avi works on pc but plays up on divx player?

[chance_]

there's this avi i have and it plays with no problems on the pc but i put it in my cheap ass divx dvd player and after like 5 seconds into it it keeps stopping and skipping etc. sometimes plays a bit... then plays up again. this is the player right ? cause i just burnt it twice and on 4x speed.

have u tried any other discs to see if they skip freeze also

i burnt it on the same brand of disc - two copies. i'll try my dvd-rw that always works. maybe the divx player doesn't like this brand i dunno its weird cause i burn like 5 avi's on this disc and only the last one on the disc has problems. i bet it's the player.

i bet it's the player too. one of my cheap ones right from day one skipped like a bastard on 4 different high quality media with dvd data discs. cd-r/cd-rw play data fine though

i convert everything to dvd files now, it NEVER skips. something about the data on dvd's it hates. a friend has a sony, paid $80 about a year ago. he says he's never seen a disc skip. i'd bush that player and get a good one.
