When i attempt to play some video on my dvd player the sound is fine but the video spins horizontally. It is very similar to tracking issues back in the VHS days. The same video plays fine when run on the PC. This happens with about 20% of the downloads I burn to disc.

Any help in explaining this is appreciated.

Do the DVD disks conform to your video standard - i.e. NTSC for North America, PAL for EU.

Drag 'VTS_01_1.VOB' from the 'VIDEO_TS' folder on the disk (or the folder on the hard drive)to 'GSpot' and check.

The actual disk being used is not root problem. Have burned many videos that work from same pack of disks.

I am new to this. I have the same problem. I just started using torrents with utorrent. I burn with nero. Some of the movies play on my DVD player and some won't. I put the disk in and it spins but will never come up. I burn at a slow speed and use sony DVD-r.They all play on my computer. What about G-spot do i need this. Can anyone help. Thanks

Many programs output the same video type as the input - unless you explicitly set the preferences to your part of the world.
Using Nero, your preference for North America would be 'NTSC' - for EU and Australasia it would be 'PAL'.

The image indicates that the DVD file is 'NTSC'.
If it was 'PAL', many North American standalone players will not play it.
On the other hand, in PAL countries - the machines will play both.

My original response was to eliminate one possible source of the problem -the original poster just missed the point.

Old as this thread is, I guess that you should have listened to Attar, and tried different media, or not post your problem at all. Folks like you will always have unresolved problems, because you are too s-t-u-p-i-d to listen.

Even though your media is from the same same spindle, it doesn't mean that some of it can't be bad.

Edited for spelling error.

I was responding to the OP's post, not yours. :wink:

Yours may have been a spyware/malware or virus, from the torrent sites. You failed to say what solved your problem. :wink:
