skipping in one part when i play my movie in the dvd player

i've created a one hour movie. in the middle it skips about ten seconds. this only happens on dvd players. a few times it didn't skip. when i rewind i can see the footage that it skips. i've tried re-capturing the footage as well as using different media. any ideas?

macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Welcome to the forums.

If it is skipping in exactly the same spot with different media, that would be a bit odd. Often, playback problems are caused by too many errors created during the burning process or caused by bad media. Sounds like you've eliminated the media problem (Vebatim is often recommended, I like Sony also). To address burning problems, save your iDVD project as a Disc Image (a virtual DVD). You can play/check this file, and then copy it to actual media using Roxio Toast or Apple's Disk Utility. It's often recommended to burn at slower speeds to reduce errors; I go as low as 2x and don't have any problems.
