well, I don't have a dual disc burner, i was relying on my friend to do it. we downloaded the files via the torrent on demonoid. he said everytime he tried burning them to disc, he got errors while burning (on a pc)

for the heck of it, i took the files and tried burning them to a regular disc on my mac at work. i "opened" the rar file and got the corrected TS files. then i dragged both the original TS file and the corrected on into toast to burn the dvd.

Well you should have got an .ISO file when downloading. You say that you tried burning the files when in fact you should have just burned the .ISO. When you say you opened the "rar" i take it you meant the "ISO". Never unpack and iso file using winrar or other unzipping program. This caused problems with the disc when someone uploaded the unpacked folders to Demonoid and used winrar to unpack them. It caused me a huge nightmare trying to fix their mistake, especially with people contacting me saying i'd created a crap DVD that didn't work. If the one you got off demonoid is the unpacked version with the Audio_TS & Video_ts folders then just scrap that and head over to fanedit.info to download the correct ISO file from rapidshare . You can download both the single and dual layer versions from there

If you don't have a dual layer burner (yes that thing must be an antique) then just get DVDShrink and open the ISO file in that. Make sure all the subtitle and audio tracks are selected before shrinking the image to fit onto a single layer DVD. Now select the "create iso" as your output format in DVDshrink then burn the iso using IMGburn. Then try playing the burned dvd in your pc. If everything is fine on your pc but you are having the audio stuttering problem then i guess you have the NTSC and one of only a small handful of DVD players that doesn't like the AC3 audio track and it won't matter if someone burns you a copy because you will have the same problems.
