DVD±R Media & Players - Error Playing Disks

Hello - I just recently had issues with my DVD player skipping and freezing on my DVD-Rs - it was a really cheap Koss player. So, I just replaced it with a Phillips DVP642 for $60 because it seemed like it got good reviews.

So the DVDs I made work fine on this player so far. So I tested some other DVDs I got from friends that didn't work in my old Koss player and some of them still skip and freeze in the Phillips player.

Is that because they maybe used cheap media and/or didn't use a slow burn speed?

Also, I had a disk from a friend that worked fine in my new Phillips player - and then I tried to play it again and it froze up and wouldn't play the last chapter.

I've had other disks from other people that have done the same...they play fine the first time and then after that, they skip and freeze. Is that again because of cheap media?

I just want to be sure that it's not the player I just bought. Will cheap DVD-Rs skip and freeze even if they're played on a $200 DVD player?

Thanks for any help!

hi

could be alot of things? but cheap rubbish media is top of the list!

can you tell us the id code dye info of the discs used.

also trying to compress to much, and burning to end of disc, and burning to fast can all be issues too...

i have found cheap noname dvd standalone players will play anything chucked at it and big time expensive players struggle...
thats why i got 5 cheap nasty players ;-])

i'm not sure what code you mean, but if that's the # etched on to the disk itself - these are all the markings on the 2 disks:

DVD+R 4x (03163104) - IFPI GZ01

DVD-R Ver.2.0/1x-8x Sony Corporation - this one has these #'s etched on the disk backwards: ARM5G8 D0021
and this: GG06025132056 C30120

Both of those disks played fine the first time around but the second time they were played they froze, skipped, and the latter one didn't even want to play the last chapter at all.

Thanks for any replies - I'm learning that there's an art to this DVD burning stuff.

daron, I think Rotary wants the media code that will ID exactly who made the disk. Download DVD Identifier from the link in my signature below, install, and run with the media in the drive. One of the things the program does is read the media code from the disk that IDs its manufacturer.
