I burned a file to a CD. It is more than 70 min, so when i tried burning i was asked if i wanted to 'finalize' the cd. I agreed. but although I can view it great on my com, but it gets choppy on my tv. Any idea?

I know its more than 70 min, but do i really need to go through all the trouble of splitting it into smaller files and burning onto 2 cds? I don't mind using another cd. but is there a quicker way?

Your going to need a dvd player that will read it. The older ones wont read them very well. I speak from experience

Your problem is not the cd, or the fact that you finalized it. Actually, finalizing it would fix some compatibility problems that exist with older CD players. If it's choppy on your dvd player, mabye that's a sign that your dvd player can't read it properly, or that it's getting old. If you recorded your movie on a CD-RW, try burning on a CD-R. If that doesn't work, try burning on a different brand CD. If that still doesn't work, i would recommend buying a new DVD player (unfortunately).
Good luck with your videos!!!

jeff68 is right, take the time to buy a dvd burner and stop trying to burn movies onto cd's. You will most likely continue to have problems - also the dvd player accounts for some of the problem - look for a newer model that has progressive scan capabilities.

I didn't know it was possible to write a dvd movie file to play on a dvd player. I have copied dvd, cd. I have compiled data and video dvd. The difference is that dvd+r is used for new drives and dvd players. DVD-r is used for compatibility with older drives and players. Perhaps the disc you used was not the right one, dvd-r are said to be "slightly" choppy around the edges, but not much to affect it. Check what discs your drive and player can have. Check to see what type of disc you are writing: data, audio, video. Check to see the space on it and the maximum speed it can write. Good luck. Hope this helps.

It doesn't matter that it is greater than 70 min. To solve this problem, try writing VCDs and MP3s on low speed (preferable 12 or 8 X) and also use good quality CDs.

The cd Burning mode should be vedio/ super vedio.
In the nero options select the cd width as more then 70 min.
then again burn.

If you have a good Nero you have an option Make A Video CD or(VCD) and Make A Super Video CD (SVCD) Try using one of those options!

Get VLC player, its plays ANYTHING even the most messed up file.
Get DVD Santa, I've used Nero, and had some problembs but now im using DVD Santa for 3 months now and havnt had one
Also check your burner DVD-R or if its a DVD+R
And make sure you got the right disc

You need to buy a DVD burner, otherwise u will probably continue to have compatibility issues( to much compression), and with that much compression I gotta think the quality probably sucks. DVD burners for computers r pretty cheap. Even stand alones aren't to much.
