Hi, I am currently burning DVD`s using DVD Shrink to back up the files onto my hard drive and then I use Nero 5.5 to burn to a blank Ritek G04 disc. I have a Pioneer 105. When playing my copies on my Bush DVD player I have no problems as do others using `bottom` of the range DVD players, yet as soon as someone plays them on a `high` spec DVD player (mainly Sony) they get 90% of the way through the film and it then gets blocky and crashes. Any ideas????
Many Thanks - Shaun

I've read that many of the low-end DVD players use cheap DVD-ROMs which are made to read anything and everything whereas many high end players have more specialized drives that choke on DVDRs. I ran into this with one of my discs that played fine in my cheapie but choked big time on my buddies very expensive Sony (which sucks because he's the one with the 55" HDTV and killer surround sound system).

Nephilim is right about many low end players having actual DVD-ROM drives which are much more forgiving than many high end DVD players, but that doesn't mean that your friend's player doesn't play DVD-R correctly. It did get most of the way through the movie, and almost every case of a burned movie having problems playing at the end is due to cheap media, which is often difficult for players to read the outside edge of. What brand of media are you using?

He said he's using Ritek G04s - can't imagine that being the problem. The burner should be good too. Maybe knocking down the default target file size in Shrink would help.

Several disks in the first spindle of Riteks I bought had problems recording to the outside edge, so I still wouldn't count it out. Lowering the target size would definitely be the way to test this.

Gotcha. Guess I've been lucky so far (knock on wood).

Fortunately I've been lucky since that first spindle. Probably just a bad batch.

The original post is really quite disturbing. The errors you report are normally found on cheap branded (princo) disk and "certain" branded DVD players. It's quite frightening to read, from other members, that "so called" "high end" DVD players are having problems reading disks to the end.
Well for the record I have acces to 2 sony DVD players and 1 Toshiba :-
Sony DVP NS700V
Sony DVP NS305
Toshiba SD-22E
These machines above may not be the latest models, IE are a few years out of top spec, But they play everything.
I hope you get your problem sorted out m8, it's a right worry !!!

If it's the media it could. In fact, if it does fix the problem, you can be pretty sure the media was the problem since you're burner is a good model.
