Well, I always tested my DVD on set-top boxes, have not watch an entire DVD on my PC, least not the ones I created.
However recently I did, and boy, there were many "skippings". It seems, even my not-so-old-and-not-so-small P4-2GH 1GB is too slow to run WinDVD smoothly. So I burned another one using 3000bps MPEG2 instead of 8000bps, and it no longer skip.
Which leads to the question, do some of you burn it at 3000bps or at least less than 8000bps not because it was necessary due to size? But instead for the reason above?
Of course, the quality loss is obvious when the scene pan too fast, but else seems to be OK otherwise.
Really got me thinking...
