Choppy outputed DVD

[g_shocker182]

Heres the story:
With one of my DVDs, I used dvd decrypter to decrypt the VOB files to my computer. I then used DVD2AVI to Save the wav sound file of the movie and to make a D2V file. I put those into TMPGEnc and it made me a nice little 4.3Gb MPG movie which I used Sonic DVD to burn onto a DVD +RW. Being this my first try at DVD Ripping, I was throughly satisfied with my illegal activity . But as I got further into watching the burned movie, some points at about 20 minutes in and 30 minutes in and so on gave me abotu 15 seconds of blocky/ choppy video in which my DVD Player would just stop. What I'm looking for is my weakpoint, where something may have gone wrong. If I was doing something on the computer while TPMGEnc was transcoding could that have been the problem? Does this probelm only happen on FUJI DVD+RW's? I'm pretty sure it's not my computer, its pretty new and uptodate. Anyway I love this site and hopefully you guys/gals can help!

It seems most likley a compatibility issue between DVD player and media. Trying a different brand might help but no guarantees.

g_shocker182, I would agree with bugster.
I've had similar problems and it's always been a bad media.
It doesn't mean that the brand you used is uncompatible with your player though; it could just be a bad disc.
I've been using "Datawrite red x4" lately, and two out of a dozen backups have had the symptoms you described. The rest of them were fine.

P.S: did you try and watch the movie on your pc, reading the files you created? It's always a good way to eliminate possible problems.

The media that I used was a Fuji DVD+RW. I chose this kind because from the reviews of my DVD Player in the compatibility section of this website, Fuji had the the least compatability issues. Anyway I will try to redo the project on a Fuji DVD+R, if that works I'll let you know. I also think the problem might have originated if I was doing something else on my computer while TMPEnc was doing something or while it was being written by Sonic. Thanks for all your responses!

Absolutley no way multitasking on your computer will interfer with TmpGencs encoding process. Whilst writing the disk, I seriously doubt this is the problem either, though I suppose it is a small possibility.

bugster, I suppose this reply comes from experience.
Do you know if multitasking interfere with CCE?
Wouldn't accessing the hard-drive while encoding somewhat mess up the backup?
The reason I'm asking is I use DVD2DVD-R / CCE / ifoEdit.

Thanks in advance,
