Hi all,
I posted the below in the Newbie forum, no replies, so maybe it belongs here...
I've recently got into the world of DVD back-ups. I've got lots of wonderful advice from these forums, so thank you all (esp. ScubaPete - very informative and helpful posts!)
I can rip and burn seemingly sucessfully. After the burn I make sure the verify data option is on. I have also been doing a ScanDisc with Nero DriveSpeed straight after, and that has been confirming 100% good sectors.
However - I am having some problems.
I've noticed that for many discs, when I do a ScanDisc say a week or so later, it then picks up either damaged or bad sectors. In some cases I haven't used the DVD *at all* in the meantime
Why would this be? How is it possible for a DVD to scan 100%, and then the very next time scan with damaged sectors, when it hasn't even been played or touched in the meantime?
The only thing I can think of is the dye must be changing after it's been written, however with the MCC discs I'm using I thought they were one of the bext qiality ones?
Or is it just Nero DriveSpeed being tempramental?
I use DVDShrink 3.2, (DVD Decrypter 3.5.4 if needed first), and burn seperately with Nero. I have Nero 6.6.0.15.
I always make sure all other applications are closed down before I burn, and burn using 2x speed (have had same problems on 4x speeds too). I'm using a Plextor 712A with the latest firmware. The current DVD's Im using are Mitsubishi brand, manufactured by MCC which I understand are a excellent brand. (I used to use Imation ((CMC(before I realised how crappy they were after reading the forums!). Running WinXP.
Any help or comments would be appreciated.
Have a great day!
