I have been able to backup most of my collection with ease, but every so often I get a backup that freezes at one of two spots....
1) Right before a preview comes on
2) Right before the main movie comes up, in the middle of all the studio info...
If I reauthor it and just put the movie on the DVD it turns out to be fine. Multiple backups freeze at that same spot. Is this is a documented problem? Any way around it so I dont get any more coasters?
Thanks

You didn't give us any information on what programs you use, what media you use or what speed you burn at. Just from a guessing standpoint, try different brands of media like Ritek or Verbatim grade A, or try dropping your burn speed down a step from what you are now burning at. Can't help more with information you gave.

I normally use DVD Decrypter to backup, and then Intervideo DVD Copy to burn. Always use Ritek R-. I burn at 4X speed.
If I use DVD Shrink and reauthor something to just be the movie with no title screen, or previews...it always works.

I, too, have been experiencing problems when trying to backup my DVD's. I use DVD Shrink to bring the files into proper volume and then have tried such burn software as Easy CD Creator and Pinnacle to complete the task. I have made 7 attempts to backup various DVD's with only one success. I even have followed on line instructions to back up Pirates of the Caribbean and, although my numbers were exactly the same as posted on the Net, that attempt also failed. The failures seem to occur when about 3/4 of the copy has been made with a message indicating that insufficient media space remains. I assure everyone that this IS NOT the case.
Since DVD Shrink dovetails with Nero, I have just bought Nero 6 but have not yet used it.

rhbender, what is the file size before you start to burn your dvd blank. Blank media has 4.7gig written on them, but actual size you can burn to them is 4.36gig.
As to Easy CD Creator, its probably the worst choice for dvd backups. The people that get it to work seem to love it. Most members hate it, then uninstall it, replace it with Nero 6 and never look back to it again. Haven't used Pinnacle so I can't comment on it.

Jerry - Thanks for your prompt reply. The file size at which I begin is ALWAYS smaller that the allocated size on the DVD blank. I tend to agree with your assessment of EZ CD Creator and am awaiting delivery of Nero 6 which I purchased some days ago.
The use of DVD Shrink puts all files sizes in proper size and format prior to my burn attempts so let's lay it on Creator for the moment. I'll bring you up to date as soon as I try Nero 6

Since Nero 6 has been installed, everything seems to work OK. Quality of copy is excellent.

Glad to here that. Nero is a very good all around group of programs for everything that needs burning.
