DVD sticking when played in some DVD player

I burned a 1:20 min.DVD (twice) using different brand names; Phillips 8x and LG 8x, each time it plays it jerks & sticks. I usually use Verbatim 8x as I see recommended and get good results but lately I have not been able to get Verbatim in 8x where I live here in Jamaica. I am thinking of ordering down some DVD-R from the USA.
(1) I see where the DVD-R Taiyo Yuden are highly recommended but they only come as slow as 8x. Do you think they will work with with my burner? Or should I order the Verbatim that comes in 4x?
(2) Would Compressor help with this plaguing problem?

The burner is PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104.
HELP!! I have some very important work outstanding
Awaiting your knowledgeable advice.

Just to give you a tip.
Many of the newer 16X Media works and works very well.
The tip is this. Look at the packaging that the DVD's come in.
They will clearly state that the DVD's will read and write in the newer and the older Optical Drives.
1X,2X,4X,8X,16X.
I personally use 16X DVD-R Maxell
I also prefer to purchase those in 5 pack that inlude the individual Jewel Cases, as they have shown to be of a higher quality then the larger 30-50 and 100 dvd spools.

Save link as option vanished in firefox 17.0.So now not able to download mp3 files.Instead click on mp3 files starts playing in some black player in firefox.
Earlier i was able to download mp3 files by pressing on link for some time and menu popus up "Save link as" but after recent update that option is gone.
That option is desperately needed.
One more thing is MP3 file start playing in black player on firefox when i actually want to download them and then play it.
fix this issue ASAP.

I still have the "Save link as" option in my context menu with FF 17. Maybe something went wrong with the update?

Help! DVD is pixelating when played back on household player

Help please! This is driving me mad...
I searched the archives but couldn't find the answer, and if I don't finish this wedding video by Monday my mate is gonna litterally string me up!
I've cut the project in Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 - exported as a quicktime file and I'm rying to burn it onto DVD using a Lacie external DVD +/- rw double layer drive. I've been trying to do this using toast 6 lite.
The finished product will play back fine on my iBook, and my mate's powerbook, but when I try and play it back through the telly on a normal DVD player it keeps pixelating - almost like a pulse.
Any ideas? Will save a friendship....
I've been using bog standard sony DVDs, and burnt them at 16x. I'm going to give it a bash at 1x as I've heard this might help - but there seem to be two options in toast - 1x and 1xDVD.
Thanks, Paula.

Paula:
You didn't post any information about how you authored/burned your DVD, but this is a general basic workflow:
- From your sequence timeline in FCP select Export > Using Compressot
- In Compressor select the DVD: High quality 90 min preset (or the preset that match your sequence lenght!) and use the MPEG2 preset for your video and the AC3 for your audio.
- Select a destination where to locate your finale files.
- When completed, import thos .m2v and .ac3 files into DVDSP and create a track with them
- You can build your menus or just select that track as First Play and burn your disc.
- You can check this tutorial about Creating Disc Image in DVDSP (from www.kenstone.net site). It's a good procedure for safe burning.
Hope that helps!

Finger sticks when playing games

Does anyone else have a problem with their thumb sticking real bad when playing games that use a directional pad or joystick on screen?
Maybe im the only one but it makes some games almost impossible to play. Any ideas or solutions?

CD skips or sticks when playing in iTunes

Does anyone know a solution to this problem. When using iTunes to play a CD sometimes a song will stick, skip a few seconds, or stop playing and iTunes will stop. When playing the same disc and song with Windows Media Player on the same machine it will play the entire song with no problems. How can this be fixed?

You should ask these question in the DVD Studio Pro forums but:
I always burn the disc as slow as I can
Create a disc image first. Do this in build and format. Once you've encoded the disc image you can use disc utility to burn it at 2 or even 1X
I've pretty much been reduced to buying 16X discs as slower speeds are becoming more difficult to find. I like the Verbatim too, as well as the Tayo Yuden. I have actually had very good results with the TDK white printables but maybe I'm the only one on the planet who has.
Controlling your burn speed may help you out.

