I have been backing up DVDs for about 2 months now and thought I was getting pretty good but I have now just run into this problem, only with 2 movies so far. First was Akira, I re-coded with DVD2SVCD and burnt it with Maestro (switched to 16:9), it plays fine for about an hour then starts to pixel badly. I reburned but forgot to switch to 16:9 and it plays stretched, but after switching setting on my TV/DVD it plays perfect end to end. Then I tried XXX, it didnt require recoding so I ripped the audio and video with DVDdecryptor and remuxed with IfoEdit as I usually do, it plays perfect on the PC but goes crappy on my standalone after about an hour. I reburnt with Maestro, hoping my Akira error fix would help, but now the picture is stretched and it still goes choppy after an hour. All of these discs play fine on the PC. Akira I fixed, but XXX no luck. Any Ideas? I am using a 104 with Shincos, and Nero, which I haved used successfully for about 50disc to date.
