Why is DVDA2 burning coasters for me. I have a 1.5 hour video that I'm working with. DVDA2 burns the disk and reports that the burn was successful. I insert the disc into my DVD player. It plays for about 20 minutes, then, gets all full of artifacts, starts, stops, stutters, you name it.
For what it's worth, I'm running a 3.0 gHz machine with 1.5 GB RAM, Two internal discs totalling 360 GB of storage space, 80% of which is free.
McAfee along with all other background aps disabled before the burn.
I'm burning to Sony DVD+R media rated at a top speed of 4x . . . I'm burning at 4x.
I have an internal Lite-On burner and also a TDK Dual (Firewire/USB) external 8x burner hooked up to my machine via the firewire ports. Have tried both drives, same disappointing result.
Video and Audio look fine on the beginning part of the disc. I have disabled all background aps, and the preview of the DVD as well as the source files play ok on my computer. The TS files also are free of defects.
I know I've got all the hardware I need, there is nothing fancy about this footage, it's straightforward, no menus, just the video.
I've had success with DVDA2 previous, so, I cannot fathom what I may be doing wrong.
Any suggestions welcome. Seems as though I manage to spend every Christmas troubleshooting some aspect of my computer. That tradition is getting old as am I.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks.