Exported avi's flicker between 4:3 and 16:9 when played back in media player etc.

Using premiere pro 1.5 on a windows XP..... never had issues until recently.. always shoot with xl-2 in 24p... when the AVI is exported (microsoft dv avi ntsc, or sometimes 24p advanced) and I watch it in windows media player the video flickers back and forth between widescreen and standard... seems random....sometimes the exported videos will play ok... any ideas what's up? thanks!

hmmmm
when the AVI is exported (microsoft dv avi ntsc, or sometimes 24p advanced) and I watch it in windows media player the video flickers back and forth between widescreen and standard... seems random....sometimes the exported videos will play ok..
dv avi ntsc is 720x480 and it sounds like you have mixed assets in your project...when that flickering happens. 720x480, whether it is 4:3 or 16:9 does not have square pixels..so if some of your assets are based on square pixels you'll get some weird stuff going on ( if your program monitor is set to "fit" it will look OK on timeline maybe, but on export wont ? )...maybe try program monitor at 100% instead and see what stuff looks like before you export...fix the mixed media stuff ? You using still images ? is that what flickers diff size ?
...need more info re: assets in project, export settings
ps. you might try ms avi ( not ms dv avi ) and adjust settings as per your project and try that export instead ( choose same renderer you use in project or lagarith or some lossless codec )

I have created a DVD via iMovie and burned several copies. When played the DVD's will stop and display a message SKIPPING DAMAGED Part. It is not the DVD. When trying to export the project, I get an error message.

Layer disappears when playing from Flash Player

I have a dotted line animation in a layer. It shows up fine
when dropping to IE window but it disappears when playing from
inside Flash Player 7. Maybe it needs a newer version to play it
correctly but it's just a layer with a line in it. The SWF is
created with Flash CS3. Maybe Flash Player 7 comes from Studio 8
that is also on the PC.

I just found that it plays fine on Flash Player 9 which comes
with CS3. Some of the features probably are not compatible with
Player 7.

N8: high definition video slowed when played on PC

Yesterday I shot a 1,5 min film in high definition with my N8 and that's the odd: when played by the N8 player itself it's absolutely ok, when played by (after uploading to) my desktop's WMP, well has a correct audio but a slower than real video, so the audio and the video soon become out of synch and the audio ends , of course, some seconds before the video.
Any idea?
Solved!

Ok, self-reply: it's my Desktop not able to play hd movies correctly. Actualy I tried on a fairly "old" Windows XP Pentium 4 desktop.
Played by mi new win 7 laptop it's ok...
@yunez: no, played by the phone itself the hd movies are smooth
As for youtube, I had youtube streams problem with the google youtube app (the stream was faster than the cache could ) till I set wi-fi power saving on off. Since then, it's all ok.

Yes. You can put all of your personal default settings in the file ~/.mplayer/config. If it doesn't already exist, just create it. On my VDPAU enabled system it looks like this:
[default]
vo=vdpau,xv,
deint=4
hqscaling=9
vc=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,
channels=2
As far as subtitles go, I never use them so I have no idea.

DVD Player won't play some DVDs

My DVD Player won't play certain DVDs. Presumably all commercial DVDs should be playable in the software. Fox discs are a problem. I can get Player to turn on, but after the menu, the screen flashes a reading error, from which it could not recover. Yesterday I tried to play a Paramount disc, and nothing happened. The computer didn't even acknowledge that there was a disc in the tray. A Wolfe Video wouldn't read at first (I got a dialogue box that the disc was blank) but I put it in again and that time it played.
Also, on a side note, I would like future editions of DVD Player to add the feature of allowing the viewer the ability to go backwards a frame at a time, as well as forwards.

