1st-How do I know if a dvd movie is an "episonic" movie? 2nd- What ia an "episonic" movie? 3rd- I can't get Darkness Falls to burn properly, abot 3/4 thru the movie I have pixelation and stuttering that prevents me from seeing the whole movie. Its not the media or my burner, all my other movies are fine. Thanks I appreciate any help.
1 and 2) An episonic movie is one that has multiple episodes on it, like TV episodes. For example, the Simpsons DVD is episonic because it contains all of the episodes of that show. One of the problems with episonics are that the episodes have to be spanned accross 2 disks, and thus the menu doesn't work. Usually you can rip/burn episonics if you skip the menu and all 'extras', and just use your player's >| and |< butons. 3) This is a common problem with burning DVDs, and can be caused by bad source (i.e. a bad rip), by a simple error during burning, or dirty media. First, clean your burned disk and try again (this solves MOST errors!). If that doesn't work, try burning again, this time closing more programs in the background or updating your burning software. If that still doesn't work, re-create your source (however you are doing that).
