DVD Playback problems
I just shot a school concert and it turned out pretty good. All edited in Premiere pro 2, DVD authored in Encore 2 output to Taiyo Yuden 16X rated discs burned at 8X.
Problem I am having is about 25% of the people say the DVD's skip in their players :( I tested 50% of them in three different players and they all played without a problem. The DVD's that skip on these other players work fine on my players and most others. Any idea what could be causing this? |

What is the bit rate of the video and the audio streams? And did you apply stick on labels?

Info from Encore for DVD Build was the following: DV High Quality 4MB VBR 2 pass Audio was 192kbps 48Mhz Should I be using 7MB+ CBR for better compatibility? The quality from above settings is perfect. |

Your data rate looks okay (though I think you meant 48KHz), but might try burning the discs at a slower rate. The higher the burn speed, the more likely the discs will play in only a few decks. Higher-speed-rated discs have a different reflectivity, too. Also, were these DVD-R or DVD+R's?

i have two sony dvd-r burners that both had bad lasers... one of 'em started failing gradually, with the same symptoms you mentioned... it was a nightmare to troubleshoot.
if your dvd is on an external hdd, you might try taking the hdd to another computer to burn, something that doesn't have a sony burner... it would eliminate some possible issues. btw, i guess that your audio format is ac3? that is definitely the way to go for best compatibility. |
