My Dvd's won't play correctly anywhere

[jessegoessouth]

I burned a file around 700MB large on to a Verbatim DVD+R blank DVD with Nero (version 6, I think), and it won't play anywhere. It does not play in my PS2 or my normal DVD player. When I play it on my computer, the sound is fine, but the picture is split up into sections and the sections are switched around. So I really can't watch it anywhere, and I've wasted three blank DVDs on this project. I converted my avi to a format compatible with Nero, and nothing reads it correctly. It says that it burned successfully, so can somebody please help me with what I'm doing wrong?

They probably aren't compatible with + media

Nero has a tendancy to encode things badly, like that. Without wanting to go into too much detail myself I recommend you visit the doom9.org and afterdawn.com guide sections for some good avi->dvd-r tutorials.

Yes I always encode video to whatever format before I burn with nero. If you leave it up to nero there's no telling what you'll get.
