Hello everyone!

I hope you can help me with this problem: I have a minute long Quicktime movie on my desktop and it plays fine. I transferred it to a CD-R Verbatim 52x 700MB and onto a DVD- 16x 700MB and the movie is there but it won't play properly. The video gets stuck but the audio carries on, then the dialogue is out of synch with the speaker, the zooms are horribly jittery. It's a mess! Ahhh!

I work on a G5 with Avid Xpress Pro. For the Export from the Avid, the following were selected:

Quick Time Movie

Use enabled tracks

Use Avid Codec

Custom

Video &Audio

768 x 576 size to fit

601 File Field Order Odd (upper Field...)

Display Aspect Ratio

768 x 576 (4x3 square pixel)

Movie settings

Video 'Compression Sorenson Video3'

quality: best

Frame rate: 25



Sound M-Peg-4 Audio

Sample rate: 44.1khz (Actually, the audio setting in the project is 48khz so is this a problem?)

Sample rate 16

Channel 2

Prepare for internet streaming

Fast start



The file info for the quicktime movie is 318 MB on disk (333,487,038 bytes)

Is it the disk that's too small 700MB because it seems that there is no space left on it even though the film is there in its entirety even though it plays back crazily....

Is it the Export settings which are to blame?

Or is it that the Quicktime Player's settings are different and causing the prob: I can't tell here, but this is what is ticked only:

General: Movies: open movies in new player

Sound: play sound in frontmost player only + play sound when application is in background + show graphic equalizer

Other: show content guide at startup + pause movies before switchng users + hide selection indicator 4 empty selection

Please help!!!! Thank you!
