video that is DVD standard" box is checked in my authoring program, but it looks like it still re-encodes it and it comes out funny looking. How can I get around this?
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.

Thanks for replying.
I think I may have set the quality/speed dial to 100%. Do you think if I moved it down to 70% that could help?
* EDIT: I see where the bit rate is set at "Variable 6000 kbps." Should I lower that to 5500 or 5000? This is VHS video I'm using. -
DVD allows for up to 9800 kbps for video, and combined with audio up to 10800 kbps. However some players struggle with higher bitrates, so high 8000's is usually safer.
I would use a bitrate viewer to check the bitrate of your video for spikes at the point where it has problems. 6000 should not give you any problems.Read my blog here.

I'm wondering if it isn't because the video goes from black to a flash of white before the slow motion starts, and it's adjusting from no info to a lot of info quickly? Maybe if I used a lighter black so the jump in bitrate wasn't so dramatic?
