Thanks to all for helping me recently switch to TYs, they are excellent and havent had a problem until now. I have a G4 and use MTR and DTOX and recently ripped and compressed King Kong with no problems. However when it came to Toasting it to a TY, I would get a verification error right near the end!
I have never encountered a burning problem before so I thought it was acutally (gasp!) a faulty TY. I tried it again, as well as with the supplemental disc, and kept getting a bad sector verification error right near the end. It would seem its not a TY problem, but seeing how I had no problem with ripping and/or compressing and the movie plays back fine all the way through on my computer, it kinda seems like a media problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The movie plays all the way through with your computer, but how does it do on a standalone player? The verification process isn't really the final judge and neither is quality scanning. A bad scan doesn't mean a bad disc and the process isn't really necessary. I've had disc scans come back as zero but the DVD still plays beautifully in all my players.

Hey, what do you know, it actually does play on my standalone player! Except for some pixelization artifact around the place where the verification failed, the rest of the disc played OK. Thanks for the advice!!! Any thought on the source of the error though- ripper, compressor or burner? Did you have any problems with King Kong? Thanks again.

I did King Kong on a DL Verb +R, so compression wasn't an issue.
Did you backup the entire disc or just the main movie?
How fast did you burn?
Is your firmware current?
What program(s) did you use to make your bakcup?

This is usually due to cheap media. Low quality media tends to get a less uniform distribution of dye around the outer edge of the disc, thus causing the pausing, pixellation and freezing. To avoid the edge of the disc set your target size in your encoder to 4300. This setting will keep you from burning too close to the edge of the disc where most problems occur.

Thanks for the reply. As I mentioned, I was using TYs (DVD-R 8X) at the slowest speed (4x) toast would allow. Since TYs are the best, is it still necessary to decrease the target size of the compression? The largest size I can get to fit on a TY is 4.36 Gb. Thanks.

I would still reduce the size to see if it corrects your problem.

I shrink all mine to 4.3 as a rule - never had a problems at the end of the movie since I started doing that :)
