Odd DVD problems

[Shaw]

Hey guys,

I've been working with Premiere Pro and I can't seem to get a DVD to work quite right. Premiere has an option to burn straight to DVD which I have been trying out. Now, everything goes well and the disc is created without errors. When I play it in my DVD player it starts right up like it should. About 2/3 of the way through though i starts to hang up and pixelate - much like if the disc were scratched (which they were not). Of course, the first thing that went through my head was bitrate. The initial disc was encoded at 6-8mbps VB and the second was encoded straight at 7mbps CBR. Both failed to work properly. Is premiere just incapable of handling anything about 7mbps?! I'm just trying to make sure I'm not missing something key here.

What kind of media are you using? Does it work in other DVD players? What speed are you burning at? These are all things that I look at when making DVDs. I haven't make one from the timeline in PPro, so I'm not sure about that.

Using 4x Memorex DVD+R burned at 4x speed. Perhaps I should select a slower burn speed? It works in my computers DVD drive perfectly but not on my set-top. Haven't tried it in anything else.

Thanks for the post!
