Wrong Print to LG burner

Hi

I burned DVD-R media a single (16bits/48Hz) Vegas 4.0d AVI file in LG 4082B DVD burner - single movie mode (no menu) - following, I guess, the necessary steps, but two things happened repeatedly:

1) (only) One audio track had to be compressed, and, the most important,

2) When I play the DVD in my one year old Philips DVD player, it spends aprox. 3 minutes to load before playing it. Other Philips DVD player refuses to play the burned AVI, as well as other DVD player brand I tried.

Considering that a friend of mine made perfectly compatible DVDs prints with the same Chinese low grade media, with the same softwares (Vegas 4.0 / Architect 2.0), but with Pioneer A05 DVD burner, should my brand new LG 4082B burner incompatible with Architect 2.0?
What should I have to do to prepare and burn a "normal"(single movie, without menu) DVD disk in Architect 2.0 with my LG burner?

Obs: My processor is an Athlon 1,8 and my friend’s a Pentium 4
Thank you for your attention.

First reaction: Vegas 4.0d & CDV Architect 2?? Both of you? You're not using Vegas 5?

Anyway -- Item 1 states, somewhat unclearly: "(only) One audio track had to be compressed." Does that mean that there is more than one audio track, but only one required compression? Or that only the audio, not the video, had to be compressed? Don't know exactly what you're getting at, but here are a couple of comments:

a) using the default DVD burn parameters, the audio will always be compressed to AC-3. So nothing unusual there.

b) If your input is truly AVI, it should also be compressed, but you don't indicate that it is. Thus my confusion about item 1.

Item 2 refers to a 'burned AVI'. Once written to disc with DVDA-2, it's not an AVI, it's MPEG-2. You burn to DVD in AVI format from programs such as Nero and Roxio. Semantics, maybe, but it's important to say what you mean when you're looking for answers.

One thing I've noticed from many short tests is that, occasionally, DVDs created without menus don't seem to auto-start in my DVD player. Sometimes I have to press the play button, and sometimes it doesn't seem to play even then. I've never waited as long as 3 minutes to see if it would start. Perhaps another attempt with a simple menu would clarify this in your situation.

Thank you for your response.
I know the conversion process to MPEG 2 to make a DVD.
As I said, a friend of mine made perfectly compatible DVDs prints with the same Chinese low grade DVD media, with the same softwares (Vegas 4.0 / Architect 2.0), but with Pioneer A05 DVD burner.
