I just bought a Sony DRU530A burner. I can only watch backed up DVD's on my toshiba DVD player, my other 3 freeze and get choppy after a while of watching. My friend and I just bought new Sony DVD players that are +/- compatable and his plays the DVD's perfect, in fact his burned copies seem to play on all of my players perfectly. My copies wont play on his players though. I use the exact same sony media as him (he gave me half of the package) and we both use Shrink with nero. The only difference here is that I use a sony burner and he uses a memorex burner. Anyone have a really good burner to reccomend? We have tried every variable and combination here and the only conclusion we have is that my new sony burner sucks. I defrag the hard drive, close all background tasks, running 2.4 MHZ 512 ram system. I now have about 40 discs burned that are garbage so now I have to reburn them all with a new burner. Any help would be great. It's not my DVD players or my media obviously. Thanks
Yeah, It does a reliable burn every time but after trying the burned copies on 8 different DVD players, it only works on 1 toshiba player and on a Playstation 2. I have tried several different brands of media and it seems sony burns a little too shallow or something. I did the firmware update but it did not help. What does everyone thing about memorex burners?
