Some of my DVD's , using VS10+, after burning standard video, stop at some point during playback and cannot be read further or fast fowarded past that point.
Has anyone experienced this?
DVD freezes during playback

Yes.
I was tempted to leave the reply at this point since it answers your question
But I assume there is an implied "what can I do about it?" or perhaps "why does it happen?" asked as well. So...
In my case, I just reburnt the video onto another DVD blank and the problem "went away" (I always create .iso images even when I expect to only create one copy - that way if this happens to me I don't have to redo the project).
What is the quality of your DVD blanks? Have a look at http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm. Poor quality DVD blanks can cause this problem. But I have experienced the same problem with "1st quality" media as well (as defined by the referenced url) but just a re-burn fixed the problem.
I make it standard practice now to do a "fast forward" through every DVD I produce just to make sure there are no "sticky" points like you have experienced.
Hope this helps

Apart from disc compatibility, there are a variety of other possible reasons. One of the common ones is that you burned at too high a speed. We usually recommend that you burn at no higher than 4x, even if you are using a 16x disc (and the computer allows a 4x burn with such discs. If it doesn't, then choose the slowest speed allowed by the computer). A slow burn means the digital signal has more time to embed firmly into the 'grooves' of the DVD. This in turn means that a greater number and variety of DVD player lasers will be able to read it.
There is also the simple fact that stand-alone DVD players are not actually required to play DVDs burned at home. The commercial DVDs you buy or rent are not burned, but pressed. So some home players, particularly those which are brand-named and expensive (and which I call the fussy end of the market) are very finicky about what they will play. Apart from the burn speed issues, some prefer particular brands, some don't like the colour of the dye used on other brands. And some just don't like home-burned discs, period.
But first off, try burning at a slower speed. And if that fails, try changing your brand of disc.

dvd pauses or skips
I have used video studio for many years and thankfully had very few problems with burning dvds. Since I upgraded to VS10+, I have been getting reports from the people that I made the dvds for that they will not play in their (even relatively new) dvd players. I tried a lot of tweaks and was not able to burn a working dvd for one client. I then tried dropping back to VS9 and found that all the compatability issues disappeared. I must add though that I have VS9 on an older HP media center and VS10 on a newer dual core HP so it may something in the systems. I just replaced the dvd writer on my older media center with a new lite scribe LG drive and I am still having success with compatability.
