    im still kinda having problems with my dvds skipping and stopping…im beginning to wonder if it was the brand of dvd’s i used. but anyways…from start to finish what would be the most ideal settings for dvd compatibility for all dvd players. i mean from the brand of dvd’s, brand of dvd burner and settings inside DVDA3 itself…the whole bit.

    Thanks, Tim

    Video rate- 8mbps or lower, audio 192Kbps Ac3 Stereo. I have good luck with HP, Sony and TDK media.

    Well, if you are using the HP 200 (E/I) make sure you have the latest firmware updates. My first DVD burner was the 200E and it had horrible compatibility out of the box until I upgraded the firmware.

    Yeah – good one. Just make sure you have the latest firmware version. In your case, aside from careful authoring, media is the likely culprit when it comes to imcompatibility. I would burn on HP or TDK media to ensure highest compatibility. You can buy TDK printable discs bulk spindles at costco for about .45 each. You can find them even cheaper on the internet.
