DVD not playing properly.

So I have burnt a DVD using iDVD, when I go to play it on a DVD player the video freezes at 8.50 mins (up until then it is perfect)
The video last about 20 mins in total.
Ive tried playing it on a year old Samsung DVD player, a DVD player built in to a small TV and on my MacBook. They all have the same problem.
The discs are: TDK DVD+R 1-16x speed 4.7GB.
Cheers
Matthew

Are you saving the project first as a Disk Image (File ➙ Save as Disk Image) so you can check the encoding process before committing to disc? If the disk image plays satisfactorly in DVD Player then the encoding is good and the prolem lies in the burn process.
If it doesn't play correctly in DVD Player then the source material is suspect and should be looked into. That area is one that one of the iDVD guru's, Bengt Warbely, FShippey, SDMacUser, etc., will need to help you with.

DVDs not playing properly

iMac 17" G5 1.6GHz; 1TB, 2GB; OS 10.5.2, DVD Player 5.0
Playing a DVD through Apple DVD Player 5.0, video stops whilst audio keeps playing, beachball appears, then video skips ahead to link again with audio and beachball disappears again. Then DVD plays again for 1-3 minutes then repeats the problem. DVD Player will not respond during these video-freeze times and computer must be force-restarted. This problem begins at various times from start of DVD.
This has happened with different DVDs playing and even when using an external Firewire DVD drive. Makes me think the problem is with DVD Player itself.
I have just upgraded the hard drive and RAM to max at 1TB and 2GB. This problem started after the upgrade. I used Migration Assistant from the old HD after installing Leopard on the the new HD, installing the Combo 10.5.1 updater, then updating everything else via Software Update. Just did the 10.5.2 Combo updater but no change in symptoms.
I'm thinking a reinstall of Leopard is the way to repair DVD Player?
Any suggestions (especially less labor-intensive) appreciated. Thank you.

Installing and using VLC has solved this.

Why does my Encore DVD not play in Windows Media Player v.11

My DVD's play properly in players and from various other DVD Software but not Windows Media Player v.11. Most people I give my DVD's to view them on business computers, that only have WMP on them. Is there a way to build an Encore DVD that will allow them to play in WMP?

You can always build a Flash "DVD". Other than that you may be looking in the wrong place. Microsoft has neatly avoided any MPEG-2/DVD licensing and merely uses the respective libraries of otehr DVD software on your system, so when no such thing is installed, it never works.

Some DVDs not playing in my iMac, need help!

some orginial / genuine DVDs not playing in my iMac, need help!

Once your husband copied the movies, did he use a burn software to burn them to a DVD? You need to use a burn software to properly encode the footage so it'll play in any DVD player/computer/TV. So, once the movie is copied to your hard drive, you can edit it in iMovie (may need a converter first to get it into a format iMovie can work with such as MPEG Streamclip); after you're done in iMovie, use iDVD if you have it or Roxio Toast to burn it to a DVD.
And for the OP: Regions are different depending on where the movie was made: the US, Europe, etc. The regions are set within DVD player - you insert a DVD and the player reads what region it originated in. Please note you can only change regions 5 x; after the 5th, that setting will remain and can't be changed again.

Songs not playing properly on 3rd gen iPod (click wheel)

I have a large amount of songs on my iTunes and iPod, and I often buy new music (from sources other than iTunes) to add to me collection. After updating my iPod last night to add a new album that I purchased, I noticed today that certain songs on my iPod would not play properly. When they come up in the cue or are selected to play manually, they appear on the screen, stay at "0:00 elapsed" for a second or two, then the iPod simply switches to the next cued song, as if this song has come to an end. If it's the only song in the cue, the iPod reverts to the general Menu screen.
I checked my iTunes to see that the songs were still in my library and that I did not move or delete the source. None of the affected songs had the "This song cannot be found" exclamation point next to them, and they all played fine on my computer through iTunes, but they simply wouldn't work on the iPod. I updated my iPod tonight in hopes that the mistake would correct itself, but nothing's happened.
Since this is a rare problem, I haven't been able to find any FAQs or solutions regarding it. I hope someone has the answer.
Thanks for your time.

I have the exact same thing happening. I just bought the new Foo Fighters album, the songs play on iTunes, but will not play on my iPod. I have updated my iTunes and iPod to try to get it to play with no success. With the iPod in the sourcelist, I can play the songs from the iPod music list, but not once the iPod is undocked from my PC the song titles come up for a brief second then skip to the next song on the album without ever playing any audio. I even tried to delete the album and reload it. Never had this happen with any other songs, artists, etc.

