First let me cover my post by saying this does have to do with dvd-r media.
Pre-computer crash, my rig ripped dvd's @ 2x speed or less, after some tweaking i got it up to 3-4x. After the dvd2one program finished its job on Spiderman (2002), Frailty, and Session 9, and nero burned them, They all three played fine in my cheaper JVC on Memorex dvd+R and didnt play at all in my high end onkyo. I re-ripped and Re-burned them on Memorex dvd-R and they discs did play in both, but in JVC the video fragmented near the middle of runtime and in the Onkyo the video suffered some serious stutters around the same section. This is all pre-crash.
After the wonderful crash, i re-installed only the handful of necessary programs (and the dvd ones i mentioned earlier). Now the same dvd-rom rips the dvd at 5-7x speed, dvd2one it in around 10min a nero-burns it at 28min. I ran another test on Verbatim dvd-R on Blade and not one fragment/stutter on the onkyo. Just for measuer i re-ripped/burned it onto a disc from the same memorex dvd-r pack that stuttered with spiderman and the others, and it played perfectly too.
My question after this long post. Is the DVD Blade just compliant with ripping; was there some rogue program on my system that got lost in the crash that caused memorex dvd-r to go buggy last time; could the spiderman memorex dvd-r just have been a bad disc in the pack?
Soon as i dig out spiderman 2002 again i'm going to redo this same test on the last memorex dvd-r i have and do one on another verbatim dvd-r and see if either stutter.
If system specs help, here: P4 1.8ghz, 1.5GB RAM, dual 120GB HDD, 16xDVD-rom & Sony dru-500a(x) - using the smartripper/dvd2one/nero process.
