  1. Hey All.
    Forum Virgin Here.
    Please be gentle.

    Anyways, I have got the ripping/encoding process down pat with my DVD back-ups but every time i burn my DVDs to blanks and I go to watch them on my DVD player they play fine for about 3/4 of the way thru. When the movie is nearing the end of the disc it starts pixelating and all sort of crazy stuff starts happening. I'm playing this on a Hitachi DVD player and when I play it on my Xbox it can sometimes freeze the entire Xbox altogether.

    It wrecks the back-up becoz how annoying is it to watch the movie only to have it stuff up when it nearly reaches the end.

    Does anyone know of why this would happen and how I can fix this? Thanks in advance.

    Sketch.

    Have you tried different media? Another thing to try with your present media is to make the video file smaller so you don't burn too close to the disc maximum. Next thing is to do a forum search here for similar problems. Also it would help to tell what programs you are using to rip, encode and burn.

  3. I'm using DVD Shrink to rip and encode the Movies and I'm using Nero 6 to burn the movies back to Disc.

  4. I also had a hitachi dvd player. I think people are sometimes too quick to say "it's bad media". I have ritek dvd's and they didn't play very well on my old hitatchi dvd player, but the ones I tested work fine on my new sony. It may be a matter of bad media, but for the most part I think it is the sensitivity of the laser, but I could be wrong.

    I'm not saying go out and buy a new dvd player, but I will test out the theory a little more. Something to think about anyways.

    Later

    <update> Just tried another dvd that wouldn't play properly on hitatchi (skipping/artifacts last 1/3 of movie) and it played fine on New Sony.
