    I suppose I should start from the begining. I have been using clonedvd2 to make my backups using very cheap blank dvd+r media. The backups were completed succesfully but when I to play them on my stand alone dvd player it would either not play at all showing a 'no disc' message or it would play but with slight pauses and skips happening constantly.

    I thought the problem could be down to the blank dvds i was using so I decided to get some Verbatim dvd-r discs. I had no luck here because I could not complete the back up process with clonedvd2 and had some sort of I/O or CRC errors. This would happen at exactly the same point on each disc 73%. At this point I also changed to using dvdshrink and dvddecrypter. I should mention that one of the discs that only made it to 73% I could actually play on my stand alone and it played perfectly (but not the whole movie)

    As I had more luck with the cheap dvd+r's I thought that I should try some Verbatim dvd+r's. I had no problem with burning to these discs except I still have the same jumping and pausing occuring through out the movie. So I have come to the conlusion that my dvd burner likes ot burn to dvd+r's. My player doesn't like to play dvd+r's but dvd-r's but my burner does not want to burn to dvd-r's.

    However my burner should want to burn to these disc as it says it should on the damn thing it is an Artec VOM 12E48x and has on it dvd+/-rw drive. I know a possible firmware update could be the solution but I don't know how to do that and the instructrions on the Artec site say you need to do it by making a boot disc but i don't have a floppy drive on my laptop. So I need to figure out how to burn to dvd-r's.

    Thanks for reading my long diatribe of problems. any help/advice would be much appreciated.

    Generally the Jumping and Skipping effect is caused from useing Crappy Media in which case Burning at a Slower speed might help with the Problem....

    I just did a Quick search on the Net about your Drive and You are not the Only person who is Have these same problems, It seems that every one who owns the drive can not get it to work properly..Is there any way you can take it back for an exchange or refund??


    Good Luck
