i use dvd shrink , nero 6, fuji media (ricoh) have backed up 30 dvds no problem burning first to r/w and checking if the sound etc. is what i want then copy r/w to r have had 3 burn errors in a row copying 2 different movies from 2 different r/ws i went back to my h.d. files and burned the movie no problem (has some pixelation) movie "The Core" other one "basic" have not watched yet any ideas could i just be losing my dvd-rom? thank you for any ideas i dont mind throwing away bad cds but dvds get pricey quick
why do all the extra steps. Why not burn from the hdd to the -r and simplify the process. especially if you keep the files on your hdd. That is a lot of extra steps.
Are you multitasking whilst burning - screen saver etc - recommend not to you unless you have a pc with super specs..... Are you copying rw to r on the fly? I would not recommend this if your burner/media are capable of higher speeds.. If you are using a slower reading disc compared to a higher burning disc, the most common problem you can encounter are buffer under runs - this basically means that the burner HAS TO PAUSE/HOLD in order for the reader to keep up - Your RAM will be filling and emptying but also cannot keep up....... (rw's are slow to read) I have tried this on several occasions from my +rw standalone - to just burn it on the fly and I get buffer underuns..... Don't think your dvdrom is screwed, i think it is down to the chase me syndrome - as in the rw has trouble keeping up with the writer..... If your re-authoring method is good, try just burning directly from the HD to r, you can run it through powerdvd first from the HD to check the audio etc first, after a few, you will not even HAVE TO check them cos it'll become second nature, I think you would benefit more by doing this...... It must be a pain to do an erase all the time on the rw's...... Hope this helps.....
