I have burned a lot of movies in the past and had no problems using DVD Shrink and DVD decrypter.I am now experiencing movies that blip(looks like snow on satellite)then goes away.Next thing I know voices are out of sync.Please any info will be appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out with this problem and I don't have much left
Hi. At what speed are you burning? Post back the actual maker of your media and your burner model and firmware version. Several programs can provide this info. Since you use DVD Decrypter, just use that to get the info. -Set the mode to ISO Write, select your burner as the destination and insert a blank disk. -In the righthand column, the actual disk manufacturer is identified next to Disk ID:. -The burner model and firmware version is the top line in the righthand column.
Here is an image on how to get the Manufactures ID# of the media using DVD Decrypter... Some other tips that could help getting a better backup copy of your movie. 1. Use Quality (Most Compatible) Media. 2. Make sure your DVD burner firmware is up to date. 3. Set the output size in DVD Shrink to 4300. 4. turn off all programs that are running in the background. (Anti-Virus/Security Suites etc. etc.) 5. Do not multitask during Transcoding. 6. Do not burn to slow or to fast. Most recommend you burn no slower then 4x and half the rated speed of the media. So if it is 4x or 8x burn at 4x. If they are 16x burn at 8x. Yes some will disagree with me on some of the information like Output size or burn speeds but that is what I and allot of others on the site recommend.
Hey Laddyboy...thanks for being so fast. I've burned most movies at 16x..the last few were at 8x. I'm using a LG multiDVD Drive/model number HL-DT-STDVDRAM GSA-4167B/firware is DL11...hope this helps...i've seen the window of decrypter you show but I don't seem to bring up that window..DVDFAB decrypter
Hi. DVD Decrypter rather than DVDFab Decrypter is what I was referring to. You said in your original post you used DVD Decrypter so that's why I gave the instructions for that rather than DVD Identifier, Nero InfoTool and others. http://www.filehippo.com/download_dvd_decrypter/ http://dvd.identifier.cdfreaks.com There's considerably newer firmware for your burner, version DL13, available. It'd be a good idea to update to that: http://lgodd.lge.com/fwdrv/DVD-WRITER/GSA4167DL13.exe We still need to know your media manufacturer.
Hi. Prodisc is not very good quality media. Try some Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, or Made in Japan labeled Fuji or Sony disks. As Larrylje suggested a good rule of thumb is to not burn in excess of half the rated speed of the media. So update your firmware from the link provided above and try some decent media burnt at a reasonable speed, as well as pay attention to the other things Larrylje suggested and see if the problem resolves. Let us know how you make out.
When is using 16x speed to burn a DVD bad? Just recently I burned a Ripped 4GB video file at 16x and it turned out perfect. Is there anytime I should watch out when using 16x speed to burn?
@Putemup You are running more of a risk burring at high speeds of getting a backup with disk read errors on it. You lower that risk if you burn at half the speed of the media. This is just some members opinions on how fast you should burn your DVDs. Some say if they are High Quality media then burn at full speed. It is just my preference to burn at half the speed even if they are quality media to lower the risk of having a bad burn. I have come to this conclusion myself because I have had a lower success rate of good burns when burning at MAX speed. So I find myself slowing the speed down to half the rated speed which pretty much rids the backup disc of read errors. I would rather take the time to burn at a slower speed and get great results 99% of the time rather then save time and burn at MAX speed and have a successes rate of 90% to 95%. As to your quote... Just because you have 1 DVD backup that burned perfect at MAX speed doesn't mean you will consistently get perfect backups. The chances runs higher of having a bad burn when burning at MAX speed.
