Hi Guys!

I converted some home shot videos into XVID using AutoGK and then burnt them to a DVD-RW so that I can check the quality in TV, as my DVD player supports MPEG4. The problem is that my DVD contains just one track but my DVD player shoes 3 and the DVD just doesnt run in the DVD player atall, although it does in my computer. To ckeck weather its a video problem, I burnt it again to another DVD-RW and it played well. I reformatted the old DVD-RW and burnt the same video and tried it again and now it plays again. Just to check, I again did the same thing and now it doesnt play.

What the hell is going on. Is this a media problem or a problem with my DVD player???

Thank you.

DVD-RW tend to behave funny when played on standalone layers

burn d VDO on a normal DVD-R disk and c if it is playin well. if it does, then it confirms d funy behaviour of d RW
