Somthing Bad

[nutt318]

OK, I ordered a pack of 50 dvd-r from supermediastore.com and they are the riteck g03. I have used this type of media before and they play perfect. Anyways I just got done backing up 5 of my movies with the new media from supermediastore.com, and I always skip to the last few chapters of the movie and watch it to see if it plays ok. Well all of theys block up and skip. It freezes and all kinda of stuff buy still plays. Im about about to go to best buy or comp usa and pick up some other media to see if thats the problem. Anyone else have any ideas?

I am guessing that you might have used overburn when you made the disk, if so, it is probably the media. Some media, depending upon what materials are used to make the disk do not respond very well to this.

I didn't think it was possible to use overburn on a DVD. Am I mistaken?

I would pick up another brand of DVDs and try them.

[tompika]

I think j1d10t is right.

I've never had success when trying to overburn DVDs.

weeyoo, have you?

Must be the media...

well I bought some new media, a 25 pack of fujifilm. Anyways I burnt two more with the ritek media. Works fine now. I must of got a couple of crappy disk's or somthing. Owell I think I got it figured ou now

I had a pack of 15 Verbatim 4x DVD-R that did the same thing near the end of the movie. My solution was to use these discs only up to 4GB and not burn near the outter edge of the disc.

[nutt318]

Yeah, my movies crap out towards the end of the movie. This pisses me off now, because I bought a 50 pack. Anyways im gonna try to burn some on the fujifilm. Hopefully that works.

Very strange that you are having problems with ritek disc. Have you checked to make sure they didn't switch the disc on you for another brand?

[MOVIEGEEK]

I'm with Bob W,keep the VIDEO_TS folder under 4GB and most problems are solved.You won't miss 380MB,it's only about 500kbps less video.

[nutt318]

Yeah, Ive checked them with dvddecypter and there the G03 dvdr's but ill guess ill try to keep them under 4 gig. I have been using dvd2one and it works great. Should I use DVDShrink? Anyways ill keep trying stuff.

THanks

I've figured out what is wrong.....if this helps...it's not your media. I went into the folders that contained the files and found out that it does chop and/or skip at the end. It is because of the amount that it is compressed down too. I will try more compression later to see, but I'm pretty sure it is that. Hope this helps. Holla

How has that got anything to do with it ?

All adding more compression at the end of the title is going to do is lose you quality and slow the average bitrate down - if the disc is unreadable near the end, trying to get the data off of it at a slower speed is going to make a negligable difference if any. DVD players regulate the speed of the disc and utilise a small buffer to try and keep the data flow at a consistent rate to the decoders - slowing the bitrate down will not greatly assist the error correction mechanism.

Unless you mean by increasing the compression you want to avoid burning close to the edge ?
