I am sorry. It was for DVDFlick. On that note, what is the best video decoder?

Ive been burning dvd's for quite some time and I still have not been able to figure out how to burn a dvd that isnt "choppy". What I mean by this, is that during the movie, every 2 seconds it will freeze for a split second and continue. Its such a small jerk, its hardly noticeable. Given the movie is still very watchable, its just not 100% perfect. No audio sync problems by the way, only the video problem persists. It appears as if the problem lies within the decoding process and not the actual burning process because the video is jerky after the decoding process before I burn to dvd. I am burning at the HIGH setting, with a thread count of 2. It decodes at about 10FPS which is time consuming, but the quality is overall better. I am using a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K17LF ATA Burner...which shouldnt matter because its clearly the decoding process that is causing the chops. My laptop is fairly new, 2 years old. I shut down all applications in the background while im decoding, as well as my wifi connection just to be safe. Does anybody have a fix for this or is it just part of the process? P.S. I have no LOG as there are no error messages throughout

Sounds like your burner doesn't like those blanks. Are they really Verbatim? From what we know they should have MKM-001-00 or MKM-003-00 dyes. I just noticed they are in fact sony dl's and not verbatim. The wife put the sonys in the verbatim box! My question is, do they really make that much of a difference?

I have verbatim dvd+R DL DVD's first off. I have burned many single layer DVD's and now am moving on to the higher quality Dual Layers and am having some problems When I burn the file using ImgBurn, the burn stopped at 57%. Thats quite interesting because this is about where I placed Layer Break. The drive I am using is Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-K17LF Windows Vista Everywhere has stated this drive will in fact burn dual layer dvds. If you scroll down to the last 2 entries of this log, there are layers 0 and 1. I wonder if this is in fact, the 2 layers that are burning. It appears as if the problem persists with burning the "2ND" layer of the disc. From what Im gathering, it would appear as if the laser tried to move to the second layer and some how froze. To summarize, I can still hear my drive operating, yet its been well over an hour that is has been frozen at 57% and itsnt moving. Im not sure what to do LOG: I 16:11:37 Operation Started!
