Software, Computer or Stand-alone player Problem?

[twosocks]

I've backed up a total of 6 of our many DVD's, using one or the other combinations of software (OSeX, DVDBackup, DVD2OneX & DVDRemaster). I've been pleased with the results so far, however the last disc I worked with plays fine on the computer (OS 10.2.8, Pioneer A04) but on our player in the entertainment center it comes to a point during the movie where it stops for second or two then plays for a couple of seconds then stops again & starts again. On and on and on. Since I can't get it to duplicate the problem on the Mac, is this a problem with the player?

its the media

what type are you using?

computers are notoriously forgiving with cheap crap media
standalone players are not

to say out of the 6 5 works so its got to be good media is incorrect
thats a 1 in 5 ratio bad disks. Take 100 disks thats 20 disks that are bad

get my point?

if its cheap media, try going with some more solid media.

[i know this because this was how it was for me in the begining. I went for the cheapest stuff i could find. Now i get TDK almost exclusively. Never ever had a problem like that ever again.]

The brand was SONY

I've only had the burner about 2 weeks and have used either SONY or MEMOREX, whatever I was able to pick up at the local Wal-Mart. This was my first problem disc.

Maybe I shouln't have ordered a 50 pack of off-brands, from Supermedia Store. Talk about cheap, these were less than .65 each, in bulk.

Do you have a preference in either DVD2OneX or DVDRemaster?
I've used both but cannot really tell a difference.

I have been having the same problem on some of my burned disks when playing in my Sampo DVD player. Last week I got an external LaCie 8x firewire drive. I have re-imaged some of the problem disks to file and then re-burned them using the LaCie. So far the new disks play just fine even though they were imaged from the stuttering disks. I had been using TDK 2x DVD-R, which I think is pretty good media. My internal superdrive (Matshita U-815) had a pretty high write fail rate and I think that the stuttering disks were just bad burns. It didn't seem to matter which firmware I used on the U-815. I haven't seen a difference as far as DVDRemaster vs DVD2oneX as far as stuttering or whether it was a full disk or movie only copy. Most of the disks I burned at 1x.

I second Master Galactica on this...

I've had the same stuttering stop problems on
CompUSA branded silver discs ( 1 out of 3 ratio to ten pack)
and now, Samsung Be-All's ( 1 out of 4 to 25 spindle)
Have to admit it Galactica is right...use either Apple branded
( 0 out of 5 ratio, per five pack) or TDK branded media.
I'm switching to TDK and then I'm going through to re-burn my
problematic discs. Sucks because the "cheap crap media"
easily bypasses on the internal Superdrives, but my RCA 5240's
are UNFORGIVING on these types of discs....
I guess the adgae is true..you get what you pay for.
