my movie is burned to two 80min disk. Disk 1 starts to play fine. Good-looking picture, Good sound quality just love it. Towards the end of the movie it start getting very blotchy and hang up. eject disk, put disk back into player, movie starts over again. Always the same and this same problem has happen to other movies. Am I doing something wrong??? I follow the newbie guide step by step am i missing something...

Sounds like burning issue. How did you burn the discs (prog, speed, media - 80min,90min,99min)? Does your DVD player support?

Hi Abond,
Thanks for your reply to my post. I use FireBurner v2.1.7 to burn my disc at a speed of x4. The media type is always TDK,80 min. My tabletop DVD player is a Sanyo DWM-370. It don't say that it plays vcd or svcd anywhere on it but onc you load a disc in it, The disply window show what type of disc is installed (vcd or svcd) once the movie starts, I get a beautiful picture along with sound. I will try to burn a new disc at the slower speed to see what happens and get back to you. Thanks for your help and if you have anyother ideas please let me know :confused:

Abond,
I gave your idea of burning issues a quick test to see if that was the problem. I reburned the same movie at different speeds (1-16)and the end results was still the same (patchy,blotchy,or squares) can I have a setting that need to be changed ?

Some people use Fireburner, but it is not officially recommended. Data corruption is common.
Well, this sentence is from a sticky "DVD2SVCD Quick Guide and FAQ" thread at "DVD2SVCD Basic Topics" forum. Please read this forum and Doom9 guide for more information. IMO it is obvious what you must change...
I would suggest CDRDao with VCDEasy.

perhaps your sanyo player isn't too happy with 80 min discs. is think you should try to make a movie using 74 min discs and see if the problem remains.
