JVC DR-M10 - prematurely stopping during recording.

[devdev]

im getting extremely worried about my jvc dvd recorder

im using ritek go4 -r x4 discs

based on the 'two hour selection', it has spit out by 10 of my 12 discs so far but somewhat mysteriously after circa 18 mins or so.......!

JVC helpdesk in uk dont seem sure but predicatbly told me to use jvc -r video dvds (and not 'data -r dvds which they said are different)

The shop where i bought it took it back and burnt a disc using one of my riteks for circa one hour!! - they looked at me as if i was making it up!

is it me, the machine my media or what else??

any help/thoughts at all would be appreciated.

Media.

Tell the JVC helpdesk they're morons.

Use any good media. There's no such thing as a data DVD-R or video DVD-R.

Try PRODISC, MCC, TY, MXL, TDK, ... something good.

Lordsmurf is correct, I would try what he said first. That happened to me and I found out that the JVC laser had malfunctioned. I had to take it in for service.

Try a good brand of disk first, if it still doesn't work take the unit in for service.

You can also try using a dvd lens cleaner ,that hgappened once with my panasonic e-80h I cleaned the laser then it worked .

More JVC problems, never ending.

I'd bet my money on "more RITEKG04 problems, never ending".

I do not have any problems with my JVC. Any brand of "-R" and/or "-RW" media that I ever use since I got DR-M10 was accepted and worked fine with no single coster or unit misbehavior.

In my opinion - users create problems by themself because of ..... [too many reasons but all of them are human errors] .... I can admit that the unit itself sometimes can be defective right from the plant and all brands can suffer from that, but in majority cases all problems are result of user-unit wrong or bad interaction and lock of sufficient knowledge.

So, do not say "More JVC problems....", just let say: "More user created problems"
IMHO!!!

Stopping recording after 18 minutes isn't a user problem.

Stopping recording after 18 minutes isn't a user problem.

Search this forum or visit AVSforum and see how many similar complaints you can hear from non-JVC owners.

Like I stated before the same thing happened to me, and it wasn't a user problem the JVC was defective, I had to get it repaired. Yes users can cause their own down falls but this new technology has some flaws that need to be worked out as well.

Most people like us who are using dvd recorders are actually pioneering the way for others. We are beta testing equipment that in the near future will be more polished hopefully somewhat flawless.

my JVC DR-M10 accepts even the Princo DVD-R (1-4x) and they play back nicely on other players
however, my Panasonic DMR E50 does not like Princo, it either refuses at the start or stops recording after a while .... so I only use Maxell or TDK for the Panasonic ; on the JVC I use the Princo only for material that is less important for storage
