I used shrink to burn a copy of a disc for my 6 year old daughter, it works fine on the computer when I play it back, but on tv playback freezes up every 2 seconds. I dont understand. I'm also new to this, i'm a rook!! Sorry for my ignorance, but these forums have been so helpful in the past, plese don't let me down.

Thanks,
Mike

If your backup freezes, stutters, skips, or has some pixelation, it is more than likely due to poor quality media being used. Cheap media is poorly manufactured around the edge of the disc, hence the reason why it mostly skips or freezes from the middle toward the end of the movie. The two main things to consider first are:

1. Is it cheap media that you are using? (ie. some off brand you bought at a local computer store/fair, even a store like Circuit City or Best Buy sells cheap low quality media.)

2. How fast are you burning? - Burn no faster than 4X, might have to go down to 2X with really cheap media.

Also, are you using adhesive labels on your back ups? If so, try removing the labels (if you can) and playing them again. Go here for more info on why not to use labels. - http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28604

Also try lowering outcome the "Target DVD size".

Open DVD Shrink. Click "Edit", then "Preferences". On the first tab at the top in the drop down box, change it from "DVD-5 (4.7GB) to "Custom" and enter a number of 4300MB (4464MB is burning to the edge of the disc, you want to stay away from the edge as the edge of cheap media (disc's) are poorly manufactured).

But it works fine on the computer playback, and its not only at the middle to the end. It starts at the beginning. ???

Mate edit your email out of your post its against forum rules...

Thanxs

and in regards to your problem it mayb as the other member said the media you are using and also try to even slow down the burning speed sometimes that may help...

It also may be the fact that he/she is simply using to much compression.

What is the make and model of your burner, what media are you using, when did you last update your firmware, what speed did you burn at, and what movie are your trying to backup?
