    Viewing end of copied and/or ripped movies

    Hello Everyone,

    I was able to view the entire movie that was burned using Nero 6.6.0.14 without any problems until I had to restore my entire machine and reinstall all my programs. I am now having problems viewing the end of the copied or ripped movies about 95% of the time. It pauses and stops at about the end of the movies. Why? What could be causing this problem?

    HP Pavilion 7000ZD Laptop
    8X +/- DVD RW Burner
    Nero 6.6.0.14
    Taiyo Yuden DVD-R 4.7 gb 8X
    Ritek RiData DVD -R 4.7 gb 4X

    Welcome to the Digital Digest Video forum rmartes!

    If your backup freezes, stutters, skips, or has some pixelation, it is more than likely due to poor quality media being used. Cheap media is poorly manufactured around the edge of the disc, hence the reason why it mostly skips or freezes toward the end of the movie. The two main things to consider first are:
    • Is it cheap media that you are using? (ie. some off brand you bought at a local computer store/fair, even a store like Circuit City or Best Buy sells cheap low quality media.)
    • How fast are you burning? - Burn no faster than 4X, might have to go down to 2X with really cheap media.


    Also, are you using adhesive labels on your back ups? If so, try removing the labels (if you can) and playing them again. Go here for more info on why not to use labels. - http://forum.digital-digest.com/show...threadid=28604

    You can go here for some other possible solutions: http://forum.digital-digest.com/show...threadid=44912


    Also try lowering outcome the "Target DVD size".

    Open DVD Shrink. Click "Edit", then "Preferences". On the first tab at the top in the drop down box, change it from "DVD-5 (4.7GB) to "Custom" and enter a number of 4200MB (4464MB is burning to the edge of the disc, you want to stay away from the edge as the edge of cheap media (disc's) are poorly manufactured).

      "I am now having problems viewing the end of the copied or ripped movies about 95% of the time. It pauses and stops at about the end of the movies"

      1) Are you having this problem viewing the burned discs on your standalone DVD player?

      2) Are you having this problem viewing the burned discs on your PC?

      3) Are you having this problem ONLY with discs you've burned after restoring your system? - Or do you also have this problem with previously burned discs that previously played properly?


      If you have more questions, always feel free to ask them...

      Some people can't see the forest for the trees. Most times, simple is better;>}

        "I was able to view the entire movie that was burned using Nero 6.6.0.14 without any problems until I had to restore my entire machine and reinstall all my programs."

        that would indicate to me something did not install properly or is corrupted

        "I am now having problems viewing the end of the copied or ripped movies about 95% of the time. It pauses and stops at about the end of the movies. "

        this would be an indication of bad media

        do as jmet and setarip stated and post your results.
