    Jerky & freezing movie after burning fixed

    Fixed jerky and stopping movie on a burned disk.
    I had the same problem .
    after burning a video it was jerky and started to freeze up during playback.
    I searched for the answers and here are two things I learned today.
    firmware, and burn speed make a difference.
    Firmware sounded to me like some sexually toy.
    Just like when a teacher in class talks to fast you only can remember a certain amount of info.... the same goes for burning information onto a disk.
    I burned a movie called Into the blue, great movie.
    initially I let everything take its course. One,two ...disks wasted....
    I changed the setting to make the dvd burn at a speed of 4x even though my burner can do 16x.
    also I down loaded the latest software for my dvd drive. using www.drvupdate.com
    by the way my older dvd player connected to the TV won't play the burned disk. but it works on my portable curtis dvd player.
    A DVD +R disk is much different than a DVD -R disk .....go figure.
    Alas it worked. I no longer felt like a dummy.
    PS. At the age of 37 1/2 yrs I have experience computers from nothing to where they are today.
    My very first computer came with only 1K memory.....expanded to 16K. Yeah that's 'K' not meg, gig, tetra gig or anything else that boggles the mind.
    It is an immense task to try and stay current to the latest technology.
    I am continually amazed at the genius that some of today's youth has in learning new technology like burning ripping and out right beating the system.
    If you don't give up and try to persevere through all odds you can succeed.
    Good luck.... to you and all those trying to beat the system...



    Quote me;

    If you don't question authority then you are a slave to their wishes and ways thereby subjecting yourself to living a life of never knowing true freedom.


    Oh the thoughts one gets by smoking something natural other than tobacco.

    Sounds as your first computer was a Sinclar ZX 80 or 81?

        Hey - old dog - try getting into it when your 47 - your just a pup! Give me microsoft word any day - I can play miracles on an Excel spreadsheet, but but a burner in front of me and I'm a little slow on the uptake! Been at it a couple months now, and just starting to get comfie!
