I have been working all night on trying to back up Lord of the Ring Return of the king and everytime I burn it and attept to play it it skips all over. I have been reading a ton of threads and still no luck. I have run down the rebuild thing and no luck and some treads say it is a simple copy, which I have tried but no luck. The THX sound in the begining skips and game skips over the movie cuts and right into the game. Any ideas?

no luck it was a bit better thought it was going to work then just skipped all movie and intro and threw me into game play. So no change :( I don't believe I have to rebuild this one because its only 4.25gb. I burnt this maxell 8x DVD+R at 4x. Any suggestions? think its still a disc or maybe burn at 2x?

Yes get some Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim's. Unless those are the High Grade Maxells made in Japan, they're probably not that great.

86. Q. Where can I find good deals on legit Taiyo Yuden's and Verbatim's?
A. http://www.supermediastore.com
Great List of Merchants locally, online, in the U.K., etc:
http://www.digitalfaq.com/dvdguides/buyerguides/buymedia.htm

106. Q. Where I can find top notch Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim media locally?
A. This is somewhat of a crap shoot. Big manufacturer's like Fuji, Sony, and Maxell have at one point past or present payed Taiyo Yuden to manufacture media for them. The big companies slap their name on the label even though the discs were manufactured in Japan by Taiyo Yuden. These discs will always be made in Japan. Authentic TY media isn't made anywhere else. Even if it says Made in Japan on the label, there is no gauruntee of getting authentic Taiyo Yuden media. You could still end up with Sony or Fuji media codes. Hence why I said this is a crap shoot. Places like Comp USA, Office Depot, Sam's Club, and Staples will carry Made In Japan branded discs. Again there is no way to know for sure from the package whether these are authentic Taiyo Yuden's. If you don't want to risk getting non TY discs, you can find 50 packs of Verbatim in the afore mentioned chain stores. One other alternative is the Made in Japan High Grade Maxell DVD+R's. They will say Made in Japan on the label and "High Grade" as well. These are excellent media. Remember when using DVD+R's, it's best you have a burner that supports booktyping/bitsetting, and a v.4 PS2 or later. Much thanks goes to kivory666 aka "docTY" for this information. He is indeed the Taiyo Yuden master. The best place to get authentic Taiyo Yuden media is from reputable online vendors like http://www.supermediastore.com http://www.rima.com http://www.meritline.com or http://www.newegg.com

Well you guys were correct! I went and bought some SONY Disc and reburnt the game and the game works flawless. So if you are reading this please do not skimp on the discs if your game is skipping or jumping its probubly your quality of disc.
