I am using datawrite 4x dvd-r's to burn my dvd's and i have been having problems with some of the discs freezing? I use dvd x copy platinum to rip and nero to burn! I can't understand why it only happens on some discs and not on others? Do the originals have to be fingerprint and scratch free? would this cause it to happen even if it doesn't freeze on the original? I just read about aspi drivers too, i'm on xp, could this be the problem? Oh, and i'm using a freecom 4x burner too, which my computer reads as an nec burner? could this cause a problem? Thanx for any help anyone can give me on this problem, it's driving me mad! I also used dvd shrink to rip, with same problems!
hi, I as well as a lot of other people have asked the same question with no reply, ive copied films that ive downloaded and they can freeze also yet the sound still carrys on, ive heard of a repair program that i think sort this problem out, but i dont know what its called. ive had my question on here for 3 days and no reply, ive seen the same question that was closed after 45 days with no replys!! If you find out any info please post it on here, i will do the same and if anybodys got any info,,, please help,,,this is very frustrating.
ya, i just posted this same question. it drives me crazy. all the people i know that do this have never had this problem, so whats different with what i am doing. hopefully someone can help.
Scratches and fingerprints on the original can cause problems on copies. If it can't be read and ripped properly it can show up on the backup. Sometimes it caused by over compression of longer movies to fit the smaller blank media. Sometimes just poor media. You may have to try different brands of media to find one brand that your burner and player like better. A lot of variables. Some stand alone players don't like paper stick on labels. They will cause freeze up sometimes. It just takes time to find the right combo to work. I know this isn't much help but its how you play the game. Jerry
Also, I don't use XP (didn't like it), but I think there is a problem that it doesn't have the aspi drivers. So you have to download it. Should be a link on here somewhere. Check koola's guide site. I think he has a link. Jerry
well this is what i tried last night. i was having problems with my memorax discs in my pioneer dvd player so i tried them in my jvc player and they worked fine. so i then reburnt the movies using verbatam discs and they worked perfect in my pioneer player. so i guess i would say that its just certain brands of discs dont like certain brands of players.
When it comes to playing backups in stand alone players, the + - issue is important. Most older players (2-3 yrs old) only like -R media. Some of the newer ones will play both. There is a good section on both players, writers and media compatability at www.dvdrhelp.com Its a good place to check and see what your machines like best. jerry
