    okay, I have a 67 minute DVD with about 17 chapters. Around chapter 14 it starts freezing, read below to see what I’m running and what I’ve tried:

    First I edited it in premiere elements 4.0 and tried to burn it from there.
    Then I exported as a DV AVI file and tried to burn it from Encore at both 8x and 4x speeds (4x was the lowest allowable)
    Then I tried to just create the Video TS file and burn it through Nero
    Then I lowered the bitrate to 7.0
    Then I changed it to CBR @ 7.0

    With every change I made the problem was still the same.

    Finally I burned it from elements again at 5.9mbps with just a few artifacts, but the quality has suffered a smidge.

    Any ideas why I would have to lower the bitrate so much for a 67 minute dvd?

    I am running a single processor (p4, 3.14), 1.5 RAM.
    Adobe Encore Version 1.5
    Taiyo Yuden Discs

    Thanks in advance….(never had this problem before)

    I never burn above 6.5mbps when it comes to SD DVDs. Playback CAN become an issue. How are you encoding the audio?

    My final DVD was burned from elements, so whatever the default setting is I don’t know (you can’t change that parameter, only the mbps)

    With Encore I used the default setting originally, then changed it to PCM.

    Would audio issues cause video to freeze?
