1. Re: Why is my DVD project freezing when a video clip plays?
Bill Hunt Sep 24, 2011 1:40 PM (in response to jl2000)What brand of blank media did you burn to?
What speed is that media, and what is your burner's speed?
What speed did you burn to?
Good luck,
Hunt

jl2000 Sep 24, 2011 2:06 PM (in response to Bill Hunt)Bill - thanks for the response.
I burned onto an Imation blank that is marked as "DVD-R 16x".
My MacBook Pro's drive will write at 2x, 4x, 8x (according to the system profiler)
Encore's Build panel tells me the write speed is set at 8x.
I don't see anything here that would cause this kind of mishap, but I never even thought to check.
Do these figures tell you anything??
Thanks for your help.

3. Re: Why is my DVD project freezing when a video clip plays?
Bill Hunt Sep 24, 2011 3:55 PM (in response to jl2000)While I am familiar with the brand name, Imagtion, I do not know what their business model is. Some companies, like Memorex buy the cheapest blank media of that day, and rebrand it, with their logo. Others do the same thing. Poor quality blank media can cause all sorts of issues, such as hanging and skipping - hence my question.
I would do a test burn with high-quality blank media, such as Falcon, Taiyo-Yuden or Verbatim, and then burn about 4x on the speed. Test to see if that disc plays, without the skipping and hangling.
Good luck,
Hunt

I will get out to purchase some of those soon. I think I will also perform some other test at slower speeds. I'll get back to you if I nail down an answer.
Thanks again for your experienced input.

Stan Jones Sep 24, 2011 5:30 PM (in response to jl2000)I forget the option on Mac, but you can troubleshoot by taking the disk and burn o8ut of the equation by building to a folder and playing on the computer.
I would also do a test project with just the animation and another with just the video (or more likely same project with them on different timelines) to see if that produces the same problem or not.
I would also look at what your transcoding settings are.

jl2000 Sep 26, 2011 5:50 AM (in response to Stan Jones)All - thank you for the responses.
I dug into the video which I used as footage in the AE project. It was huge !. So I used QT7 to scale it down and then brought the scaled down version into AE. At the end of the process the DVD played perfectly.
Thanks all for input.
