    Disturbing phenomena after DVD burning

    A have a Pioneer A03 DVD burner and I have copied several movies with DVD Decrypter in ISO mode successfully. I have however one very disappointing and disturbing experience to share with you. After burning a disc I load it immidiately in one of my two standalone DVD players to check if they work. I switch to all the chapters and let the last 10 minutes of the movie be played (the reason for this will be clear later). In almost all cases the result is perfect: the burned DVDs play absolutely smooth and flawless in both of my standalone players (one is Sony's best). And now comes the phenomena. After a few days I loaded the very similar burnt DVDs into any of my standalone players to check them once again,sure to be sure. And the result in 9 out of 10 times is, that the last part of the discs became unplayable, the picture freezes in both standalone players. It is as if some kind of physical damage had occured to the discs in the meantime, which obviously could not have happened! Do you have any clue to this? Can it be that the non-branded DVD-Rs have this strange nature, or there is a problem with my burner? But if so, then why do the discs play well immidiately after burning? Please help me if you can!

    Yeah, you're trying to burn a Dual Layer DVD

    when you do this, you are trying to cram 7+ gigs of info onto a 4.5 gig disc....it just doesn't work

      No unfortunately that cannot cause the problem, because I burn only single layer DVDs. Any other ideas?

        on my Sony standalone player, I noticed I can't play back anything past the 4 gig mark. if i burn a dvd-r past 4 gigs, the last part of the movie won't play.
        so i have to make sure i stay under 4 gigs, and it works fine.
        i think its because the first version of dvd-r' swas only 3.95 gigs...and maybe my sony player is programmed for that, and doesn't know how to handle the newer dvd-r's that handle 4.7 gigs

        it sucks though.
        i wish i could figure out why it does that.
        i've posted it before but noone responded
