Ok so I have few movies that started their lives as seedy .avi files that came from origins not liked by the MPAA. I burned them to discs last year and I?ll admit...although they didn't look crystal clear they still looked pretty darn good on my trusty old (CRT) normal 27 inch & 32 inch TVs.

I also have back-ups of movies I own, that needed to be backed up so my kids didn't destroy them. They always looked fantastic on my old CRT TVs as well.

I had burned these movies exclusively on verbatim single layer discs with great results. I never had a complaint?.till now.

I just got a PS3 for my birthday from my wife, and used my stimulus check to get a good 32 inch HD LCD TV. Everything looks great since I use hdmi connections and run 1080I & P (depending on the programming) HDTV channels look great, PS3 games and interface look awesome, Blu-Ray and SD-DVD still looks great. However when I go to play any of those back-ups, or former .avi file movies (basically ANYTHING I have ever burned on single layer disc) They look horrid on the new TV. Pixilated or fuzzy.

Is this typical for single layer discs to have poor picture quality on HDTV?s?or is it the PS3 at fault? Maybe this is Sony?s way of making sure people buy movies, by making burnt ones look terrible?

Either way I?m trying to ratchet down the culprit to why my burnt movies look amazingly bad all the sudden. So I?m asking is it the media or the player?

There's nothing wrong with single layer discs.
That's what most of us use. Don't forget it's digital data,
assuming the data made it onto the disk properly, playback errors
in the playback device usually cause picture breakup and/or freezes
and skips. Try using an alternate player with the new TV. and check the
result.
Use CD speed to check the quality of the disk itself:
