  • DVD does nor work on all computers…

    hi,
    i am currently burning my movie on DVD, I cut with final cut pro, exportet it using quick time conversion, dv stream, DV Pal, progressive, 48 000 KHZ….; afterwords I burn it in toast; on some computers and DVD lectures it works perfectly, but somehow on others, as I know from friends who I sent the movie to, it doesn´t. everytime the DVD works about 10 minutes, afterwords the whole programm starts cracking and the DVD does not work any more. but then again on some others (no matter if apple or PC, or DVD lecture) it works perfectly….
    does anybody have a clue what that can be about???
    it s a bit urgent since we are constantly sending the DVDs to festivals, never being sure if the DVD send will work…
    thanx in advance!

    Hi Christina,
    i think of two reasons that may be causing the problem. One can be the media you’ve used to burn the DVDs.
    The other one is that the data rate of the files was too high.
    You have Idea of the setting you used on the compression?
    What kind of audio? how many channels?
    What the duration of the movie?

    I have run into a similar problem. Have you tried both standard DVD media types “DVD+R” AND “DVD-R”.
    Ive found that the DVD-R is more stable in consumer DVD machines than +R. On the other hand, there are a handful of laptop DVD players where I work that only play DVD+R. Seems that the very inexpensive players are less likely to handle both types of DVD-that doesnt explain the issues on computers though. Good luck!
