band of brothers problems

[tonyburns]

hi
any1 had any problems with band of brothers
my backup copies were fine a few months ago
now the pictures are breaking up and the disc is skipping
any ideas why this has started happening
the whole boxset like that
the discs are in great condition

[andkiich]

Sounds like a media issue. Have you backup up anything else on this discs and if so, are they as old or older than the BoB backups? That might be the only way to tell, unless you have other DVD players to test the discs on.

Thats enough to make a man cry; I love my Band of Brothers Collection.

No problems. Did you try them in another player?

Greetings,

What is the brand name of your DVD media?
I am doing a lot of researches since 2-3 weeks and I figured out (Thanks to many people here and especially thanks to lord smurf) that some cheap media don't last and you lose the data on the dvd.

Many readings tend to say to go with RITEK and OPTODISC for cheap media. For a comprehensive guide, go to lordsmurf site and read his guide on dvds. It is one of the best I read.

Thank you

ive backed up over 100 of my movies on the datawrite aka princo dvds
its just bob that gave my problems

If you go back and check a lot of your dvds youll have problems. I burnt over 100 princos and am just now having problems (including BOB). Now that im on Riteks there is no problem at all.

I started with Retek and have done close to 250 burns. I only have had 4 problem burns, one was a bad disk, 2 I used the computer during the burn, and the last looks like the computer restarted in the middle of a burn.

I know there are cheaper options but I see no reason to experiment. I buy 100 at a time and like knowing that it will work.
