Jerky miniDVD playback

[adoniscik]

I created a miniDVD onto a CD/RW from a video I edited. I found the playback on my cheap DVD writer very jerky. Why is this? The video is around 6Mbps and the audio is 448 kbps (AC3).

I assume it plays fine when you play it from your harddisk? Then I guess your drive just can't read the CD-RW fast enough.

It plays better on the computer; the jerkiness is intermittent, rather than extensive. Is this typical of miniDVDs?
