most likely, you've set the quality to be too low... otherwise your video is too long and had to be toned down in quality... if your using a normal 4.7gb disk and try to fit say a 2 hour home movie on.. it will appear to be choppy because the frame rate isn't high enugh... the kbps that you're running at will also decrease resulting in unclear vieo.. try using a 8.5gb dual layer disk and reburn the home video.. make sure the home video uses as much space as possible

I'm burning all of my home movies that I have made since 1987, about 380 all together from VHS to DVD. I have a stand alone DVD Sony DVD burner and connected the VCR to the Sony with "Monster" Brand Cables. A 4.7GB disk will hold 120 minutes of video when the DVD burner is set on "SP" (standard Play mode) if you use the LP mode or EP mode the movement will then become a little jumpy. Check your menu on the DVD Burner and make sure that the setting are correct according to how you have your DVD Burner wired

If your talking about capturing video onto a program such as Pennicle Studio, I've done some of that also. You must check your settings before burning the video onto a DVD. Make sure the drive in the computer whether +/- R/RW is the same as the DVD's you are burning onto and is a good quality DVD like Sony or Verbatim. Also set your capture program to "High Quality".

What programme are you using? When you export from the programme to burn it (if that's what you are doing) you need to have it on the highest setting. Eg a four minute home movie with transitions and music ought to be around 2gb, if your exprted file is much less than this you will not get good enough quality.

EG Finish up your movie in Windows movie maker( or whatever) and exprt as full dv quality (or equivilent) you can then use one of many programmes to convert it to Video TS (dvd format) then bung it into nero or another authoring programme and it ought to come out fine
