[MacDV] Final Cut Express Problem

[Gerhard Kuhn]

How many DVD players have you tried playing your disks on?  Some  
players have trouble playing burned disks and they will not play  
smoothly.  I have found three things that help 1) switching brand of  
dvd-r   2) making the content of the disk longer than one hour, what  
this does is reduce the bit rate of the mpg2 compression resulting in  
a better chance of playing smoothly.  3) switching the dvd player,  
take your disk to a large electronics store and try playing it on  
several of their machines

Hope this is of help
