Yeah, right ... and where did I say that the files I downloaded were not public domain? Case closed ... indeed.

Considering how on this page of one of the Imgburn guides http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=1778 it shows how to create an ISO file from a directory called "Star_Wars_IV," you guys are pretty funny.

I have a Lite-On DVDRW SOHW-1633S external drive. I created ISO files from VOB files from the binary newsgroups using ImagBurn and then burnt them to DVDs. When I play these DVDs on my Toshiba SD-3990 DVD player, they do not work properly -- the video is either pixellated and/or pauses. But if I play the DVD on my Philips DVP-642/37 DVD player, it works fine, as it does in the recorder that made it, and also on another DVD player on my computer. I thought maybe it had something to do with the media, since I was using Fuji DVD+R (16X) so I went and bought Verbatim DVD+R (16X), but the results are even worse. I tried recording at 4X instead of the default of 16X and there was no improvement. Is it possible that this Toshiba player just doesn't like DVDs that are made on this Lite-On recorder? The Toshiba will play DVDs that are made on friends' computers, including the same Fuji media that I am having problems with. I could just use the Philips DVD player, but the problem is the Toshiba's DIVX reproducing capabilities are much better, and can play back a much wider variety of movies that are seriously distorted on the Philips or won't play at all. What is weirder -- if I treat the Fuji DVDs as a giant CD-ROM and burn AVIs as data files to it using Roxio Creator #6, when I play the files back on the Toshiba (as DIVX files), there is no pixellation or pausing. Any suggestions?
