Help: Problem Burning MPEG/WMV to DVDs

[blazer_workz]

Hi guys and gals, i've have a problem burning mpeg/wmv videos to DVDs. The burning process was completed sucessfully, but when the DVD was played on dvd players it encounter problems playing. The disc was able to play normally for the first 7-8 mins. But after that, it appears the frame was freeze. Tested the disc on at least 4 dvd players, same problem persist. MPEG/WMV file was playing normally on my laptop. Was using Nero Vision Express for burning. Wasted at 3 DVDs.

Any ideas what went wrong?
Or is there any other software recommendation for burning DVDs?

Can't remember the brand..its not with me now.

2) what type of dvd media did you use (DL?)?
DVD-R+

3) what dvd player did you you use?[/QUOTE]
Samsung, Shinco, Akira

Hi Ahbeng, i dun think its the dvd player problem..seems more like a burning process problem.
If i burn the MPEG/WMV from my HDD direct to the DVD..i have no issues playing it on the laptop.

The problem comes when I burn the MPEG/WMV to DVD videos.

Burner seems ok..no problem burning data CDs and DVDs..

Hi Blazer Workz,

Try Ulead DVD Workshop. They are more reliable, unless the problem lies with your dvd-writer or your editing system - there could be 101 explainations.

Good Luck,

Hi blazer. I'm not familiar with using Nero for encoding DVDs (you must be encoding, cos your source is wmv, right?) but you should look for a DVD Video type of preset that is less likely to give you errors. If you just burn files to DVD it will not follow the DVD standard and this will definitely cause playback problems on DVD players. Computer DVD drives are very different and can read almost anything, DVD are much more fussy.

u use DVD+R or DVD-R

most of the DVD players cannot play DVD+R no matter what format u use..

try to use DVD-R..

Mpg/wmv?.. not so sure.. but did u burn it in data form?
maybe your DVD player cant recognise the format when there is a change form mpg to wmv?:dunno: or maybe the player cant even play back wmv?
PC can play most (but not all) as well u have the rite software to play back.

well, but if u have burned in VOD then maybe some other probm.. :think:
but again, wmv can burn to DVD (VOD) meh?? tat i never tried b4.. :dunno:

Recently I converted a wmv movie to SVCD format w/o any problem.

wmv > mpg ( SUPER )
mpg > SVCD ( nero )

no problem to watch on my DVD player.

I convert to SVCD becoz' the nero refuse to burn as DVD. Anyway SVCD quality looks good too.

So when you convert from AVI to MPEG then burn to DVD, you have no problems ?
If yes, then something wrong with the conversion from WMV to MPG.
Try to use another program to do that.

If no, then i would try to get another brand of disc. Use good quality disc.
And to burn at lowest speed.

Keep us updated. I'm interetsed to know what cause this problem and how you solved it, cos sometimes it happens to me.
