Ripping problems

[Krusty]

Hi,

i get some errors when i'm seeing some films. When the film starts to get to the end of it the image freezes and after one or two seconds continue.

This is very strange because doesn't happen with every film. I still wondering if this happen only when i copy the film from an original or from other backup that i already have. I just remeber this today... so i didn't have time to try it.

I use DVDdecrypter 3.5.0.0, DVDShrink 3.2 and nero 6.3.1.15. Anyone have an ideia of what's happening?!

If anything it sounds like possibly the media you are using.

I'm using Princo, they used to be very reliable!

When i tried to copy some backups, it gives me errors in nero or if i want to copy to disc with dvddecrypter. It's the media to?

I used them 2 years ago with little trouble.

Not any more.

I think they have even dropped from "third-class media" to "landfill candidate" since Lordsmurf last updated this list

I have bought only 2 Princo disks. The first was recorded but failed to verify - and playback. The second was not even recognized as a DVDRW by the recorder.

But then, I use a SONY DRU500A, which will record at 2x on TDK 4x media...

Your problem seems to be the typical outer edge playback problem on cheap media. Or - you may have used adhesive stickers on the disks, did not center them totally and the disks are out of balance.

A common problem with Princo is dye coverage. The outer edge sometimes doesn't get enough dye and it can't write reliably. This sounds like your problem, like Sasi suggests.

I would retry with a reputable media. See Lordsmurf's site for suggestions. A good reliable brand is Taiyo Yuden. Another is Maxell.
