audio problem

[warrenite]

Hey guys. I tried searching before making this post but didn't find anything relating to this.

I just started copying (only two so far - Donnie Darko and Ghost of Emily Rose) and have run into the same problem with both.

After doing a re-author of just the film(s) itself, I'll open up the VTS files in my ATI player, Windows Media and/or DVDShrink and I'll have a terrible scratching sound (like clipping) that's relative to the audio - ie, quiet crackle on quiet noises, loud crackle on loud noises.

Is this common on playback via PC, and is it something that won't show up once burned? Or will this require me to re-copy the films? I decided to hold off on burning these so as not to waste discs...

Thanks for any help.

:

What you should do is a full disc rip and see if the noise is still there...or try playing the disc itself in your media plaer and see what happens

Full disc and re-author both produce clipping (and this is with two different movies). If I play the film in any of my media players I don't have any audio problems - those happen only when I play the movie from my harddrive.

You may want to try using power DVD, that is better software for playing movies. Then the windows media player.

Have you burned one yet? You may want to see if a burned disc does this there may be something wrong with the rip.

I have had strange things happen when I have used windows media palyer to watch movies though could just be that too.

As an aside, I'm going to try to use DVDFab first, then DVDShrink to see what happens... I'll update in a few minutes.

Okay, same problems. After running the film through DFab, any program I use to watch the files will play the "clipping" audio.

What happens when you play the burned disc? Do you still here the noise or does it play like the original DVD?

[warrenite]

I mentioned that earlier in the thread. I haven't burned either of the movies because I didn't want to waste any discs until I can get a better grasp of what my audio problem is.

I'm still doing searches on Google to see if I can dig up anything. Maybe I'll just bite the bullet tomorrow and burn a disc to see what happens.

I would try to burn one and se if the noise is still there. I understand not wanting to waste a disc but that way you will know.

Once the disc has been burned you will also have a burn log which may show what is happening.

I would take photo angels advice you need to do a burn to see if it just the media player or the rip I don't think there is a way around it.

I'll third this one on trying a disc. Discs are cheap enough to write off at least one. The disc may turn out fine too.

[warrenite]

I didn't think to try this one, but it works (although it still doesn't tell me why I get the clipping).

I had been copying the dvds over to my d: drive... I copied one last night to my c: drive and I had no skipping. I just finished burning a disc, and everything works, so I guess I at least have a way around the problem now.

Thanks for the help, guys.
