DVD Playback Problem

Just completed my latest "home video production". It runs about 1hr 40mins, and is my longest to date.

I got in on disc using 'Fit to disc' feature (VMS Platinum/DVDA 4).

Problem.......

Playing it in the stand alone DVD player, it played without issue till about half way through, when it just kind of frooze! Played with the cue/review buttons until I got it going again. I think it did this twice on me.

I thought that other than a dirty laser, maybe I had a bad disc, but the funny thing is the disc plays through perfectly when played on my PC DVD.

Any thoughts?

I'm using Sony DVD+R media

I use minus R media exclusively so you may want to give that a try.

Have you had this problem before using the same media? I would try a different DVD brand and see if you have the same problem. I use Verbatum and they work great. I would also burn a shorter movie to see if it is related to the length of the movie. I had a similiar problem a few months ago and ended up replacing the burner. Sometimes also it helps to burn at a slower speed. Good Luck
