I am using X2.
I have completed my first project which plays on each on my two computers and with my Philips DVDR3460 player / recorder.
However the recently purchased LG RH 397D player recorder is unable to complete a single playback. I suffer from broken oudio and video with horizontal bars and then a complete stop with no further progress.
The intention is to send the video overseas to our relatives since it is a record of a birthday party. I do not have enough faith that it will work on their machines. What can I do?
Kind regards,

Re: Variable playback from prepared project
Welcome to the wonderful world of video editing and, more to the point, DVD burning! 
Unfortunately, there is little that you can do to guarantee that your masterpieces will play on everyone's DVD players. Some -- and particularly the higher end brand name ones -- are quite finicky when it comes to home burned DVDs. (Commercial DVDs are produced in quite a different manner -- they are pressed and not burned.) Some don't particular brands of DVDs; some don't like the colour of the dye used on particular batches. Some prefer -R, and others +R. Some (many) don't like home-burned dual layer discs.
One thing that many of us -- though not all -- here find helpful in this situation, though, is to burn your discs fairly slowly. For instance, I use blank Ritek discs which are either 8x or 12x, and with them I always burn at 4x. I have little trouble with the DVDs I have burned when they were played on a variety of DVD players owned by friends and family who received them. The idea is that if they are burned at a slower speed, the burning laser has a little more time -- tiny though appreciable -- to ensure that the signal is more firmaly embedded in the disc. This in turn makes it more likely that a wider variety of readying lasers will have less problems in reading the signal -- though this, as I said at the outset, cannot be guaranteed.
