I use Windows XP Home Edition, just did a Destructive Recovery--so registry should be at best--have hp DVD Writer 400c and IDE DVD ROM 16x for CD/DVD burner and reader drives. I use InterVideo WinDVD Creator for DVD burning software and/or Nero 6.6.0.16 for another burner software. Nero is a very powerful software.
Here's the problem for a while now, I burn a file, avi, mpeg, whatever to a DVD+R blank, usually with Creator but lately I'm learning to use Nero, but either one, when I take the burned DVD to my DVD Player to watch it on TV, occasionally, but more and more often, I'll be watching and alls going well the the DVD begins to skp, pause, jump forward, or just freeze. If I take the same DVD into my computer and play it, fine, no problems. Point is, if it plays well on the computer, that tells me that whether it's Nero or Creator, the file was burned to the blank ok. Right? So, I'm assuming the problem is with my DVD Player. Right?
What I want to know is, is there something I'm missing and the problem doesn't necessarily have to be with the Player and it could still be with the software burners (but I say two different softwares, that's odd)? And if the problem is with y DVD Player, is there a way to specify, to narrow the options down to what the problems may be and fix it or do I just have to go out and buy another DVD Player?
P.S. I'm considering, rather than spending so much money purchasing DVD blanks at a $1 a piece and another DVD Player, a good one, at about $100 to 200, and Netflix on-line at about $35 monthly, that I might purchase D-Link Media Player at $185 to $250, which transmit by wireless technology any file I download to my TV, e.g. I download Stargate SG-1, season #9, episode #1, avi file, go to my living room, grab the D-Link remote, click, pick Stargate SG-1, and watch it on my TV. No more DVD blanks, no more software to burn files to DVD blank, no more $35 to $39 monthly for Netflix.
Can anyone provide some additional insight into D-Link? But the main question here is above about the problems I currently wonder about between burning softwares, burner drives, and my DVD Player. That I need to know.
