What we have is a case of the DVDs being too GOOD for our cheap DVD players... Most DVDs are encoded at a 3.5 bitrate data stream and a two hour movie can fit on a single disc. I made a DVD of my own movie to show at a fest and I encoded at 7.5 megabits to get the best image quality. The DVD player used could not play the disc about 20 minutes into the show - it skipped, the audio jumped and it got stuck on a freeze frame. As a backup I had a 3.5 back-up DVD that we switched to and it played fine . Like my movie I think the SW DVDs are at a higher
bitrate than NORMAL but within the DVD standard. I have ESB playing on an i-mac 800 MHZ at if I try to listen to the Audio com track it stutters in full screen mode but plays fine a small window. My players fault not the disc if I had a G5 I'm sure the full screen would work...
On my Sony the movies played fine , on my Apex Dual - layer discs no way...
It's the Player not the disc. - LINK
