  1. I've backed up several movies without much trouble. I use a combination of Ripit4me, DVD Shrink, and now Imgburn. My question is: if after I've ripped the movie to my hard drive and I can play the vob or iso image without problem on my computer but the burned disc skips or freezes, the problem is likely a bad burn or disc, correct? I recently bought some Memorex discs and think this is when I noticed the problem.

    Thanks

    Memorex media is very bad. A few years ago before I knew better I bought some and got angry because 3 or 4 discs out of a pack of 25 were coasters. Take a look at

    for more info. I stick to Verbatim, although I just bought some Taiyo Yuden DVD blanks by mail order and they seem as good as everyone claims.

  3. Bad media, most likely. On jman's link above, click on Blank Media Quality Guide. Get a utility that can retrieve the MID (media i.d.) of your discs, like DVDIdentifier, DVDInfo, etc. Then compare to the list, I'm betting what you have is 3rd-class media. Memorex is notorious for outsourcing crap media. BTW, I use Verbatims, they're fine. Good luck.
    Pull! Bang! Darn!
