DV LP mode to dvd problem

LP mode works by foregoing error checking in favour of putting more data in the same space. This may be the cause of your problem. I also wouldn't trust DVD Santa with anything slightly difficult, but that's just a personal feeling about the product. If you are happy with it, fine.

That said, if you can transfer it across to the PC using firewire, it should be ok to work with.

Does the DV avi file play back OK on the PC ?
Does the authored DVD play OK from the HDD ?
Does the burned disk play OK in the PC ?
What media are you using ?

This is absolutely false. The only difference between SP and LP is the spacing of the data on the tape. LP just packs the data tighter on the tape making it less compatible from player to player.

The consumer-oriented DV uses 10 micron tracks in SP recording mode. Newer camcorders offer an LP mode to increase recording times, but the 6.7 micron tracks make tape interchange problematic on DV machines, and prevents LP tapes from being played in DVCAM or DVCPRO VTRs.

But thanks for playing.....

DVCAM uses 15 micron spacing
DV SP uses 10 micron spacing
DV LP uses tighter spacing.

The reason DVCAM uses 15 micron spacing (40 min per 1hr tape) is to assure that a tape can be recorded on a camcorder and played back to a different player without extreme mechanical calibration. There is no difference in the DV signal recorded.

The original assumption for 10 micron consumer DV was the video would be played back on the same transport (camcorder). This was all SONY thinking. Panasonic thought 10 micron was OK for DVCPro.

Sony implies Panasonic was correct. 10 microns works for moving between machines, so LP can be used with tighter track spacing for 90min playback on the same transport.

Sony was overly conservative the first time and over-reacted with LP. LP is risky on the same transport over time and is not that good on a different transport.

If you record LP, transfer it quickly while you can.

yes I am able to play avi file on my pc.
authored dvd not ok
I did not but disk as it the file did not play in pc.

I also tried tmpgenc, video is fine but audio not good.

The LP issue is settled as OK if you can play the transferred DV-AVI file on the PC after transfer.

Next issue is how are you encoding MPeg2 and authoring the DVD.
