Haveing problems burning this.... I have tried DVDShrink (It wouldnt shrink enough) so I just did the movie, but when burning, it froze up....Clonedvd, same deal. Then tried Nero recode, did just the movie, copied it, but it wouldnt play properly (kept freezing & skipping)..
The most likely cause is the media you're using. Other causes can be a fragmented drive. Always defrag when working with video files. Your burning speed can also be a factor. Your firmware may need updating. Some burners burn certain media better than others. Do a search on your burner to find what type of media your burner works well with. Mulit-tasking is a no no. Try to close any unneeded programs running in the background as they can interfere with the burning process. Try to do your burning when you know that no other programs will launch. Nothing like burning a disc when Windows decides it's going to update your pc or when your virus program is going to do an automatic scan. Your memory and free disc space are also very important. Do a cleanup often to keep plenty of space free.
Dialysis1 gave very good advise..... but some movies have encryptions that Shrink and Nero and CloneDVD alone can't handle ..... shows empty cells and "not compressable" that add too much to the structure of the DVD and it becomes too large..... Alkohol has a beautiful guide on this very instance..... follow his instructions: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/293994http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/293994
Forgot to mention also running anydvd........ Just bought Taiyo Yuden dvd-r and havent had a problem with them. Have burned at least a dozen prior to Lilo with no problems....
did you follow my advise above? AnyDVD and CloneDVD should have done the trick for Lilo & Stitch! unless you don't have a legitimate AnyDVD! If you are using a crack then problems eventually happen..... if you have a legitimate AnyDVD then make sure you have the update to 6097. Nothing special about Lilo & Stitch! You should have had no problems with this movie with those programs. what is your make and model # of your burner and what speed is the Taiyo Yuden disks? are they 8x or 16x disks. Maybe I'm not understanding your problem correctly...... are you having trouble transcoding or burning? if it's transcoding problem then I would use the guide above.... if it's a burning problem and you get skipping and you're using good media.... then I would think that you are burning the disks too fast or too slow or there is a compatibility problem.
Ihoe, Followed Alkohol guide and everything was fine untill I had to open the file....both Shrink & nero say encountered an error, failed to open file ........ The thing I dont get is I have never, ever had a problem with copying discs, and all of a sudden this one disc is a problem....I've copied others while waiting for advice on Lilo and had no problems at all!!!
sounds like you have a bad press! take back that movie to the store and get another copy! then try again! you'll see it should work just fine.
