ripped movie playback

[beachbumm33]

I'm searching for a new dvd player for playing my ripped movies, since my toshiba player(7yrs. old) is having a hard time playing many of them. Any recommendations on a player that plays both dvd-r and dvd+r rips? Anyone have experience with the phillips DVP5140/37 DVD player? any help on the subject would be much appreciated!

I use a mid priced Sony carousel and it will play all of my backed up DVD's.

What kind of problems are you having? Could be a simple as changing the media you are using...unless of course you are looking for an excuse for a new DVD player, then I understand completely

I would try various formats, see which ones are causing the problem.
Have you tried using DVD+R media and Booktype to DVD-ROM?

[beachbumm33]

no I havent, ive been using dvd-r, do you recommend using dvd+r?

loc-- I have an older toshiba player and a klh player, im getting the green pixelation on both, but not in the same place on the mive, but not on my daughters poloroid portable player, they play flawlessly, even though all rips are labeled....im using memorex dvd-r, i did a scan check and checked out the quality on the link provided in this frum, somewhere, and it says they are 2nd generation media, so i thought these dvds would be ok, am i incorrect?

All of the time I use this setting. It fools the DVD player into thinking it is a pressed DVD.

Please visit this site about media quality. BTW: Only use the top2: Verbatims or Taiyo Yudens.

thank you gary, any specific media from these two brands? dont want to crosspost, but im using imgburn, where do i find the settings to burn as you stated?

[beachbumm33]

thanks for the site link, that is the site i was talking about the memorex dvds are ricoh, listed in the 2nd class media.....thank you so much for the help, very much appreciated

Taiyo Yuden would be first. If you see any Sony 1X-8X Dvd+R 50 pack spindle Made in Japan, grab them because they are probably Taiyo Yuden. They will have the octagonal foam protector on top.

thank you very much soup, any suggestions with the settings on img burn, or am i stepping on ties asking that here?

[soup]

ImgBurn is fine with it's default settings but go to Tools / Settings & events to make sure you save your log because it makes it easier to help. I don't know if you have seen this link yet?

[beachbumm33]

yes ive seen it, and i have posted logs b4, ive burnt many many movies, I was asking in regards to dan and garys suggestion of using dvd+r media and using booktype to dvd-rom. a little confused on these settings. sorry bout my lack of knowledge.

[beachbumm33]

[soup]

yes ive seen it, and i have posted logs b4,

They are not logs but pictorial guides, the Dvd+R's include booktype.

[beachbumm33]

sorry soup, i didnt clarify myself, I was just meaning to say that I have researched and used multiple sources b4 and am not totally new to all of this, my apology for the confusion, the pictorial guides were of tremendous help, thank you very much!
