Project burned, 2 problems though:

[Areku]

Hi!

I'm testing the burned project of two DVD movies into a single DVDR.

So far menu was working fine on both Maestro preview and PowerDVD player...

But when played on standalone (Samsung 611), RIGHT cursor does not respond so I can't higlight PLAY MOVIE 2.

If I press the "2" in my remote, I can play it though. Same thing if I press "|>>" (Jump to next chapter) key.

Why cursors on DVD remote do not work?

Also, when playing each of the movies, movie 1 plays just fine, but movie 2 has some "freezings" (i.e. every x minutes, you get a frozen frame you can notice since the motion stops). This does not make audio to desynch so I don't know what's going on.

Ideas on this one as well?

Thanks!

make sure that you have the button movement associations setup for the menu in maestro, theres even an auto assign navigation button.

im guessing you were just using the mouse to change the hiliting, not the cursor keys when you tested in powerdvd and realtime preview, you should test menu navigation with the provided buttons and/or cursor keys in both.

I can answer the first part but not the second part of your question. The reason why the cursor does not respond is because you didn't assign the up/down/left/right movement for each buttons in Maestro.

Hi auenf, welcome back, SiC ;)

Thanks for the tips guys!

Now, I don't get why the video would freeze temporarily during 1s each x minutes....

CCE overload?

Can any1 provide tips on this?

Thanks!

If you still have the elementary MPEG2 stream that you encoded with CCE, run it thru BitRate viewer and look at the bitrate. There could be a chance that the bitrate jumped too high all of the suddenly that caused your glitches. To correct the problem, you'll need to re-encode and either lower the bitrate on the certain GOP that jumps up or raise the bitrate around that GOP that jumps up so it will gradually go up in bitrate. When you have a sudden bitrate spike of 800kbps to 9800kbps it can cause your video to have glitches.
Oh and to change the bitrate for the specific GOP in CCE, click on the advance button for multipass VBR and move the timeline to the specific GOP where the bitrate jumps up. Then at the lower left where it says "Local bitrate setting" lower the max bitrate.

I looked at the stream again with CCE, and could not find any gray bars not bitrate raising too much, but found lots of those purple lines very close in a short period of time, I don't know if that's the reason...
