Pioneer 108D problems!

[richbell]

Hi all,

I have got Pioneer DVD writer with P3 800/256MB system. when i wrote some DVD (Region/CSS free) movies with Nero i got the message its done successfully. But when i viewed the movie it worked for the first 10 mins then stopped. Could someone let me know what the problem is? Internal file system and file size everything seems to be fine. Machine didn't hang up also (only the movie hangs.) I am not able to scroll beyond that section. And Menus don't work. This is my first DVD writer and i bought it after lot of R&D from this site. Please some one could tell me what's the problem (i also used the same speed of DVD-R blank disks, i.e 4x) Even then i face the same problem

What type of Media are you using? Sounds like bad media. Here's a link to info on the different media.

Hi Man,
Yeah, even i feel its probably those promotional discs creating this problem. I don't remember the brand, will find out and reply tommorow. Thanks for the reply, excellent link.

Probably the media. Also, maybe attempt to burn w/ DVD Decrypter instead of Nero.

No, I don't think problem is with NERO. Its one of my favourite, anyway its Memorex Disks that i used bought from U.S(through on-line purchase). You heard of it? Is it a good brand? i still got 20 DVD's i am scared to write.

Get DVDDecrypter and see what type the Memorex really is?

I will do that, BTW can anyone tell me how a copy protected DVD behaves when copied? like what kind of messages displayed or will it say copied successfully but won't work? i want to know how the message will be..

If you use Decrypter, Shrink, or AnyDVD, you won't get any messages related to copy protection and the disc will play fine. The only message I ever get is the occasional 'what region' for rce protected discs. Choose what ever region the disc actually is and it will remove that too.

Finally i got it done. The problem was with the Nero i used. It works on Intervideo DVDCopy 2. Though it says it copied successfully with nero i am surprised why i am geting problems like this.. BTW may i know which is by far the best DVD mastering software? I mean with all feautures and a user friendly rock solid interface...
