Skipping, glitches on backups

[Martuk]

Ok, I use DVD Fab Decryptor to rip the DVD, DVD Shrink to compress it and DVD Decryptor to burn the final disc. I use Sony DVD-R 4.7GB discs for my backups.

The problem is, there always (except for two occasions) seems to be one skip in the movie, and a few very small periods of glitch or artifacting that occur on each backup. I thought DVD Fab would solve this but it still happens, and with our newer DVD's it gets a bit worse.

The DVDs work fine on the PC, this only happens in standalone players, so is there something I am doing wrong? Would I be able to avoid this by using a different method? It's only a small problem really and they are just backups, but I'm somewhat of a geek when it comes to this stuff.

slow down your burn speed to 4x. Sucks, but fixes the problem.

haha, it's that simple? hilarious! I'll try that. Thanks for the answer bud

I'd suggest trying some other media - issues like these are mostly down to incompatible / bad media.
Some writers/players simply work better with some and not so good with some media.
Is your Sony branded discs really made by Sony? Check the media code (and www.nomorecoasters.com)
