Freezing/stuttering problem? Bad burn, media?

[vvrok]

I burned a copy of my daughter's Cinderella to a DVD-R that came with 4x Cendyne drive (Pioneer-105). I used DVDDecrypter (main movie only), DVDToolbox, and Prassi PrimoDVD. I tried playing the disk in my CyberHome CH-300 standalone and the movie started playing great. Then somewhere in the middle of the movie the disk started stutterring/freezing. It appears to be at random. If I skip a chapter and then go back, it will still stutter, but not necessary in the same place. What would be the cause of this? Is that a bad burn? Bad media? (What media is included with Cendyne drives anyway?) Can somebody help me?

Anyone? That's my first burn. Shoud I blame the DVD player? The DVD-R media? The burner?

Try playing the DVD-R on a different player or your computer. On your standard player, if the playback is having problems in different spots of the movie, then I tend to think that your player may not like the specific media or may not even be able to play DVD-Rs at all. You can check its compatability on the menu on the left (Other - DVD Players).

Does the disk work in your DVD-ROM ? (or burner) if not then it's a rip problem.. if yes, it's most likely a media problem

It did play the end of the movie on my PC using the same Pioneer DVD-RW I used for burning. I got the CyberHome CH-300 DVD player at RadioShack yesterday. It is adverstised as compatible with almost everything. I specifically asked the guy at the store to connect the player to a TV and put my DVD disk. The disk strated playing jsut fine, so I bouth the player. As I said earlier, half of the moview played beautifully at home and then it started stuttering/freezing at random. Does it sound as a bad media? (What media is supplied with Cendyne?)

use DVDinfo to know the mdia

did you burn it on RW or on a -R ? My DVDplayer don'T like -RW (even if it's compatible)

Likely it was a problem between the media and the player if a new player plays it. Some players just seem to like some brands of media better then others. Some will not play some brands at all sometimes.

Pausing/Stuttering is media related in some form or another 95% of the time.

Well, I've just downloaded ADVDInfo. Apparently the disk that was included with Cendyne/Pioneer DVD-RW was 1x Princo DVD-RW. I checked responses about this media and they are not favourable. Also, I might have burned the disk at 2x because I selected Max speed when burning using PrimoDVD. Does it look like it is the bad media? Anybody else had problems with burning/playing Princos that were later succesfuly resolved by using a better quality media?

You get what you pay for if you buy cheap you get cheap ,try buying better media ,tdk,fuji,memorex,etc and you will see a big difference.

1x Princo DVD-RW.

Hahaha you found the problem. Princo disk are horrible ! and 1X RW are even worst.

[vvrok]

Thanks! I'll try burning another movie using a better quality media. Hopefully it will prove that the initial problem was with the Princo disk and not with my DVD player. (I really like this CyberHome CH-300 player. It is one cute little beast! I tried playing a VCD CD-RW disk on it last night and it played flawlessly. If DVD issues are resolved I am planning to keep it.)

My Pine 4X DVR-105 came with 2 disk. a ritek 4x -r (yummy) and a Princo -RW which I promply chunked.

So yeah some of the rebadgers have interesting choices in media.

[jeepee]

Guys, I'm having EXACTLY the same problem: DVD-R freezing after a while.
Pioneer 105 also.... and I've tried different DVD Player, different Media, different speed....

Any suggestions ?

Is the new firmware solving the problem ?????

Thanks for you help !

[jeepee]

Guys, I may have found the solution to my problem: NERO

I've done some copies with DVDRecord Max and guess what: no freeze !
