newbie DVD encoding question

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

It was recently that I got my first homemade video encoded on a dvd. I got
it to playback on my dvd player successfully but I was getting some weird
results:

- The title page wouldn't work at all. It would stall the dvd player.
- Fast forward only works at 2X. Any other speed will cause the playback to
jump back to the first chapter.
- Reverse play would either stall the dvd player or cause it to jump back to
the first chapter.

Equipments:
1. Adobe Premiere Pro to encode the video and Adobe Encore to author. I have
also tried directly burning it from Premiere Pro but got the same result.
2. LG dvd writer GSA 4040B
3. DVD-R disc
4. Nero or Premiere Pro to burn the CD.
5. ElectroHome dvd player.

Has anyone experienced similar problems? Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Also for DVD Videos,
try burning DVD-R at 1x or 2x.
DVD players can't keep
scanning for many error corrections,
and keep a picture on the screen.

Faster DVD burns seem to make
many "soft errors", requiring many
re-scans for error correction in
playback.

Princo also makes good blanks
at reasonable prices. Search
Google, etc.

Good luck,
George
