Having troubles playing last 10ish minutes of dvd

[AGRforever]

Does all your DVDs have trouble in the last 10 minutes on all different DVD players? How about on the PC?

yes, different dvd players and computer, it is deffinatly the dvd rather then the players, and yes MOST dvds, and almost only durring the last 10ish minutes, which kinda sucks becuase thats the part of the movie you wanna see

IMGBurn is definitely worth a try. Your DVD burner might be going bad as well and not burning properly as it gets toward the outer edges of the blank disc. There is the off chance that maybe you got a defective bunch of Verbatims. I had one spindle in which several of the Verbs in the middle of the stack had some type of blemish and could not be used.

not to sound like an idiot, but the log that i have found says its from 2003 which is obviously not correct. The logs should be located in a note pad document by following your instructions on "how to post a log" correct?

correct, are you scrolling down to the bottom of the page?

Here's the last log, it says 2003, by the way this burn failed, i am currently trying to re-shrink the movie with a smaller file size and then i will image burn it, and let you know if it works

I'm not as familiar with Nero logs, but you seem to have a lot of processes running while you are trying to burn to have such a low 'Free Physical Memory'. You should shut some applications down when you go to burn, you'll get a better burn.

And this burn seems to have failed because the files you were trying to burn were not DVD compliant.

And as for the 2003 date, I think that is when you first installed that Ahead(Nero) folder.

[Chewy]

GSA-4166B Version: 1.00

that's the original firmware for that drive

http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2209

1.02 should do a better job with that media(good stuff)

and that version of nero is pretty old too

http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=62465

I would update it from this link

[blutach]

Not to mention that your Ner0 version is so out of date it's an antique - do read and implement the Golden Rules of Burning.

Regards

[AGRforever]

thanks guys, ive worked with it a bit and i think its working better

by the way can that firmware really mess up the drives like it says?

[Chewy]

I am glad you asked, the included instructions specify the burner be standalone master, and I always reccomend safe mode for best flashes,
it's a close call but a burner running original firmware is often already broken and needs to be fixed with the firmware updates, that's why they put them out.


Of course looking at that 3 year old liteon and it's firmware is kind of scary, I would retire it.
