I've had no problems learning how to use DVD decryptor and DVD shrink...but now some of the DVD's that I've made come up and completely freeze when I play them (after burning of course). I can't get them past this problem. Also, a few of the DVD's that I've tried have come up with a bad sector (or some other type of error message)and I can't get it to finish....???

So what does that have to do with DVD Ripping?

Your either burning them too fast or its the brand of media your using.

I just got back to the thread. Ok. I use DVD decryptor, DVD Shrink, I've used the same package of DVD+-RW since I started, and some of the DVD's will skip and show the little squares in the picture (is that sector problems) and then some will go to the further length of completely freezing up and you can't get past it by fast forward or rewind...I've followed the detailed directions given on the website for every DVD burned at all of them have been at 4x and I don't see why some would have a prob and other not if it were my quality of DVD....help!

@dgclough:
Just a thought, maybe your original(s) are a "bad press". Or, its scratched or scruffed up pretty good.
Also, have you tried defragging? It's good to clean out the HD every couple of burns so you'll have a clean "writing surface", so to say.
Just a thought.

Is the firmware on your burner up to date?

What brand are you using? Do you have this problem with the backups on all your standalones, have you tried playing it on the computer.

hi
same as flip218 says change the brand of discs used! get some decent ones, use dvd indentifier or dvdinfo pro
or even DVD Decrypter on iso write mode i think, it will show you the ID code/dye type for that disc!
Nothing here to see, move along folks.

Ok, to answer everyone....I have defragged but maybe every 4-5 burn...so I'll try that. I use decryptor but haven't ever noticed the disc type (and what do I do with it when I find it???). I haven't tried to play it on the computer, what I am looking for, to see if it pauses or breaks up on the computer, if so is it my dvd player?? I don't remember what brand of DVD's I'm using, I'm at work, their at home :). Also, some of the DVD's are scratched but not so bad that they won't play on the DVD player...they don't skip at all if using the original....UGH!

The reason we say we want to know the brand of media you are using is brcause u maybe able to cpy the movies no probs but in the long run over time multiple plays can cause loss of quality and or skips etc...
Also quality of media is probablly one of the major reasons users have issues in the long run later on...

They may play no problems on your standalone DVD Player but copying the disc is a diffrent storry cause the laser has to pick up basically everythin on the disc but if its dammaged it may not pick up the files and give u an error...
Here again are 2 programs that may help please try them and keep us updated...
DVD Identifier

&
DVDFAB Decrypter

I hope that helps and clears some stuff up good luck...

Ok, I'll try the 2 new programs, i forgot to look at me blank dvd's to see what brand they are. But these are problems of skipping/pausing from the very 1st time we play them so....I've never tried to play anything I've burned more than once (at this time) burned probably 15 DVD's and out of those maybe 5 have a skipping and 2 have a complete pause when playing that we can't recover from....

While you are checking make sure to see if your burner firmware is up to date, this aids in media recognition and burn speed.

Ok, My DVD's are Maxell, DVD+RW 4.7 gb, 2 hrs in sp mode...I don't know how to check and see if my " burner firmware " is up to date but it should be, I just bought my laptop (about 3 months ago) and it was top of the line.... Anything else?

hi
brand names dont mean much, use dvd identifier or dvdinfo pro or DVD Decrypter to tell you the id codes off the disc (dye type)
also 3 months is a long time in firmware circles you could be 3/4 behind!
nero info tool will tell you also DVD Decrypter will check firmware!
Nothing here to see, move along folks.

Just because the comp is new does not always mean the burner's firmware is up to date. Use Decrypter to find out what the make/model and current firmware is. Just go into the Tools tab, drive and then capabilities. Looks like this

You firmware is out of date, should be PDS7 for a Dell according the the Firmware Page.
http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?category=14&manufactor=30
You can go to the Dell site and punch in your service tag and see what they are offering in upgrades for the drive. PDS3 firmware is about two behind and could be why you are having problems with the media.

It should be on your computer somewhere, it is a number that Dell gives out when you get your comp so they know which one is yours and you can get all the info when you go to the site and login.
