  1. I'm making a backup of "Queen+ Freddy Mercury Tribute". The DVD has PCM audio and DTS, no Dolby Digital. I used IC7 and had to eliminate the PCM track because it was huge, it was calculating 46% of video compression. Once I removed PCM it gave about 67%. One more thing worth noting is that the bitrate of that concert is high, almost superbit.
    Once IC7 finished I burned and tested it on my standalone (Pioneer), and the backup didn't run correctly. The menu runs perfectly, but the concert is extremely messed up, like when you've made a XVCD with a very high bitrate that your DVD can't handle or like you've got heavy rain on your satellite dish.
    Then I burned again the concert on a better DVD-R that always gave good results on my Pioneer standalone and got exactly the same results. I burned another thing on a good DVD-R to test if my burner is working fine and that copy ran ok, so the burner, standalone and media are ok.
    I don't know if the removal of the PCM track affected the playback or if the resulting bitrate is to high for a DVD-R to handle. Which is the limit bitrate a DVD-R can handle?
    Thanks

    IC7 won't, to the best of my knowledge, make a DVD with a bitrate so high that it can't run properly.

    I mean, it only COMPRESSES bitrate, it doesn't EXPAND it, and the original runs, yeah?

    I'd guess that something just got munged up in the transcoding.
