I did a video for a couple's 20th anniversary and I've been trying to get the DVD to play on the player (Sony SLV-D300P) for weeks now. I tried every format (-R, +R and a VCD), and despite what the manual said, each one had playback issues. So then I changed the brand from Sony and Maxell to Taiyo Yuden, because I read here that they were reliable. So today I took them over to the couple's house and we tried again, this time with a Taiyo Yuden +R, because the one that worked the best out of the formats was a +R. Anyway, it didn't work. The video blinks little pixel-y things and jumps and skips. I came home and tried the disc on my DVD player (which is supposed to play only VCD, but I figured I'd give it a shot.) Amazingly enough, the +R worked, blinky pixel things gone, skips gone, but it still got stuck about half way through. And SO, I'm wondering if maybe the issue could lie with my DVD burner? Are these symptoms accurate for a burner that's getting ready to bite the dust? My burner is only about a year and a half old, but I have put it to good use. So... any thoughts? Any idea what else I could do? Any input is very much appreciated. Thanks a ton. Kelsey
