Ok, so I tried making three new discs today. One at 6.2 VBR, one at 5.5 CBR, and one at 5.0 VBR – all with the same 192K ac3 audio. I also burned them on a different computer, and did the encoding on a diff machine as well (using the compressor program that is part of DVDSP). I used Maxell media this time, and burned them all at 4x speed.

In all cases, they had major clitches on my Denon DVD player. Not all in the same places, however, but consistent glitches throughout the program. I know it sounds like the Denon is acting up but I don’t have problems with any other discs. I haven’t tried these new discs on any other players yet, but the original one I was having trouble with played fine in some players, badly in others, so I’m assuming this might be the case with these as well.

Any other ideas? I must be going nuts at this point. I really just can’t figure out what in the world I’m doing wrong!

Sorry I left out crucial info:

I used DVDSP on mac to encode the DVD and burned it from an image file using Toast. Yes, a high speed burner was used. I will try all of your and eric’s suggestions and see what happens.

BTW, that bitrate viewer looks great, but unfortunately I’m a mac user. Do you know of any such equivalent program for OSX?

Thanks so much for your responses…

VBR, I think. Media = Memorex. I tried burning another disc and the same problem occurred. The glitches on the Denon occurred in the same spaces, roughly. Not always in exactly the same way.
