Hi there Mike, Welcome to our little Club,
First off let me stste that I am a confirmed Roxio hater. I have found it to screw up more things than a heavy duty power pak Screwdriver.
Also, your complaint sounds like a media issue -
Let?s get your media straightened out -
1.* Cheap media skips and stutters, freezes, fruzzules, pixelats, palpitates, partially jams, partially rams, won?t play, doesn?t pay, won?t burn, can?t turn or won?t be accepted, could be deflected, may be rejected and even our old standby, refuses to be recognized. :-( (The preceding should be read out loud and with cadence and evokes LL but should be taken most seriously)
Inexpensive media is great for text, Data, Spreadsheets, .Jpg and .Gif pictures and is good even for MP3 music BUT for DVD backups - BLAaaaaaT! It SUCKTH in an extremely Big-th way !
2. A good grade media is needed for DVD reproduction !
Ritek G04's or Verbatim are what we?re looking for OR any media boasting ?Advanced AZO Metal Dye?, this indicates a superior dye application, while they are a bit ?pricey? they are acceptable.
Prices online from Meritline.com have gotten Ritek G04 down below a dollar a disc -
Question - If you make coasters out of 3 cheap discs and good copies from 3 Verbatim discs or 3 Ritek G04 discs - which ones then will you say are too expensive ?
Bear in mind, Memorex, Fuji, Sony, TDK, Orange Pack and others are quite good for your MP3 music, picture archives, Spread sheets, Data and your text backups and archives, they just don?t work well for DVD backups.
Remember, for DVD backups, purchasing inexpensive media is a gamble, some people win, the majority of people lose, varying amounts but, they still lose :-(
Using good grade media can guarantee you one thing to an absolute certainty, it surely cannot hurt.
Try a disc or 2 of the "Good Stuff" -
Pete
