DVD Freeze

[jfazrh]

Dear Experts I've split 8.84 MB/2 hrs 28 min of video tape into 3 equal videoclips and saved them on my harddisk. They all run without problems with Ulead Movie Maker, Ulead Video Studion and windwows Media Player. However upon burning them on DVD without apparent problems they all freeze after approx 4 minutes and return to start when running on external DVD players. I've tried 4 different DVD player at least but show the same results with all of them.

I can't figure out what's wrong and would appreciate support from the experts. It's driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance.

One quick question first. After you burn the disks, how do they play from the DVD on your PC? The reason I ask is that depending on the speed that you burn the disk, many settop DVD players will exhibit the exact same issue you are describing. You DVD drive in your PC will usually not see the problem, primarily because it is reading something that it wrote. I would recommend that you burn a disk at the slowest speed possible and try it on your settop DVD player and see if that resolves your issue.

You can search through the forum on DVD burning speed and find numerous threads about this topic.

Good Luck.
