It's hard to say, but maybe a little more info might help to pin it down. Please answer the following questions: 1) What is your exact brand and model DVD player? Sorry if you posted it earlier and I missed it. 2) What brand of CD-R are you using? 3) What is your source you are encoding from? AVI? DivX? Other? 4) What brand and model is your CD burner?

Your player might not like your media. Have you tried burning to CD-RW? Also, try playing it in a PC and see if it plays all the way through. If it does, that would at least verify that you made it correctly, although I suspect you did. Finally in a few cases people have had better results burning at lower speeds. You might also try burning at 4X or lower and see if the problem goes away.
