Strange play back

[dave2103]

Hello everyone, I just bought my first DVD burner yesterday, a Pioneer DVR-A07XLA, I did a sucessfull rip & copy of Phoenix nights using DVD Shrink 2 & Nero 6 to burn it, no problems! Today I tried to do a copy of The Hot Chick, I ripped it using DVD Shrink & burned using Nero 6 again, but after burning to disk I found that when I put it in my stand alone DVD player the menus are all there & working fine, infact everything works fine EXCEPT the film itself, when you highlight the "Play" on the screen menu, the film plays as though there were 4 out of every 5 frames missing, it just stutters throughout the whole film! I checked the ripped copy on my PC using Power DVD & it played fine, so I did another copy & the same thing happend again! I could understand if everything was stuttering but not when the extras etc are playing perfectly.

Any advice would be appreciated before I waste more DVD's.

Thanks.

Did you Shrink it as well, or just rip it with Shrink ? If you shrunk it, did you accidentally set the main feature to compress as still pictures ?

The only other thing I can think of is poor media - what do you use ? (This is probably unlikely if your extras are playing OK though)

I put the DVD in & ran DVD shrink, opened the disk & did a deep analysis, saved it to a folder & then burned it. Where do you find the setting for the main feature as still pictures?

Thanks so far.

OK I think the still image setting you refer to is the one under the "Compression Setting" tab, it was set to "Automatic" Would you sugest another burning software?? but that doesn't account for the main film stuttering & the menus being OK!

Right, I found the problem, as I'd just started it was a bit hit & miss, I downloaded DVD Decryptor & ran it through there & up poped a little progress bar & the word "Cracked" so it must have been coded. Well, you live & learn, & the film runs sweet as a nut now.
Thanks for the reply guns1inger
