  1. Hey! can anyone can help me work out what is not quite right with my setup?!?

    I have tried creating back-ups using Anydvd & Clonedvd (both latest versions) and also DVDCopy Express 3.02;

    the movies encode & burn fine, but when i play them in both my Xbox and Scan DVD player they whirr up for a while/skip a little/ at the very beginning of the movie.. sometimes they crash with 'disk error' on the DVD player but my Xbox is more patient - eventually they play through OK.

    I have a Pioneer CDRW and a standard DVD drive that I am reading from.
    I am using MIRROR DVD-R media (Tried with +R and they wldnt read in any drive after burnt)

    What do you guys recon??? is it the media? the drive?
    I have tried all the settings on AnyDVD (safe mode, just selecting the 'reader') to no avail.

    Look forward to a reply as i have wasted lots of media

    What type of media is it that you have wasted alot of. Bad media is usually the culprit.

    Doh! I missed that out first time around...sorry.

    Have you tried playing one of them on your HD through WinDVD or PowerDVD?

    This is a link to the media that you use... as far as I can see it doesnt look too good. Try some Ritek, I am sure that 90% of the people here will back me up in saying that they are just about the best that you can get.

    it looks like it could well be the media after reading your link - nice one thanks, will invest in some Ritek media!

    Although I would bet that it works fine on the PC.
