Hi. I am extremely new to all of this. I recently bought a DVD burner and video creating software. I have no trouble capturing, editing, rendering to MP2 or building the dvd. The problem is that the dvd's I create play very well on my computer, but are blurry and "vibrating" on my DVD player. Any advice as to what the problem could be or what to do about it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like a problem with your player or the media you are using.

I have tried the DVD's on several players. They all react the same. What do you mean by media?

I mean the brand of DVD-/+R you are using. I've had discs play in one of my players not the other, I've had discs play in my player and not my pc. Turned out it was the media.

Interesting. I am using Fujifilm DVD+RW. Any suggestions as to a good brand? Also...it couldn't have anything to do with the burner's speed could it? It writes DVD-R at 2.4X. Is that too slow? What about space on my hard drive? I have 19GB available.

My burner is a Pioneer DVR104. It uses - media. I don't have any experience with + media, but I thought I read that it wasn't compatable with most DVD players. As far as your speed, I burn at 1x it takes about 50min but there aren't any errors. The size of your hard drive would have no bearing on the burning process. You have plenty of space to hold a movie or two since each is generaly 7G or so.

I've used Memorex, Fujifilm, TDK, Princo and some REAL cheapies. I've had a movie not play on one Princo and when burned a second time on another Princo it played fine. So there are a lot of variables. If the movie plays on your pc and plays in your player but not correctly, and you've played other burned discs on your player, I would guess bad media. Happens all the time.

Well thank you very much! You have been very helpful. I feel beter already. I was about to throw the whole thing out into the snow. Have a good evening. I am sure that I will be back with more questions since I am technologically impaired. I will go to Best Buy tomorrow and get some DVD- media. It's worth a try. Thanks again!

Quick follow-up...My burner is a Verbatim DVD+ producer. Do I have to use DVD+ media or could I use DVD- media? Does it make a difference? Man, I hope this stuff gets easier.

If your burner is made to burn + media then you can't use - media. Good Luck!

Thanks, again. If I can't get it to work with different media, I may take it back and get a DVD- burner.

I think I may have discovered my problem. My video capturing device is high speed and I do not have any high speed USB ports on my system. Does that sound plausible? If so...where do I go from here?

But you said the disc plays fine on your pc? If the problem was in the original video capture to your hd, then why it play correctly at all?

Good point. Can you plug in a high speed USB cord to a non high speed USB port? I guess so. Oh well. It was something to think about.I will try different media before I jump to wil conclusions. Thanks.

Tservo, this isn't helpful but if you do throw it out can u throw it in my direction PLEEEASE!

However I agree with menmaddi.
Why don't u check out vcdhelp.com's dvd player compatibilty lists, and see if they play '+' dvd's. maybe they don't.

Thanks for the input, Baabaa. All help is appreciated. I am going to try different media and I am going to try to slow down my burning speed and see if that helps. A guy in a computer shop by me suggested that. Who knows...it may work. I am just trying to learn the ins and outs.

your burning speed will be dependant on your actual media you use , if your dvd media is
1X speed thats all that your dvd burner will work at :0)

I'm back. It still doesn't seem to be working. I installed a high speed 2.0 USB yesterday just to see if it helped. Now, as I watch the video capture and the rendering process, I can see the lines that are turning up on my finished DVD. It seems as if it is capturing and rendering the images too slowly. The system requires a minimum hard drive speed of 5400 RPM but recommends 7200 RPM. Could my hard drive speed be too slow? How do I find out what my hard drive speed is? All of the other info about the computer is on the side of the CPU, but the hard drive speed seems to be conspicuously absent. Any ideas? Thanks.

P.S. When I am setting up to render the video to MP2, there is a drop down menu for Sample Rate. I assume that is the rate at which the frames are transferred. It is set at 48000, but I have other, slower options. Could this have anything to do with my problem? I hate to be a pain. Sorry.

What is source video rate at?

Crap in = Crap out.

Ie. top video rate in(5mb/s) you can achieve (5mb/s out) or re-encode to a lower bitrate (4mb/s).

u cannot improve the other way round unless u have shithot editing software(never done).#
Ie 1mb/s to 5mb/s will make it worse!

How do I know what my rate is? Like I said, I am so new to all of this that I am green. Does the rate have to do with the VCR? The tape I am using was recorded in SLP mode. I am using a Phillips Magnavox 4-head stereo VCR. My capture device is a dazzle DVC 150. I am using the red, white and yellow cables to connect the VCR to the capture device because it is not s-video capable. I hope this helps. I truly appreciateall of the help. Again...I am sorry if I am an idiot.

Ok. I think I have determined that it is not my burner. I went to the Dazzle website and looked around on their forum and tons of people are having the same problem that I am. I think I'll take back this Dazzle garbage. Can anybody suggest a good video capture method/device and some quality DVD creating/burning software?
