A friend asked me to try to fix a problem he had. He has a PAL dvd of an audience-shot REO show. After using IFOedit to "change" this to NTSC for him, I burned a copy in Nero Express and Nero verified it as OK.

I try to play this in my stand-alone Sony and it will totally freeze evry couple of minutes but then resume playback by itself if left alone only to freeze again a minute or so later. It will continue to do this all through-out the dvd. I burned a 2nd copy just in case it was bad media only to have the same result.

I have never had a problem with playback on my Sony for any other dvd's I "changed" from PAL to NTSC using IFOedit so I don't suspect that is the problem.

Does anyone have a clue what might be happening here? Is it just a crappy source dvd? The source dvd my friend gave me is a dvd-r, he couldn't play it because it's PAL so I told him I should be able to "change" it to NTSC.
