DVD back up keeps freezing

[bratman]

Hi I have been backing up my own dvd's for a while. Recently I have encountered problems when playing my back ups. All throughout the films it keeps freezing for a short period and then carries on and then gets worse and more frequent as the film play.

I have tried encoding with shrink and recode but get the same results. I have been using Ritek g04 with and have recently upgraded to Nero 6.3.1.25 the burner I use is a NEC 1300.

Could it be the version of Nero or a problem with my burner. I also notice it stalling on my PC as I thought it might be my standalone DVD player.

it sounds like a problem with your media...

I also suspect it is your media. I had some ritek g04 that I bought a month ago. I burned them with a nec-3500 drive at 8x and got skipping/freezing. I slowed down the burn to 2x and they burned fine. So with a NEC-1300 there is not much room to slow down, but if you can, you should try it for one and see if this solves the problem.

Not the burner unless it's going bad, mine does perfect burns every time and it's pretty heavily used.
