LG 4120b Skipping and pausing alot anyone else get this ?

[Scottie]

I used to have a LG Multi drive that worked great with Memorex and Maxell DVD media but I recently upgraded everything on my computer and also got a New LG 4120b Drive for it and since then using the same media I've been getting alot of skipping and freezing I just updated the firmware to A112 just tonight so I'm not sure if this fixed it or not but I've been using only DVD-R 's to and getting these problems do you think switching to DVD+R would help or should I only buy great media ?

Let me know what you guys think please and thank you !

take a look at the LG forum at cdfreaks.com and post your questions there. http://club.cdfreaks.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=30&f=91

or you can post questions at cdrlab.com

i don't think changing dvd media would be the answer to your problem but it could also be the software you're using to backup your dvds. Posting the software that you use would be helpful for others to help you sort your problem.

I used to use Clone DVD to burn but switched to Nero around the same time I got my new burner, maybe thats why.

I'm going to switch back to cloneDVD.

why does it have to be so hard.

I used Nero too, maybe that was it. Then again I use Nero with the NEC and everything works flawlessly.

I think I know why all the troubles tell me what you think.

My old burner I only used CloneDVD then I got my new one and switched to Nero I use shrink and Reaurthur just the main movie and take all the extra Audio and save it as an image.

then I use Nero and burn the image to disc but I have to choose all files before it sees the image I think this is way all the bad burns.

what do you think ?

Going to buy a 25 Spindal of Merorex tomorrow and test it out.

I just had someone else tell me that some of the LG discs pause and skip. I think it's just an inferior burner. No one has ever had any problems with discs from the NEC. The LG discs used to take awhile to scan sometimes when I'd put them in a player, the NEC discs scan almost instantly.
