My doctoral work was in a different field, but I switched to analogue and digital storage a long time ago. Particulate magnetic storage, photo-optical storage, and electron flash storage were the areas of expertise; and I wrote or helped write some standards in use today.
I played a couple of my DVD's on my laptop and they play jittery. I burned them at 8x. Still using the Memorex DVD-R. Like I said, they play great in the Xbox.
Quote:I have tried some of them in my DVD player also and they SEEM to play well.
Well DO they play well in your DVD players? If you're getting pixilation and stoppage, it's like everyone said, it's the media; change to something better and slow your burn down to half the rated media speed.
I checked info on booktyping, its still hazy to me, I have burned hundreds using +r's only, I have 4 stand alone players, never had an issue with play back on either, however my nighbor who occasionally borrows a movie who has a samsung about a year old does have issues.
I only burn with ty's and verb's but once bought maxells with a ggod deal, he especially has issues with them, but now all of a sudden he is even having trouble with some of my verb's.
I'm wondering if not booktyping might be a cause, and I never use imageburn, just use clonedvd.
The whole test should take 10-15 min. It also depends on what you have the speed set to in the test. Set it @ X8.
Can you rip the copies in question-if you can then you got a good copy. You may have some issue with the program playing dvd in pc. You media and burn speed is fine as is booktype to DVD-Rom.
