My problem is that going through the process, at the point where it gives you a preview of the dvd, every few seconds the video skips (audio is fine). And when burned onto dvd and played in a stand-alone or pc the video is still skipping. I have updated the codec and my ASPI is fully working, hardware acceleration to full. But still the problem persists.

AMD Athlon x2 3800+

What happened prior to this? What is the computer involved? Virus/spyware free? Running processes?
-
It's a new computer, with no adware/spyware or viruses, it's an Acer T180 DC. The processes running are in the pic of my task manager (in the zip file). Nothing happened prior to this, the video is fine during normal playback. As are all other graphics/video running on the computer. It just seems to be when i'm previewing/burning...
-
There is no good reason to preview while burning and this can cause aberrations. Try burning something without doing this and see what happens.
-
When burned, the dvd is also jumpy. I'm stumpped too...thats why i came here. I don't know what up with it.

Do you have Nero AND Roxio both installed? One is really enough, so pick one and use it after uninstalling the other.
-
No i swapped them just to make sure that it wasn't the software. And both done the same, Currently Roxio is installed, nero isn't, though i'd prefer nero. And it's the preview before burning. that comes up automatically.
-
Some have preview during burning and that can cause problems. I would look for some way to turn that off before you get too drastic with solutions.
-
The only reason it's jumpy during the burn playback it because it's not burning at realtime, it's burning faster and therefore has to jump to catch up and the burning playback is disabled. i always minimize to tray, which turns it off.
-
I think we are going in circles here. I don't think minimizing it is the issue. I think you need to turn off the viewing during burning. How do you know it's "jumpy during the burn playback"? What does that mean?
-
It has nothing to do with the burning stage my writer is fine. I think it's the rendering that's the problem, when i said it was jumpy i ment, that, when you use nero or roxio. A stage before it starts encoding and burning. It lets you see what u've made, so you can check if menus are working. That is jumpy along with the dvd that is burned. On a stand alone player or pc the dvd is jumpy.
-
OK, well I am going to let someone else jump in here.
Are you running in DMA or PIO mode?

I'm running on DMA if Available.

c_starrs..... Happy New Year..... I have been asked by Gx1_Man to have a look at your issue and see if I am able to assist ........
If I understand , the issue , When burned, the dvd is also jumpy.
I assume what you mean is that when you play the burnt DVD , it will
start playing and then at one or more points, will stop momentarily and then resume playing or perhaps even stop and not resume playing ........ Does that describe whats occurring ?
I have a few questions :
Does this occur with any dvd you attempt to burn ?
You mentioned that you use Nero to burn, Exactly which version of Nero are you using ?
If you have Nero, is it some version of a Nero Suite burning program ? and if thats the case exactly which part of the program are you using .
What is the source of the files you are trying to burn ? I'm guessing they are downloaded movie files that would contain 7 or 8 rar files each.
Get back with these answers and we can proceed.

Ive burned a few movies with nero 6 , i found you get the Best results if you use the slowest burn speed ,
also if you first make and image of the DVD rather than encoding straight to disk you might also get better results
Nero should allow you to burn the Video to an Image recorder , and then you can burn the image as if it were a data Disk , and therefore not have to Encode and Burn at the same time
-
When i said tht my burned dvds skipped, yes i did mean when i played burned dvds, and as i have stated it wasn't only nero i was having this problm with, it was roxio, and no the movies are in avi. File Format. And no matter how i approch burning tht dvd, The preview of the dvd on the computer, and the burned dvd it's self both skip!
If it helps any, in roxio, there is an option to text you graphic to determin wether the rendering should be done by hardware of software. Now, when i do that it automatically switches it to software "Due to the know capabilities of my hardware" but then playback is even worse! it just goes nuts jumping!! so i have to manually switch to hardware and then i get jumping every few seconds.
-
c_starrs...... Sorry to be presistant , but I believe I asked you 5 questions....and you sort of answered the first one........ the answers to the other are just as important ...... and I would like to add one more .
"Due to the know capabilities of my hardware"
this suggests that you were or are trying to burn the dvd at a burn speed of something greater than either your burner or the blank dvd disks your using .
What is the burn speed of your DVD burner ? ............ 1 , 4 , 8 or 16.

Does this occur with any dvd you attempt to burn ? Yes
You mentioned that you use Nero to burn, Exactly which version of Nero are you using ? Nero 7 Ultra Edition
If you have Nero, is it some version of a Nero Suite burning program ? and if thats the case exactly which part of the program are you using . Nero Vision, but i have also trien roxio with no luck
What is the source of the files you are trying to burn ? I'm guessing they are downloaded movie files that would contain 7 or 8 rar files each. No all in avi
According to Nero InfoTool i have a read and write speed of both 48x (does that seem right?? I think thts a lil fast) and the disks have a write speed of 8x (DVD-R). But the known capabilities of my hardware message was displayed after a graphics test. I'm presuming on my video card.
Would my write speed have an efect on the burn preview, before the burning stage is reached?
-
c_starrs...... Please try this .......... go into Nero 7 Ultra ...and open up Nero Vision Express .......
once its open .......
click "make a DVD " then
Click "Add video files ....... then
Click .."Next" ...... then select the type of menu you wish and click Next
close up the preview....... and click "NEXT" ..... then select your burner and burn speed ( I have mine set to automatic ) click burn and sit back and let it encode and burn.

I've tried that, but this time, i added a menu. And the very animated menu didn't jump at all... only the actual video! so It must be what nero/roxio is doing to the video. Madness :P
-
have you tryed what i suggested and made an image first?
-
yes panboy i did, but results were the same, i also have other problems which i am unable to fix, and there all to do with graphics so i am gongi to assume they are connected, i've got in touch with comet and am awaiting a responce
-
Can you play these AVI on the compute with out the Skips? i didn't see it said anywhere
-
i've already said the movie files play fine.
-
your Cross encoding From NTSC to Pal arnt you, that why its going out of sync. i bet thats it
either that of a buffer under run error, which happens when your DVD drive burns faster than it can decode, to fix this you can just burn at write speed 1
-
well yeh, i think it's the 1st one. I try to encode in PAL. Is AVI. the other one?
-
its a bit weird , Vido Formats on computers work on all computers, but vido formats on TVs are Differnt
and the videos play at diffent speeds for example a Pal TV plays at 50Hz and NTSC plays at 60Hz so if you encode one to the outher you either have to much or to little and that will make the jumps happen
-
well...on that comment, i tried encoding on that NTCS or what ever :P and it's not jumpy....its just jittery all the way through.
-
Well its half fixed ^.^ and Half Broken .... err yay
-
lol. i'll just wait and see if comet fix it :)
