I"m having a problem with a dvd I supplied to a client which freezes after 10 seconds playback.
My workflow is as follows
Film with a Canon xh-a1 in 25f
Edit in Premiere pro cs3
Render out as 1080p 25mbs file (1440x1080)
Transcode that 1080p file to dvd specs with tmpgenc
Import those tmpgenc files into encore and author my dvd
In tmpgenc I allways limit the bitrate to 8mbs and burn my disks in encore using slowest speeds.
I started getting problems since beginning last year, always used verbatim +r and if a client experienced playback problems I burned a dvd -r which always worked.
Only now I have a client with a 3 year old medion player, which is a German manufacturer of cheaper electronics (like pc's and so on). I have tested my dvd's on 5 different brand players with no problems, but on their player + r, -r from verbatim and another brand dvd freezes at the very beginning. They have to reboot the player just to get the dvd's out.
I have burned a iso file on another pc from colleague videographer who has not experienced any noticeable problems and those dvd's also freeze on my clients player.
Now I found someone with a identical medion player and there my dvd's also freeze!
The only thing I can think of now is that the medion player can't handle the bitrate of the dvd's, I read my dvd's with mediainfo and the videofiles have a bitrate of 7800kb but overal bitrate which includes audio is around 8300.
I don't have the time now but will transcode new files with tmpgenc with a lower bitrate end this week to see if this will work but was wondering if anyone here ever experienced a problem like this?
