Hello!
Im trying to burn dvdr movies I´ve backed up myself using Instant Copy. I have my burner on Mac and thats where the problem is.

As soon as I have burned the disc (VIDEO_TS folder 4.3gb big) it gets ruined in the end of the movie, the beggining with menus and the start of the movie is ok.
I got the same problem with a original DVD5 release not manipulated by me.
When the problems comes on my Mustek dvd player it freezes, gets pixelated and gets worse the longer I let it play.
Some discs wont even hook up on either PC or Mac if I try it there, some discs can be read but when I try use DVDdecryptor on it the app finds unreadble files.

Someone told me that this was a sign of bad media but I´ve tried different brands of dvdr media (Apple dvd-r and Infiniti dvd-r) with same result.
I have tried burning both 1x and 2x speed with same result. Ive tried burning on three different macs (Emac, Imac & Powermac G4) also with same result.

When I try burning on a Maxell DVDrw disc it seems to work. It also seems to work if I delete the menu and just keep the movie (on Apple dvd-r and Infiniti dvd-r media). Is it the media or the menu?

My backup works in both Win DVD, Power DVD, VLC and Apple DVD Player on Mac when I try them before burning.

This is giving me headache, please help me explain this.

Regards / Ozone

If it works on the Computer and it works on one type of media then you are left with bad media as the answer.

Ok.
Thanks for your help, I will try another media.

Do you have a good media to recomend?

Dont you think its a bit weird that Apple´s own media isnt working in their drives, it says its certified with apple superdrive.

One more question is it better to make project size a bit smaller like 4.2 than 4.3?

Anything with the ritek G03 or G04 dark purple dye (although the former are rarer than hens teeth at the moment)

I imagine that Apple just rebrand someone elses discs so they could be anything.

Not using the very outside edge of the disc will make mediocre media play OK in some machines but probably won't help really awful media.

Also some machine are much fussier than others, some standalones play any old rubbish and some diplay the symptoms you desribe with anything but the best media
