    I used smartripper and ifoedit to rip about 4.3Gb and burnt a vdeo DVD using nero 5.9.0.

    Everything is OK until the last two chapters of the movie when the picture breaks up into blocks and freezes. Could this be the cheap media I'm using or is it possible that the rip failed at that point. Maybe someone has seen this sort of thing before, it's my first attempt at DVDs.

    Does it glitch when played on a stand-alone player, on a PC, or both?
    As Churchill famously predicted when Chamberlain returned from Munich proclaiming peace in his time: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war."

    On a stand-alone player. I will have to wait until I get back to the PC to check out that. (I'm somewhere else right now )

    The VOBs appear to be OK and further tests have revealed that the disk plays back OK on the PC. It just gives problems on my Pioneer 444 standalone. Sounds like an incompatibility between the disk brand and the Pioneer.

    I have experienced a similiar problem, using cheaper media, when playing DVD-Rs on my PS2, but I went out and purchased a new DVD player this weekend (Toshiba (can't remember the model # off hand). A scene that skipped and froze on the PS2 works fine on this one.

    99.9% probability of cheap media.

    100% now.

    I dumped the bulkpaq DVDs and tried some others. No failures since.

    They were really bad disks. Fortunately the supplier has taken them back.
