DVD-R doesn't play corrctly on stndalone player usingDVD2ONE

[incredible]

Hi,

I made a lot of experiences burning DVD-Rs with a MAC.
I reencoded the Movie and burned it to DVD-R using TOAST and I never had problems.

Now I bought a PC, decrypted a DVD-9 with DVDdecrypter and used DVD2ONE 1.1.3 to bring the DVD-9 contents to a DVD-R size using Full Disk Copy Mode.

But if I play the burned DVD-R with my stand alone Player something strange happens: Every 1or 2 minutes the movie and audio stops for 2-3 seconds and contiunues playing!?!?

I burned 2 alternative DVD-Rs from the PC DVD2ONE outputted files, just to see if the burning application is responsible for this:

One using a MAC and TOAST for burning (as I told I never had problems before)

and

one using the PC and NERO (latest version) for burning.

by using both alternatives the video is recognised by the standalone player and it begins to play but also with both alternatives the movie gets the errors mentioned above.

So I come to the conclusion that DVD2ONE manipulates the original badly.

Could this be true??


Help me, I want to watch continous playing movies !!!!! (((

Ive had some similar problems you could try using DVDShrink to copy the video to fit on your DVD-R found here http://www.dvdr-digest.com/software/software.php?file=dvdshrink also make sure you are using nero 5.5.10.7 the prior versio had problems with DVD burnig I use the above no problems.
It does as you say sound as if problems are occuring in the rip process, well thats were i would start. you could also try playing it on another DVD player to rule out foul play with your DVD player.
Give DVDShrink ago it takes around 15-60 minutes to shrink the DVD then burn as usual.

I've done probably 30 movies with DVD2One and every single one plays perfectly.

Are you using the same media?

Yes, same Media, on the on hand it could be the media quality, but on the other ...... a Member of the doom9.org forum told me that this is a typical buffer underrun error which causes sensible DVDplayers to stop playing for a while as I mentioned above.

Well, ... I will try a different Media and see if it works.

Incredible,

I don't know if you've discovered anything new since your last append, but I sympathize with you whole heartedly here. I bought 10 x Princo and didn't have a problem with them. Sticking with what I believed worked, I then went ahead and bought a spindle of them, only to get the type of symptoms you've described here. Worse still, I only discovered this after several discs, as the problem was manifest after the first half of the DVD.

I'm trying with a different brand tonight, and will post in here how I go.

Meth.

Well, exact in this moment I'm burning a 1:1 copy to another Media-Brand.

The problem of the cheap Media Brand is (I also did'd had probs. with Princo) that they always try to offer at lowest prices and so they change their distributors everytime they find one who offers cheaper deals!
The consumer doesn't recognise it by the label of the media, only after burning and afterwards watching the movie at playback.

That's the benefit of for example TDK or other quality brands, they also make deals with differend manufactures but they perform a quality check before offering them on the consumer marked.

So what do we do?!?

The first possibility is to buy TDKs or other quality brands because if you add al the money you spend for low quality ones which won't work (maybe 2 of 10 get failures) you just directly can buy the same amount of 8 TDKs for almost the same price as fore 10 noname product medias + a little more and you know that theese TDKs will work!

Second possibility is if you encounter a cheap media offer, buy one packet, try it and if it works go immideately to the SAME! store and buy all the other packets in the SAME! rack ))))))) then you know that this production serie will work and the next year with your amound of DVD-Rs youre aware of problems.

But don't worry, I think in the next Year also TDK will lower thier prices more and more and then in one time there will be no more discussions which type of Brand you will buy, ... you choose good quality brands!

[incredible]

YO! Now it works!!!!

What I did:

I made an exact on the fly copy of the bad playing DVD-R (brand: INTENSO) to a other cheap media (brand:Conrad Elektronik) using NERO.

And ... it plays continously!!!! No Errors!

And thats the answer, ... some medias are very bad quality.
What I gonna do is to go to my store directly and buy 2-3 more packets with the contend of 25 medias.

So DVD2ONE does a well job!

I changed away from Princo to Conia. Problem has gone. Princo bites. Btw
thanks for your viewpoint on how Media companies are distributing their DVD-Rs.

To hell with Princo.

methd.

Smell like princo problem again... out of 4 burn, I have 3 that skip... (and 15 that I don't even tutch)

Use princo ONLY if you read the dvd in a DVD-ROM (ie: data, divx or other)
