Irregular DVD playback (freezing) after "successful" burning
Hi - mortified I gave several DVDs to family members recently only to learn the DVD freezes in multiple locations. 😟 I don't get it. I created it in iMovie (old VHS tape I uploaded via Elgato), added sound, labels and still photos. Very extensive project as you can imagine. I then shared it with iDVD and created chapters, etc. I burned it onto a dual layer DVD. (It's a large project.) I made multiple copies of it, each burned via iDVD one at a time. I must have made 30 copies. I watched one with my mom on her DVD player (probably a year old) and it was perfect. But I've heard from many family members that the DVD freezes, stops, won't play.
In case it matters, I did the burning in two settings (including quitting iDVD in between the burnings), but apparently this is impacting both batches according to early reports.
I will also say that last year I made another similar (albeit much simpler!) DVD in the same manner. Sure enough, it freezes up during one of the later chapters.
Is this something specific to dual layer DVDs?
What sorts of questions should I be asking myself to begin solving this problem?
I am using OS 10.7.4. iMovie '11 (9.0.4) iDVD 7.1.2
I'm afraid I'm going to become the joke of the family whenever I show up with a disk in hand to give as a gift...
