I am trying to back up my DVDs which are movies I bought. They are new too, such as Shreak 3, Live Free Die Hard and many more. Before I do anything, I stop all running processes, such as firewalls, anti virus, and other running programs. I then use DVDFab to make an ISO image out of my DVDs which also removes the copyright features. The image comes out to be like 4.3 Gb because I remove some content, like second languages, special features and sometimes captions as well. I still leave the root menu though. I then use Power ISO to burn the image on a Verbatim DVD with the lowest write speed which is 4x. Once again, before I do that I stop all running processes. Now here is where the problem starts, I then use Nero 7’s CD-DVD Speed 4.7.0.0 to run a Disc Quality Test on the DVD I have just burned. Now, even though I burn the same movie, the results are always not consistent. Sometimes, my DVD comes out with many errors which stop them from playing correctly on my home DVD player. It
Use imgburn to burn iso file, free from www.imgburn.com Best burning prog for iso files. Also check that your verbatims are not made in India, poor qual , best is Verbs from Japan BTW also a multipost, CAREFUL!
Make sure that your hard drive has been defragged . . if your .iso is fragmented at all, it may skip as the burning program has to search for the pieces . . .
I assume it is because I just bought this hard drive maybe a month ago but I am going to give it a try.
