maybe your disks arent compatable with your dvd player

Hi Thank u all for ur help! I'v downloaded the free trial for dvdsanta put a film on to dvd but when it plays it keeps jumping and sticking in parts. I've tried 3 different disks! r- r+ and rw and does it on all of them, thought it may have been the download so downloaded something else but it does it on that too!!
Am I really stupid?? or am I just unlucky??? please help

Sounds like the bit-rate is too high. Make sure you use dolby surround ac-3 audio & not pcm. And make sure the video bitrate max is less than 9. I don't know that software but those are typical symptoms of that issue.

The burned disc might not be compatible with your DVD player. Please visit

And by the way,I enjoy Winavi video converter more a bit.
