Just bought My DVD 8 yesterday and created an hour-long DVD. Used My DVD to capture the AVI-DV. Added chapters and titles and burned to DVD-R. Went and played it on my set-top DVD player and the video was all shuddery. Is there something in the settings that I can use to fix this should I just go back to using My DVD LE with Windows Movie Maker, which I had no problem with? I have to say, I'm a little disappointed with this programme, especially after splashing out on it to M ake my DVDS look better.java script:emoticon('', 'smid_16')

Without telling us what settings you used to burn with, no one could do much but guess.

How does it play on your PC? Is this PAL or NTSC?

I burned using Pal; hardware rendering;. The AVI file played fine in Media Player before being burned. From burn start to finished took 2 and a half hours. Plays fine on my computer, if a little low res (however, another disc I burned using software rendering, will not show up on my computer and still shudders on TV). When I stick the disc in my set-top DVD, the image shudders when the camera moves or when people move.

I guess I need to tweak it a bit, but as I downloaded the program I didn't get any manual or guide. I might have to go back to My DVD LE which was limited but hassle-free

I have a different video card but if I use Hardware rendering I get a blurry result when panning scenes are running. Software rendering does not produce this so that is what I use.

The only real difference between the 2 is that many of the transitions require HW rendering, thus cannot be used.

The fact that it plays OK on your PC leans toward a compatibility issue between the media and your Player but I do understand that the combination you are using has worked before…

Make sure you have chosen Best Quality and not Fit to Disc. Try burning to File instead of the disc. This produces an ISO file that you can use Disc Copier to burn to disc with. Don't know why but this 2 step approach often produces better results than trying to burn directly to disc.

Are you in the US? If so that is your problem. US uses NTSC_M in DVD playback.
