Thought I'd post this here as this is begining to drive me insane.
For some reason I keep getting bad burns on backup DVD's.
The source fle runs perfectly on a PC when mounted or played through VLC but when I burn to disk the majority will have something wrong with them. It could just be something as a dejavu moment or just a few blocks on screen.
I finally snapped when watching a film tonight that just blocked out, died and stopped playing in the dvd player.
I'm using TDK DVD+R and an LG GH22LS30 burner on a PC with 8GB RAM running Windows 7. To burn I'm using ImgBurn.
I'm not quite sure where I'm going wrong and why I keep getting these bad burns.
Without saying anything against the disks you are using, I would switch to Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden.
Probably ImgBurn will select the optimum speed for the disks - in any case, ease back from the maximum on the label.
After you burn a DVD-R....you can go back and "Edit" them, using programs like Roxio Builder or others, etc......by make them to bypass frames, previews, comercials, etc.... you do not want to see.
NOTE: The Original Burn will be there.....but the DVDplayer do not gonna read it them on your play-back when you watch them.
