Repeated playback issues....

[utgunslinger13]

I have been having problems lately with playback of my burnt dvd's. I am using dvd shrink and I reauthor all my discs. I take only the main movie, leaving off all menus and extras. 90% of the time the disc does not need to be compressed and in the 10% of the times it does, its usually less than 10-15% compression.

However, with the holidays I have been sitting around watching movies all week. I have noticed that some of these discs with freeze and skip forward periodically, or will freeze for a second and the sound and mouths don't line up.

I am using a very old playstation 2 as my dvd player and haven't been able to make any comparisions of those discs in a different dvd player so it is possible that the problem could be with the dvd player.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

play in your computer and see if it has the same problems?

I played it on my computer and man they were flawless! So it would have to be my VERY old PS2 right?

On a side note, I had to download WINDVD for the disc to play on my laptop but its a trial version. Is there a program thats similar in quality that is shareware?

Thanks,
Nick
