Backup stucks sometimes / bad quality

[rnbwsix]

Hi,

I'm trying to make DVD backups with the last version of DVDshrink. Everything works fine, and when i watch the movie it seems to work good too... Only sometimes, the DVD stucks or slows down as if it was scrached... It's different with every movie, do you have an idea where it could come from?
Is there a way to test the backup before burning it? And after this, is there a way to test the burned DVD before watching it???
Thanks in advance for your answers.

by the way, i m using sony or verbatim media

did you test the very media with a different player/pc?

maybe your standalone player has problems with the media/burnspeed

[rnbwsix]

well it s more or less the same with two different players...

[UncasMS]

did you try different burn speeds so far?

maybe going for 4x when your media states 8x might be worth a try.

ok i ll do that next time... thx... i ll let you know

strange thing... When i use DVDshrink i mak a copy at once, i mean that i put the DVD in, ha analyses, decodes, and asks for an empty media to burn... i looked through the options before starting the procedure and i saw the burning speed set to "maximum". I clicked on it to change it as you said but i only had the choice of 8x or 16x... so i didn't do the copy... i just made an ISO file on the HD and i will burn it with nero tonight...

My advice is to burn that ISO with DVD Decrypter. I've seen ppl have problems with Nero even burning ISOs lately.

ok thanks... i have to find a tutorial for DVD decrypter because i have the programm but i don't know it... before i burn, is there a way to check the iso file with another programm? With this i would be sure that the video problems i sometimes have are not coming from the extraction, but from the burning

"Mount" the .ISO image file with DaemonTools and playback - or use ISOBuster...

[blutach]

You could mount the ISO with daemon tools and then run the Phillips Video Verifier over them. But that is a professional product.

This thread shows the use of DVD Decrypter. The latter part is relevant - "How do I use DVD Decrypter to burn the ISO file ...".

Ok i used DVD Decrypter to burn a movie from an ISO file i earlier created on my HD with DVDshrink... I set the burning speed on 2x and turned on the "verify" option... The DVD was burned, "verify" said everything is ok, and when i watched the movie it was nearly perfect... Still a few errors (which don't stop the movie but are still visible, like huge pixels) occured but thats it... Since the beginning i'm using Sony DVD+R and i think this media is ****ty... A friend of mine used them too and he told me that all the movies he burned have "errors"... Tonight i will burn the same movie in the same conditions from the same iso file but using a Verbatim DVD-R , just to see if there is any difference... Maybe when a DVD copy is made, there will allways be some video bugs?!or not?
I also was thinking, once i'll be a DVD burning god, thanks to you, lol, maybe i'll buy 8 Go Media to have a better video quality on the copy. Will i be able to see the difference ? How do you do it?

Check my sig - how to test your burn. You should do this after every burn. Also look at "Got bad plaback" in my sig.

Bad media usually manifests itself around the edges (towards the latter part of the movie or in the extras if you have done a full disk backup and they are in the latter VTSs).

Do check on media quality in my sig and burner/media compat. Also remember, its no good having media that your burner likes if your player rejects it. You gotta match them all up.

Good luck.