Hi, Doug.
This is starting to sound like a different problem. Your original report seemed to apply only to specific DVDs. Now it's with all DVDs. Before we get into how to reinstall DVD player, let's try a few other things that are more likely troublemakers with DVD Player.
1. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
2. Reset DVD Player. Peform all of the following steps before attempting to launch DVD Player again:2.1. Trash the com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist file in your Home > Library > Preferences folder. This file is the preferences file for DVD Player.
2.2. Using Get Info, make sure you are the Owner and have Access of Read & Write on the following folders on your account:• Home > Library > Application Support.
• Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player.
• Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player > Settings.If not, correct the permissions accordingly using the Owner and Access pop-up menus in the Details sub-panel of the Ownership & Permissions panel of the folders' Get Info windows.
2.3. Trash the contents of your Home > Library > Application Support > DVD Player > Settings folder.3. If none of the above sorts it out, let's see what Console can tell us: After the problem occurs, make note of the time, then immediately check the ends of these Console logs for clues that may have been logged when the problem occurred.
4. Note that none of the above rules out the possibility that your optical drive has become defective.4.1. Can you burn DVDs, e.g. even data DVDs from Finder?
4.2. See if the freeware VLC Media Player (nee VideoLan Client) can play the DVDs.Good luck!

DVD not working properly when played on DVD player

I created a DVD using FCP and DVDSP, it plays fine on my Mac and my regular DVD player. However, it plays once through on a TV Guardian DVD Player and then will not play again. I don't know much about these players but they filter foul language and such when playing DVDs. The DVD that I created doesn't have foul language or anything that would be considered objectionable on it.
Has anyone had experience with these types of players or this situation?

Another thing to check is your bitRates and whether you encoded the audio to A.Pack/Dolby. I have often seen machines play once or twice then start having playback issues or not play. It can be related to the encode rates (and it may not behave across different machines the same way, in other words it will continue to play fine on some players and not another)

I'm burning dvd's that won't play on a regular dvd player. What am I doing wrong? Are there some simple things to check to figure this out? (Sorry, I know this has been asked many times)

Hi
Just my thoughts to add to the excellent answers above.
• BRAND of DVD used - Matters when doing Video-DVDs
Memorex, NoName etc cheap brands usually do NOT work
I only Use Verbatim (more organic dye in these)
• Type of DVD - matters
- DVD+/RW - usually results in problems
- DL-DVDs are more problematic than SL-DVDs
- DVD+R are a more modern sort - BUT PLAYS BADLY or not at all on older DVD-players
I only use DVD-R
• BURN SPEED - matters
- Best in iDVD app - IS NOT BEST at all but results in lot's of Burn Errors = Doesn't play well or at all
I set this down to x2 or x4 max.
Yours Bengt W

Audio goes in and out of sync when burned dvd played on standard DVD player

I made a short film recently (7:00 mins) and once completed and burned to DVD using iDVD and DVD Studio Pro about 20% of the clips have out of sync audio. Just slightly out of sync. Some more noticeable than others.
Playing off the timeline syncs perfect, the exported prores 422 mov file syncs perfectly, and if the finished DVD is played on my mac or my pc the sync is perfect, but when played on a standard dvd player to my TV I get the syncing problem, but only at certain points through the film. As I said, about 20% of it. The rest of the film is fine.
Shot on Canon 5d mkII - footage converted to prores 422 1920x1080. Audio recorded on Zoom H4N with some ADR recorded on logic pro. Audio synced manually using clapper board reference. Using a 27'iMac with current OSX update as of 14 March 2011. Edited in FCP 7, exported to proress 422, burned to DVD with current iDVD and DVD Studio Pro, all current versions and updates.
I have tried exporting to mpg4 and mpg2 - no joy. I checked audio bit rates and discovered the logic recorded stuff was 44.1khz as opposed to 48, so I converted to 48 but still no fix.
I am STUMPPED
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Dallas

Should I convert just the clips which are out of sync in the DVD, or all of theclips in the FCP timeline?
If that is the issue, wouldn't I have the problem in the final prores mov as opposed to just when its played dvd to tv?
Ill try it though. Its an odd problem so its likely to have an odd solution. Willing to try anything at this point.
Thank you.
