zizu_34, Many times it is the result of cheap media - Let’s get your media straightened out - 1. Cheap media skips, freezes, fuzzes, pixelats, refuses to be recognized, partially jams and of course, our good old standby, either doesn’t burn or doesn’t play at all :-( Cheap media is great for text, Data, Spreadsheets, .Jpg and .Gif pictures and is good even for MP3 music BUT for DVD backups - BLAaaaaaT! It SUCKTH in an extremely great way ! 2. A top grade media is needed for DVD reproduction ! Ritek G04's or Verbatim are what we’re looking for OR any media boasting “Advanced AZO Metal Dye”, this indicates a superior dye application, while they are a bit “pricey” they are acceptable. Prices online from Meritline.com have gotten Ritek G04 to around a dollar a disc - Question - If you make coasters out of 3 cheap discs and good copies from 3 Verbatim discs or 3 Ritek G04 discs - which ones then are too expensive ? SECOND - DVD Xcopy is a fussy program to say the very least. After changing media run down this list and see what you have to do - http://dvdxcopy.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/49908 When you're totally frustrated, come on back and we'll hook you up with some free programs that will work great for you Anyway, Welcome to our little Club ) Pete
