I just bought a dvd burner (hp 1040) and it came with nero 7 software. No matter what options I choose, everything that I burn that will actually even play in the dvd player is choppy and poor quality. I am so frustrated. Do I just have my settings wrong? Someone help!!

Do you use record on Write once or re-writable discs?
Some DVD players have a hard time with re-writable DVD-RW or DVD+RW discs.
Is your writer a DVD+R writer? Very old DVD players may have a hard time playing DVD+R disc (check for firmware upgrades for your player).
Does it play OK on your PC? Did you try other players?
Most DVDs are in DVD-video format (avoid -VR or +VR) at about 6 Mbits/s.
If you record at low bit rates (say 2 Mbits/s), the quality will be bad.

I must burned thousand of DVDs to date. I know how frustrating it can be. As simple as burning a disk and playing it may seem , there more to it than just that. There could be more that one thing that could be affecting the quality, you ll need to trouble shoot to determine the problem. First check the quality of the disk. Name brand is better, "TDK","Fuji","Sony", etc. Sometimes trying to save on a cheap no name brand will give bad quality. Also go with "DVD-R" type , that handles burn speeds of 16x.
Second, I not a big fan of "Nero" it hit or miss on performance. The software has too many features that sometime can have bugs that may not do the best job. The simpler the burn program the better job it will do.If you
must use Nero check the settings to the correct "Region", be sure to be in #1. That's for American DVD players and be sure your DVD player is set for NTSC,
In regards to home DVD players the best way to go is
the Asian no name brand models that run about $20-40. These inexpensive models in Asia are designed to play just about any type of DVD format, since piracy is common there. You have an older or expensive DVD player that may cause bad play back. Good Luck.

How old is your DVD player? some of the old DVD players doesn't recognize or work will with new DVD burners format, and some of them will not even play any burned DVD and will only burn original DVD. another thing to consider is that maybe the DVD player you have need to be cleaned, for that try to get a DVD cleaner disk. Good Luck.

You can buy DVD players that do play avi files. Mine does. Just remember to burn the film as a Data Disc, not a video file
