[MacDV] Problem with choppy audio and video on burned DVDs

[Gregg Gorrie]

Maybe try converting the AVI files to MPEG-4. Use Compressor (if you have
it), or MPEG Streamclip to convert them. Then re-burn the DVDs.

Alternatively, burn the AVI files to Video DVDs (not Mac/PC) using Toast and
then you can play them on stand-alone DVD players as well as any computer.
