Hey, all. I've lately been trying to make backups of files in various media formats to DVD, using FFmpeg and dvdauthor. The resulting DVD plays excellently on my laptop DVD player with MPlayer and VLC, but suffers from incessant skips on the two commercial DVD players (i.e. hooked to a television) that I've attempted to play them on. This happens with every file and disc that I've tried.
My process for encoding/burning is this: ffmpeg -i test.avi -target ntsc-dvd test.mpg dvdauthor -t test.mpg -o dvd/ dvdauthor -T -o dvd/ growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-video -speed=4 dvd/ Normally I would imagine that I was simply burning the disc too quickly, but 4x seems reasonable, and this doesn't explain why the DVD plays well on my laptop. I use single-layer Memorex DVD-Rs, but have also tried Verbatim to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated. PS: MPlayer's output when playing the DVD rarely complains of sync errors, but doesn't hinder playback in any way.
