Hi, I have recently started to backup my DVD collection and have burned possibly 100+ dvds successfully using DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink. However, I have just started getting "coasters". This does coincide with 2 new packs of blank media. (Datawrite 8xDVD+R). When the DVD is played in my DVD Player the disc stops/jumps at the beginning of chapters near the beginning or ending of film.
Am I correct in thinking that the blank media is at fault? Or could it be something else more sinister?

Also, if the media is at fault, do companies issue replacements?

Cheers,

garliadr

hi :)
yes i'm afraid they are even worse than prodisc.(see sig)
set shrink target on 4300mb to keep your burns well away from the outer edge
burn real slow 2.4x
take your unopened pack back and change them for some Verbatim or Ritek as in my sig
hope this helps