HT1657 I downloaded a film for rental from itunes and it will not play properly,why?

I rented a film last evening The book of Kells and it will not play properly. My computer has more than enough memory or whatever it needs and I am using an account I have used in the past with success. The films starts, then stops, then speeds ahead like it is not successfully loaded. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Where did you download it to and is it a purchase or rental.

Videos not playing properly

Videos recorded in iphone 6 when stored in Z10 are not playing properly. May be because video resolution or settings differ. But this shouldn't be a problem. If all the video formats and resolutions are supported why is it the case. I tried videos of. Mp4 and. Mov formats. Both couldn't be viewed properly. Kindly fix the video application in bb10. Its very annoying. Other videos work fine but videos recorded in other phones specifically iphone doesnt work.

This problem is posted by other but their problem are waste with excuses and it happens every time

Youtube videos do not play properly

I appreciate any suggestions with this problem. I have a Mac G4 laptop (PowerPC) running OS 10.4
Most web videos do not play properly on my computer, especially if they use Adobe Flash Player. (QuickTime videos play fine.)
I have had my internet connections checked by my provider, and the speed is very good, and the configuration is OK, so they do not understand why I am having trouble. When I try to play YouTube videos, I get a slideshow, with a new frame every 2 or 3 seconds. I have tried using my computer on my friend's internet connection, and it has the same problem. My friend can watch the same YouTube video perfectly well on his own computer, even though his download speed is much slower than mine.
I have already tried the following fixes several times:
complete uninstall of old versions of Flash Player
reinstall of the latest version of Flash Player. (My computer does recognize that the player is there, as I said, it just plays the video as a slideshow.)
Repairing permissions and restarting
resetting Safari, manually clearing cache, cookies, etc. (Although I also have the same problem in Firefox)
Downgrading to Flash Player 9
Trashing QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
Trying to trash all DivX files (I don't have any, it turns out)
making sure audio midi settings are for 44.1
trashing the Macromedia preferences folder
None of these things have helped me. Thank you in advance for any other ideas of things to try.

Rogerskth,
Sorry, I wasn't clear. My computer NEVER played flash videos properly, with any version of Flash. Considering that Flash is maxxing out my CPU power (as measured by the Activity Meter) I suppose that slow CPU speed really IS the cause of my problem. Since you have a faster computer, and your computer used to play the videos OK, it seems likely that your problem is SOME OTHER mysterious problem.
Bungee33,
You might be pleased to know that in English we have the same expression as the German which you quoted
"we in Germany say, that a horse given as a present must not be critizised by judging the teeth in the mouth of the animal"
In English, we say "don't look a gift horse in the mouth."

Video portion of Nightwish DVD not playing correctly on Quicktime. It is not a smooth playback. Can I correct this?

Video portion of Nightwish DVD not playing correctly on Quicktime. It is not a smooth playback. A little jerky. Is there an easy slution to the problem?

I worded my question incorrectly. It isn't a DVD I'm having the problem with, it' s a Nightwish concert download form iTunes I am having the video portion of the video that plays not smoothy. Like it is moothing it short little segments, not a steady flow!

I could not find an option to "report a problem".
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

Ringtone not playing properly

I set specific ringtones for several of my contacts & then I went to the Sound Settings in Windows to set my regular ringtone for all other calls. Afer I selected a ring tone for "Phone: Known Caller", the distinctive ringtones for my contacts do not play properly. How can I reset it so that the distinctive ringtones for my contacts play properly?

The only thing I could suggest would be to hard reset and set it up again and see if the problem continues. If you find anything out please post it here.

In my shuffle 4g the songs not playing properly most of the times it gives some kind of sound and stop playing songs.

First, make sure the headphones plug is completely pushed into the headphones jack. Because the jack serves multiple functions, the fit may be tighter than expected (especially if you have the Apple EarPods).
Also, try using the headphones with another device, to rule out bad headphones. Or try another set of (known working) headphones with the shuffle.
Are you using older headphones that have remote control buttons? Not the latest EarPods and not the immediately previous version of white Apple earbuds. Or non-Apple headphones with remote control buttons. It's possible they are not compatible and interfering with the shuffle's operation. Any standard headphones (with no buttons) should work.
If that does not help, you can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to defaut settings. If a software (or settings) problem on the shuffle is the cause, the Restore should fix it.
Otherwise, if the Restore does not help, it may be a hardware problem. If it has been less than one year since purchase, it is under warranty.
