Problems with DVD Drives
Hello all,
About a month ago I was in the process of ripping DVD's when my DVD burner started to skip and stutter. It started when ripping and burning and then it stuttered (second of sound loss and stuttered video picture) when playing DVDs and even CDs.
Long story short, old one was replaced with a new one. My computer is a Cicero and Futureshop replaced the stuttering DVD burner with another, what appears to be, noname brand DVD burner player. The DVD unit states that it has +/- and 16x writing reading and all the other things that DVD burners have.
With my new DVD unit, I played a DVD in the unit it worked fine, tried to rip and there were errors. I played it again without ripping, and there were stutters as the movie played. Then any movie that I put in stuttered. The files that it managed to copy also had the stutters. As of right now, CDs seem to still play decently. Am I doing something wrong that is damaging the DVD unit. Is there any possible way to damage a DVD burner when ripping a DVD (besides the funny set fire to it, drop it from a helicopter, etc...) Are there any internal DVD burners that I should look into. I managed to burn my first three DVDs and I have had nothing but trouble since then. Help.
Thanks
