DVD backups not working!!

[BLACKGHOST]

Some DVD's I find you do a backup of them and then try and copy that backup. Then when you play it in your DVD some lock up when playing and others and fine. I use the same thing such as using NERO and do them on 2x speed 4x etc. Is there a way to prevent this or is there a clich somewhere???
:confused:

BLACKGHOST,

try to burn at 2x, also test it on your PC before you burn it out.
some movies, when you are editing the IFO files, it will not play.

Many dvd players are not fully compatible with certain dvd recordables.

You can check many dvd players here:

You may wish to check that it plays on your software dvd player on your computer. If so the burn is alright, but it still might not play on your standalone player.

What media are you using as freezing and dodgy playback can normally be associated to either the media (generally) or the player

[BLACKGHOST]

use princos all the time. dont have a problem. Just happens to be the odd one or two movies that wont work.

[Oriphus]

Are you running any programs on your computer that may have caused a problem when burning? My guess is that it will be the media. To have one or two problems is not uncommon with princo media

[BLACKGHOST]

not that i know of

[Oriphus]

use your task manager to ascertain whether there are other programs running in the background that may interfere with it. However, as i said, i think the media is most likely going to be the cause of the problem.

I like the avatar picture by the way :D

thanks oriphus........

how you get your name anyway?

[Oriphus]

I liked the name Orpheus and just thought instead of being common ill change it around slightly and be original. Lol. My real names Chris

[shiny#3]

oriphus is right stating that it may be a media related
problem......
when you check previous postings on that you notice
that many members encountered problems
with princo media........

though it is also reported that pricnco media works
well with some sony standalone players and there are
even some sonyplayers that accept princo only as a
CD-R

[BLACKGHOST]

nah this isnt the case. Been using Princos all the time.
Not a problem. All of a sudden nothing works. Cannot be a bad batch as are using two different ones. What could it be??

[Oriphus]

When you do your original back-up, and then copy that back up, do you just use the copy and paste function to get the files off the DVD and into a directory on your computer?

[BLACKGHOST]

when i do an original i use DVD-Shrink which is fine but then when i do a backup of that one I simply go into Nero and do a dvd to dvd copy....

[BLACKGHOST]

what i decided to do was format my computer and all i have one it now at present is Nero 5.5.10.28 and thats it.
Using the PIONEER 105 burner. Now still having the same problem. So now im thinking maybe its either a hardware problem or Nero could be the problem. What you think??

[Oriphus]

Dont do a DVD to DVD Copy. Instead, copy all of the files from the DVD into a directory on your computer. Then burn them in Nero under DVD ROM UDF/ISO inside a VIDEO_TS folder. See if that works...

[BLACKGHOST]

it is the firmware upgrade i believe everything else stuffs up

[BLACKGHOST]

PROBLEMO solved i think. I reflashed my burner with 0.58 version and it seems to be working. Hopefully all fingers crossed it continues to work. Thanx for the replys
