Burning Problems

[jayndenver73]

I am making my own DVD's using Sony's DVD Architect 2.0. I only build with this program. I then use Nero or DVD Decrypter to burn the VIDEO_TS folder or the ISO file. I am using BEALL 4x DVD-R general disks with a Pioneer A07XL.

A disk that is 4.35 large burns in 15:05 minutes and does so with no errors.

Normally I have two 45 min shows on each disk with 5 chapters each. The first plays fine, all chapters. The second plays up until the 5th chapter. The last 2 or 3 mins of the disk breaks up. It stops and jumps, and then just stops. I have tried it on all kinds of players, and it does it on all of them.

Any help would be great.

Crappy media,buy a better brand such as maxell made in japan.

Yes, bad media for sure. Bad media shows its ugly face at the outer edge of the disc (if not before) - the last part of the video. Either find better media, or keep the video down to something like 4.2 GB

Thanks so much. I was kinda wondering if it was the media. I had no problems burning smaller files (4 gigs) in size with these. What media would you suggest I switch to?

I am looking for a huh printable media. I was looking at Verbatim (94495) 4X DVD-R or Ritek Ridata G05 8X DVD-R.

Also I have read alot about Taiyo Yuden being the best, but I wasn't able to find any inkjet printable disks. Do they make them, or are they just thermal.

Thanks again for all your help.
