Making duplicates of wedding dairy on DVD

[andylouie]

After capturing and everything else done [create, edit, encoded, create Video/Audio TS, and image] test it works on most players but problem is when buring the DVDR from the image using DVD Decrypter [from suggestions from members here that it will be most compatible with most player] 3.160 or something [newest] but 1/2 way through of 90% sometimes it hangs.... why is that so. This happens sometimes [about 30-60%] and other times it is ok ? I am using Windows 2000 w/SP=2. The drive is a Firewire 1394 drive. I had no issues when using nero [newest one] to create DATA disk but when buring an image or ISO file it hangs sometimes but not all the time. What can I do to eliminate this ? As it cause quite a bit of cost for us. I am using DVD Decrypter 3.160 or nero 5.10 and win2k and ImgTool [newest]. They are wedding library made from Betacam SP.

Milk, yoghurts, cream and other such dairy products and hardware don't mix - keep them seperate at all times !

Sorry, couldn't resist. Slow day at work. You know how it is.

Seriously, since it doesn't hang at the same point every time I'm wondering if it's hardware related. I have seen similar problems caused by faulty / insufficient power supplies, iffy connectors, faulty IDE cables and memory that's on the edge.

Does the problem only show up when recording ? Did the problem arrive with the writer ? If so, think cables and / or power supply.

Try using the image with another application - I think all the authoring programs out there should be able to burn an ISO image.
