That's interesting. I meant to say that I've tried different types of DVDs, without making a difference.

Hope its not the RAM, I've had it in a fair while. How did you diagnose the RAM as being the problem?

Hi Susan,

Have you tried a different brand of DVD-R? Some DVDs work on certain players and some don't work so well. Might be worth a try. Also, we had huge problems with burning DVDs. Our final results were jittery and pixelated. After about 10 different brands of DVD-R and dozens of coasters, we found that our problem was that the extra RAM we had installed was faulty. Hard to pinpoint, easy to fix.

Hope this helps,
cheers

Glen.

Hi, using my EyeTV, I often record programs which I want to put on DVDs for viewing on our TV. However, find that the disks I make have lots of little pauses, which gets annoying over the course of a program. This is a consistent problem, and nothing to do with the recordings themselves, which are perfect when viewed on the computer.

Using:
PowerPC 1.25 gig, 1gig RAM
El Gato EyeTV  digital receiver
EyeTV software 1.7.1
Toast Titanium 6.0.7 for burning DVD's
DVD superdrive: Pioneer DVR--108 internal

The programs doing something called 'multiplexing' which is quite fast compared with 'encoding', which is what happens to my home videos when I want to burn them to DVD.

Has anyone had a similar problem and come up with a solution.

cheers, Susan.
