Hi Harry,
Something else to consider is, did you apply labels on these disks?
If you did then the disk could be out of balance, as there has been alot of
documentaion of bad disks that were only bad because they had labels applied to
them.
It's best to either print directly on the disk using an inkejt printer like the epson
R300 and inkjet printable DVD media or print on them using a Thermal printer.

: Hey Harry,
: I'm not familiar with Vegas, DVD Architect, or the HP200i. But speaking generally,
here is a list of things to keep in mind. These are only suggestions, but I personally
rarely violate them unless I'm making discs for my personal gear, and I know it will
work.
: 1. Always use top quality media. (I know, we've heard this before, but it's true.)
This seems to be especially important when it comes to reading the outer portions
of a disc. (i.e. full discs) Related to this... RW media is always suspect when
problems arise.
: I've also been burning discs long enough that I'm starting to suspect the age of the
media at the time it is burned can be a factor, especially with lower quality media.
: 2. Try to keep your video bit rate settings down a little (i.e. 7000 K/Bits sec or
less). Use VBR instead of CBR. And AC3 audio compression (if available) will help
the player out too.
: 3. Burn as slowly as you can. I nearly always burn at 1X DVD-R, or 2.4X DVD+R,
even though my burners and media support higher speeds.
: Now if all that fails to make a disc playable in a "set-top" player. It's probably the
player's fault. But if the drive still won't play it, you could have hardware problems,
or perhaps a problem with your software player.

: : From Vegas Video 4 to DVD Architect and then making a 1/1/2 hour dvd on a
HP 200i dvd recorder I am getting some dvd copies that have pixilation and freeze
up part way through playing. what can be the causes of this. Any comments will give
me a place to look. Thank you
