It could relate to the quality of your discs, what brand are you using and what is your burn speed.

First we need more information like what software did you use?, what is the make and model of your dvdwriter and with what firmware?, what brand of blank media did you use?, how fast did you burn? What movies are playing up?

When we have all the information we will be able to help you better.

Otherwise we will be just guessing as to what could be wrong.

EDIT: Welcome to AD :)

it does sound like a media problem.... pixelations, skipping and freezing often reflects bad media. Read lable on Media and make sure it's Made in Japan..... those are the top notch media around. The only exception to that rule is Verbatim (which is made in Taiwan/Singapore). Verbatim is also a top notch media brand. Starting with good media will stop most of the pixelations, skipping and freezings...... then if you have a problem you can rule out bad media!

here is a media guide for you:

Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, Maxell, Sony..... the ones MIJ are the better media!

Personally I do not think that Ritek is a good media choice. (some will disagree with me, going by my own experience with them)

Persoanlly I only use Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim, and have never had a problem.

EDIT: How long have you had DVDxCopy Express?

Your firmware needs updating I believe it is now at V 1.23

Firmware updates improve your dvdwriters writing/reading strategy and improves compatibility with blank media.

Someone else will be able to explain it better :)

For transcoders

(for picture quality)The free option is DVDShrink. The $$$ option is Nero recode2

The easiest is clonedvd2 ($$$)

THE BEST Encoders

DVDRB-Pro with Procoder2 or CCE ($$$$)

When you play the files from your HDD does it freeze?

Persoanlly I would not use DVDFab to rip and burn, you would be better off doing it like this.

Rip using DVDFab Decrypter (free) http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm

Compress with Shrink (free) http://filehippo.com/download_dvdshrink/

Burn with Imgburn (free) http://www.imgburn.com/

If you do take my advise let me know and I will tell you how to set it up :)

First you rip the movie onto your HDD using DVDFab Decrypter

GUIDE: http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=51904

Then open shrink to compress, settings depend on how much compression is needed, but always use deep analysis. Select output as an ISO image you select this option when you press backup (select backup target)

GUIDE: http://www.dvdr-digest.com/articles/23_1.html

Then use Imgburn to burn the iSO onto a blank disc. burn @4x
