Hi ppl,

Firstly, the information on these forums has proved invaluable and hopefully someone can help me with this one. I am posting here since although technically it is a playback problem, I am thinking it may be a problem at the authoring stage!

The problem I have is that when I author and burn my DVD+RW using DVDWS2 (trial), the DVD, when played back in a DVD player jerks to the next scene or delays for a few seconds. In some cases, it goes back to the start. The actual scene itself plays fine and smooth. I have tried two brands of DVD+RW and tested it on three brands/models of DVD players and they all exhibit the same problem. Could it be the media? Do I need to do anything to the video? I am capturing using Vegas Video Lite and notice that the last frame of a scene is the first frame of the next. Is this OK or do I need to lop it off? I am burning the scenes in the order they were captured and am using each scene as a start point (i.e. I'm not choosing any start points within a scene). The scenes range in length from less than a minute to many minutes.

I have converted my MPEGs using TMPGEnc. I have had a friend process three scenes using Procoder but they seem to do the same thing.

The scene are converted at an average bit-rate (about 6000) and using 224kb compressed audio.

At first I thought it might be DVDWS but tried another freeware authoring tool and had the same problem again. I'm using DVD+RW to save on coasters (which I would be generating like crazy with this problem).

Any ideas? Thanks for your time!
