SVCD Playing problems.

The DVD2SVCD program works fine, but not for every DVD/SVCD Player. Players (SVCD compatible), I have tested are interupting (freezing) video after some time of playing, why ? Does my tested burning speed (8x) with Nero 5.5.9.4 still influence the reliability of the result ? I heard that only a very low burning speed(1x)gives good reliability with SVCD's ??

that is not true. I burn my svcd's (i have 260) at 32x on NoName CD-R's. Try to test your movies on another player.

Burn speed _can_ be a factor, but it isn't always. It totally depends on the media, drive, and other factors. Post your logfile so we can try and determine the problem.

Yeah it can matter on burn speed depending on your setup, but another thing we should remember is that you should also try the way we have found is the best and safest way to burn the cue/bin files here is a link take a look at Q61:

There are so many things that can cause your problem. If it's just freezing and not showing signs of blockiness or green blocks I doubt it's a burn speed issue. Try lowering your bitrate and do some test encodes using CDRW discs and a couple of chapters using CBR to make sure the bitrate is always at it's highest. Try at different rates. It could be that the video you are playing doesn't hit it high bitrate point until the place you are having problems. Not every DVD player can handle the same bitrates. If that doesn't solve your problem post your logfile using cut and paste not attach. Mark

Audio Bitrate? 

Im not sure if this is your problem, but without any logfile, you make it hard to determine. When my audio bitrate is too high, ive had the same problems, freezing. Try your audio b/r at 128 (default) and see if that helps, if not, like previous posters have said before, its most likely your media or your player as the culprit to your problems.

Forgot to ask, are you downsampling your audio, or leaving it at 48? Try both, maybe it will help.

...also, make sure you don't put any cd labels on the cd, as when the cd heats up after some time of continouous playing,(about 35-40 mins) it might be getting warped (not permanently, but enough for the laser beam to get "lost"), so freezes would occur on an otherwise perfectly burned disc. If freezes happen on a cold disc, then see comments above. Low burning speeds is a must, but IMHO, 1x is too low. 4x is generally considered the golden rule here.

about the burning speeds, i would try to burn fast first and if it gives you problems burn slower...ive never burned anything slower than 24x since i got my new burner about 1.5 years ago and ive never had a single problem that could be fixed by burning at slower speeds.
