Playback of backup DVD's

[Jspann]

I just backed up a couple of my DVD's. I am playing them back on a Mitsubishi progressive scan player. It does not play well, it skips alot and freezes. The player manual says it will play DVD-R.
Does anyone have a suggestion on a good progressive scan player that will play these?

Thanks

John

Off the top of my head it sounds like bad media. Have you tried a different brand of disc?

It has nothing to do with your dvd player (although some players are more sensitive to disc errors than others).

as Capmaster said it is a media problem.

Thanks for response. Yes, I have used Sony and Fuji.
I should also have noted that if I play these back on my wife's toshiba, non-progressive scan "el cheapo", they play flawlessly.

Well maybe it is the player then.

Sounds like thumbs up for the cheap players. What's the point of paying big bucks for a top brand DVD player if they don't play what you want , when you want ?
