I need help here, I have been trying to figure this crap out and I just cant seem to get the job done. I can't get a DVD not to skip, no matter what player (i have used windvd and theater tek) or card ( a asus 7600, or a 6800 gt). I have this set up in a media center PC silverstone box, and run the Video and Audio through a Sony A/V receiver that outputs the signal in 1080i. I know the receiver is not the problem, because the desktop does not flicker, only dvd/video file playback. The skip is not like a scratch disc skip, but more like the system is slogged down and can't handle the playback. The PC is a AMD 64 X2 with 2 gb of ram, and it's a brand new install on MCE rollup 2. I have tried uninstalling the dvd players, the sound card (which is a b-enspire sound card with S/PDIF out) drivers, and totally new connections (like switching between HDMI, DVI, and Composite connections). I have no idea why it is doing this, this is my first problem with a PC with DVD playback. Any thoughts on the problem, please help me out ASAP.
Try using a different dvd burner and make sure you are using good media ie tdk or verbatim , I had a similiar problem with a lg burner and cheap disks , now use a sony burner and problem only happens rarely when I am using el cheapo disks
1. Use latest DVD Fab, I think its the Beta One.
2. Load in the DVD
3. Select Movie Only
4. Uncheck Subpicture content (so u wont get subtitles)
5. Use DVD 5 Pulldown
6. Start
7. It will then prompt u and insert a blank DVD after 30-35 min
8. It will burn at 4x by default so thats good
-This method worked because it did not burn too the edge of the Disc.
-Also it burned at 4x
-Use DVD-R Vertab Blanks (Good Quality, Purple Label)
And now your drawbacks: U will not get a Menu, Chapters, Etc.
but you will get good quality picture.
