Skiping/Stuttering Problem

[FaKToR]

When I playback videos I've burned they have stuttering/skipping problems, but it's only some videos. The video will play, but very very slowly, stopping and starting both audio and video. These are videos that have been ripped and then compressed into container formats, and the problem applies to more than one video encoder (that is I'm getting this with both divx and xvid for example) and different audio encoders, but it's only some videos. Also I've successfully burned videos that used the same audio/video codecs for compression before.

1. Author .avi with DVD Flick and imageburn into an .ISO
2. Burn with Deep Burner to DVD+R

I tried using the microsoft encoder to convert both the audio and the video to windows audio/video and then encode the resulting video using DVD flick but that coaster didn't even play the video, it just had a black background with some weird mark in the top center of the screen.

To clarify my problem is not a hardware one. I've used the exact same software and hardware to successfully burn compressed content numerous times. For the life of me I can't figure out why some of it skips and I'm running out of ideas as to what I can do to the file to remedy the problem. It seems to be a GIGO problem, but I'm not sure why this is occurring.

Create a ISO using your normal method, burn it see if it stutters, then playback the iso on the pc and see if it exhibits the same issues.

I forgot to mention it doesn't stutter when the burned dvds are played back on my computer.

Hi!1. Author .avi with DVD Flick and imageburn into an .ISO
2. Burn with Deep Burner to DVD+RA few points:

1) Since you're burning a disc, there is nothing to be gained by creating an .ISO image of the DVD "package" (.IFOs, .BUPs, and .VOBs)

2) Since you have it , you can use IMGBurn (I presume this is what you mean, as opposed to the much older "Imageburn") to burn your DVD (still no need to create an .ISO image). there's no need to switch to "Deep Burner"

3) After you've used DVD Flick to create the DVD "package" on your hard drive, PLAY it (as "DVD", NOT as individual .VOBs). If it plays properly, your problem is in the burning - either the burner itself (may need to be cleaned), burning at too high a speed, and/or using poor quality burnable media.I forgot to mention it doesn't stutter when the burned dvds are played back on my computer.That would ONLY eliminate the burner itself as the cause of the problem - your problem then is likely related to media quality and/or burn speed vis-avis your standalone player.



These are videos that have been ripped and then compressed into container formatsIf, as I presume, they were ripped from DVDs, you'd get FAR better results just making backups of your original DVDs, rather than trying to create DVDs from various ansd sundry compressed formats...

How many stand alone DVD player's have you tried it in?

May I suggest you to try AVStoDVD instead of DVD Flick to convert AVI to DVD?

The main reason is that DVD Flick uses DVDAuthor package to create DVD structure (which is known to be sometimes a stuttering generator), instead AVStoDVD uses MuxMan, which is maybe the best authoring programs around.

Ah, AVStoDVD lets you to burn directly your DVD, using ImgBurn.

Hi!Ah, AVStoDVD lets you to burn directly your DVD, using ImgBurn.And DVD Flick also has this same capability.

Additionally, the OP stated that burned DVDs don't stutter when played back on his/her computer...

Hi setarip_old,

you are right. IMO a try to AVStoDVD should exclude that the problem is caused by the software.

I don't see how, he has already stated that it happens with different software!

[MrC]

I don't see how, he has already stated that it happens with different software!

He said he used different encoders and different source videos (divx and xvid). But he did not say he used different authoring sofwares. He said he uses DVD Flick which implements DVDAuthor package.

Since it is well known that DVDAuthor sometimes causes stuttering, and MuxMan not, IMO a try to another all-in-one AVI->DVD programs that uses MuxMan (like AVStoDVD or FAVC) should be given. But is only my 2 cents...

Fair enough, i have used DVD Flick to create atleast 50 dvd's and never experienced stutter, i also used DVDAuthor + mencoder before i knew about DVDFlick and never experienced said issues......
