I just joined the afterdawn forum and I have a query for the brightest minds here ;)
I have been backing up my dvd collection for a couple of months on a sony internal DVDR burner, using memorex DVD+R dual layer discs. I use DVD Decrypter software, though I have heard there may be a better program to accomplish my back ups...any opinions on that?

use IMG burn instead of DVD Decrypter for DL media. or if you want an easier option use CloneDVD 2 and anydvd

Secondly, the main problem I have which is more of a technical nature is something more mysterious, and thus I thought worthy of the "advanced" forum. I have noticed the following problem on two DVDs I burned. On both discs, there is an instance where the end of a "chapter" or scene from the DVD is cut short--a minute or so of the scene is chopped off and it moves on to the next chapter. Very frustrating. What is most strange is what happens with the numbers or the time counter on the DVD player. For example, with my movie "Cool Hand Luke" we are 58:33 through the movie--suddenly the scene is cut short, and the following scene begins at 56:23! The scenes are all in the correct order, just one scene is cut short and moves on to the next prematurely. Can anyone out there with DVD+R expertise help me, before I back up my whole collection with these kinds of errors? Thanks so much!
