Jumping DVD playback...

[proctor]

Hi everyone Been a while since I last asked for help on the board ... so here I go again

I have the Original "The Goonies" on DVD. It became scratched and I'm afraid it'll stop working ... so I want to make a backup.

On my DVD player and my DVD drive it works great. No jumps or anything like that.

I tried using CloneDVD2 to burn a copy and the copy, played back on my DVD player is jumping on 30min:10sec. I was thinking that maybe it was the DVD Media, so I tried another go at burning it... again, same jump at 30:10min.

I tried watching the DVD with PowerDVD on my DVD drive, works great, not jumps anywhere.

I then was thinking to try and extract the DVD files using CloneDVD2 and then burning the DVD using Nero6... same jump on my DVD player and, again, works great using PowerDVD on my DVD drive.

I tried using PowerDVD to playback the movie from the DVD files on my HD, works great, no jumps.

You might say it's my DVD player, but then again, why would it jump at the same 30min:10sec position... on every DVD-R I burn on?

I'm using a Sony DRU-510A firmware 1.0f

Any ideas?

Hehe... I'm sorry mate
Here I was thinking that someone had something to tell me... and yet it was just you telling me that I made the post in a diff place from where I was suppose to place it... hehe.

Thanks for the move.

Cheers.

It sounds like the damaged part under a scratch is being copied also. You might try cleaning the original disc and maybe try to polish out any really nasty scratches using tooth paste, scratch remover for CD's or whatever works for you and recopy. Unfortunately, it sounds like you would have to go through the same process as before and risk another coaster. Another alternative is using DVDshrink or DVDdecrypter to rip.
