I c/k my b/u's with dvdrescue and they all have bad sectors some of these play ok but others don't. Some of these play one time and not another. All seem to play well in my pc dvd drive. system specs. atlon 2400xp sony oem dw-u18a 8x burner 512 ddr 40 g hd windows xp All firmware is updated and got express w/ platnium 3.2.1.0 problem seems to be constent with express and advance Thank you I had a skipp and freeze problem with gothika and made new copy this time with dvd shrink it seems to play fine on apex dvd home player. But still reads bad with dvd rescue
hi ronjr it sounds to me like cheap media,try ritek go4 or verbatim. what kind are you using? later jim
fuji's are on the list of the (not so good) media your problems are classic signs of cheap media(some work some dont) ive got a whole bushel basket of tdk's i'll sell ya,lol(also not good media)but i didnt find that out till i found this site. the fact that you say some do work tells me nothing is wrong with what your doing so ...... you fill in the blank good luck jim _X_X_X_X_X_[small]you should never take life too seriously....you'll never get out of it alive!! procrastinate now...dont put it off till tomorrow if you can read this..you dont need glasses.[/small]
