I bought the EC DVD of Cannibal Holocaust and revieved it today. It was brand new but it may be defective. It works in 3 out of 5 of my DVD players,and I want to make a backup,but my burner cannot recognize it. It says no disc. The manufacturer is probably pretty cheap,so i'm afraid this may happen again if I exchange it online. I would just keep it since it works in most of my players,but I want a backup. Any ideas?

What programs are u running it the sys tray
ru running AnyDVD and or DVD43???
if u are this may effect the DVD u are putting in, those programs may not recognise the Disc
soo try closing those programs b4 u put the DVD in and then once u closed them, put it in.
and run Decrypter and shrink if u have to and burn it that way.
That might just work give it a whirl and keep me posted....

With AnyDVD on or off,the disc won't rip. The PC recognizes it,but it skips badly,and the DVD is new. DVDShrink,ISObuster,and Decrypter all freeze up. I may have a bad disc,since it plays in most but not all of my DVD players. It is an import DVD,but it is NTSC R0. This may be a bad batch,or the company is cheap.

The disc has no dust or scratches. DVD Decrypter freezes at about 12% and retries over and over. I used the special settings and it makes no difference.

Everything is up to date. My guess is it must be a faulty DVD,espacilly since it will play on 3 out of 5 of my players.

puffyrock,
If DVDDecrypter had a problem ripping it at 12% then it is a bad press and you can try and exchange it

PS, no such thing as an NTSC burner. PAL & NTSC are different formats, they have nothing to do with the burner. All the burner does is burn pits into the dvd, which the PC reads as zeros & ones, this is then translated into the picture.
This is an article I sourced, you may find it of interest;
"With video-based source material, there are two predominant worldwide formats; PAL and NTSC, which differ in both resolution and in frame rate. PAL is higher in resolution (576 horizontal lines) than NTSC (480 horizontal lines), but NTSC updates the on-screen image more frequently than PAL (30 times per second versus 25 times per second). What does this mean in practice? NTSC video is lower in resolution than PAL video, but because the screen updates more frequently, motion is rendered better in NTSC video than it is in PAL video. There is less jerkiness visible. When video source material is transferred to DVD, it is usually transferred in the format it was created in - PAL or NTSC, and the subsequent image has either higher temporal resolution (more frames per second - NTSC) or higher spatial resolution (more lines per image - PAL).
Conversions between the two video formats are possible, and are indeed frequently carried out, as it seems to be far more acceptable to sell PAL transfers in PAL countries and NTSC transfers in NTSC countries, even if the source material did not originate in the respective format. Conversions between these formats is problematic, however, as compromises need to be made in order to accommodate the source material, and visible artefacts can be introduced by the conversion process.
Converting NTSC to PAL
When converting from NTSC to PAL, two things need to be accomplished. 480 lines of resolution have to be upconverted to 576 lines of resolution, and 30 images per second have to be downconverted to 25 images per second.
The resolution upconversion does not actually add any real picture information to the image, as you cannot create real picture information where none existed before. It does, however, make the picture viewable on a PAL display, and often results in a superficially better-looking image.
The frame rate conversion actually results in a loss of temporal resolution, as PAL has a lower frame rate than NTSC".
Here is a link to the whole article;

One thing I noticed about the DVD I am talking about is there is kind of a swirl on the underside of the disc. Not a scratch,it looks like it's in the dye. Is this a problem?

Could be a manufacturing blip, but as you can get it to work in only specific players, it could just be "one of those things". I would return it, just to be sure!
