So much for the PT remaining strong in the public conscience.

The first DVD-authoring software I used generated MPEG audio as well. Unfortunately, my DVD player wouldn't play it, so I looked elsewhere. That's one of the reasons I decided to use Vegas.

"would the heat generated from spinning have something to do with it?"

No, I don't think that would be a problem. What would be a concern is if the label comes loose, causing wobble or even aerodynamic "lift". If pieces came off, they could gum up the works, too.

This reminded me: Anyone ever see the "Mythbusters" where they spun CDs to the point where they shattered? Funny stuff!

Well, it's one of those things that you either encounter, or never do. If you have a newer player, it's generally not much of an issue.

Nonetheless, slower burning means the pits are burned longer, and are more pronounced. It's not a tremendous difference, but for some players, it's enough of a difference. It's certainly worth a try.

"And one more thing, do disc labels affect playback at all? I can't remember faulty playback on a disc with a label on it, though I've played others that have labels with nary a problem. Any ideas? Thanks!"

Technically, anything that is added to a CD/DVD can potentially affect playback, generally by throwing off the center of gravity. If you are using labels that adhere to the disc, I would be very careful how you apply them. I print directly to my DVDs.

If every labelled disc you have doesn't play, and every labelled disc that is blank does play, then I'd say it's causing the problem. Other than that, it's hard to say without going through some real trial and error.

For what it's worth, I buy the generic Ritek DVDs (generally 8X), and have never burned a toaster. They are 30 cents apiece. My Toshiba 1200 is about 4 years old, and plays my DVDs fine.

if the resulting MPEG works in PowerDVD, try importing it again into Womble and render out again (I've not used Womble, so I'm not sure what the actual procedure is. Maybe, now that both MPEGs are together, Womble will rewrite the code correctly?

"Just save yourself the headaches and download 'em!"

Unfortunately, changing the sharpness doesn't remove video dropouts or splice marks, or improve the colors.

On Topic, 3 films I really have to agree with are Star Trek V, Jaws: The Revenge, Caddyshack II. Those were painful to watch.

They almost fit into the paper tray of my printer. If I got one of those printers that does large sheets, I could probably rip 2 or 3 at once.

ROTFLMAO! I like this guy ^

(Can't wait to see what you do at 100.

)

b_k, you might want to also try burning at a slower speed. If you have an older DVD player, they tend to need better glasses due to their age.........uh, I mean, they have trouble reading the pits of a DVD that was burned quickly (the pits aren't always as discernable.)

Since the Adam Kingrey thread was locked, I just wanted to add what a great laugh I got from his two PMs. It's so nice to see the effort he went through to prove me correct in regards to my belief that he should not be a party to these boards - something I've known and stated from the day he started posting here.

Call me all the names you want, Adam, but it is you that have been banned over and over again from various boards, and yet you do not, or refuse to, get the hint. People don't like who you are, what you are, and what you do, regardless of your own beliefs about your behavior and manners. Your life will suffer for this until you either get your head straight, or you finally piss off the wrong person.

"they figure most HiDef DVDs at launch will be multiple regular DVD's shoehorned onto one disc. Eg. SciFi Channel's Dune on 1 disc instead of 3."

I don't doubt that at all. My guess: The Rambo Saga will be one of the early sets.

"let us not forget how long it took dvds to take off!"

Nor how quickly they became the number one home theater consumer purchase.
