I recently burnt a data DVD+RW with Nero 5 on Fuji discs consisting of six 700mb movie files, simply trying to free up space on my hard drive. However, when I tried to read this disk on my 4x I/O Magic DVD+-RW burner, it reads unbelievable slow (just highlighting one of the files takes a few minutes) and when I try to copy a file back onto the hard drive, I get a "cyclic redundancy check" error. Any ideas why this happens?

initail guess is that you have used very poor media........you dont say if your drive will read a commercially produced dvd ok or if it is all dvd that it wont read.

with data only stored on it then it should read/explore at sameish speed as a cd would.

my drive plays commercial dvds reasonably well. about the media, what, exactly, is the intended use of this media if i cannot simply use it as data storage? no matter what i try, i always get a CRC error when trying to copy back onto the hard drive and, yes, the disc is clean.

you can use it as storage media. my guess is that your problem may be the quality of the disc you are using.

1. Cheap media skips, freezes, fuzzes, pixelats, refuses to be recognized, partially jams and of course, our good old standby, either doesn?t burn or doesn?t play at all :-(

Cheap media is great for text, Data, Spreadsheets, .Jpg and .Gif pictures and is good even for MP3 music BUT for DVD backups - BLAaaaaaT! It SUCKTH in an extremely Big-th way !

2. A top grade media is needed for DVD reproduction !
Ritek G04's or Verbatim are what we?re looking for OR any media boasting ?Advanced AZO Metal Dye?, this indicates a superior dye application, while they are a bit ?pricey? they are acceptable.

Prices online from Meritline.com have gotten Ritek G04 to down around a dollar a disc -
Question - If you make coasters out of 3 cheap discs and good copies from 3 Verbatim discs or 3 Ritek G04 discs - which ones then are too expensive ?

If you wish to use your "Weekend Special Sale" media, don;'t complain. I'm very sure that you have been told a hundred times, "You get what you pay for".

Here is where you can see it in action :-)

thanks for the help. i had the same problem with backing up ps2 games, but i just assumed that media quality didnt matter if i was just burning data.
