  • DVD Factory producing same bad streams as DVD plugin!

    Oh well, I kinda expected it.

    Weird that navigation, FF/REV work as expected, but obnoxious glitches on playback. Same mpeg2 file "authored" to DVD-R with A03 bundled MyDVD plays glitch free but has FF/REV problems.

    Interesting that the MyDVD bundled with the HP DVD100i seems to encode at a good clip. I'll produce a DVD+RW from DV files and see if it plays before returning the thing. I wonder about the quality of the encoding, it seems faster than MSP6.5 File->Create.
    At least with the HP I'm not wasting $6 a pop.

    While using DVD Factory Trial I had a list of times for the chapter points from my MSP6.5 project, as I went thru the file I noticed my times and the DVD Factory were diverging for the starting frames well beyond the "jitter" of Needing an I-fram for a chapter point. Error was ~6 sec near the end of a ~2hr mpeg2 (4000VBR)
    perhaps there is a clue here as to why the Ulead authored disks glitch on most players.

    Final results from HP DVD 100i

    The encoding quality from MyDVD was not very good, clearly worse than MSP6.5 4000VBR to my eye.

    Navigation seems to work, FF/REV seems to work, but seems a bit "sluggish" to start. Playback still glitches :-(

    Show-stopper is when one scene plays it returns you to the menu rather than playing the next scene!!!

    Don't buy this crap.
