Hello everyone, great site! Question for everyone to see if anyone?s had trouble similar to mine.
My equipment:
Sony DVD standalone
Onyko receiver
Polk Audio Speakers all the way around
HP AMD 2.08 MHz with 512 Mb of RAM running Windows XP
Dvd writer is a HP 300c.
Use Nero Recode and run DVD Region-Free in background to burn backups.
Media is Ridata 4x DVD+R.
Never a bad copy, works great!!
While watching one of the backups using my home theater system one of the output channels on the receiver blow. The volume was at average or a lil above average, my wife was not yelling at me to turn it down so it was not that loud ? hehehe
Questions of the day is has anyone had trouble with or heard of getting static on the audio from a backed up DVD that has caused a spike in volume enough to blow there audio?
I got lucky and my receiver was still on warranty. Onyko is one of the best sounding and performing receivers I have ever owned. It might of been just time for that output channel to go. Does the quality of the audio that gets copied when backing up DVD go down as much as the video when you have to compress the files? I think it was K-19 that I was watching and even after removing everything cept for the movie, it still was like an 89% on the shrink factor.
Any comments on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Wow it actually blew out one of your channels? Actually I have never really noticed any problem with audio. As far as I know it doesn't get compressed.... I'm going to burn a disc in a few minutes so I'll burn it to my HDD and see, after compression, if the size of the audio track has changed. I never paid any attention to it. Maybe it was just coincidence that your audio channel failed.
89% compression in Shrink is actually very little. With Shrink, 100%= no compression. Usually keeping it above 75% or so works OK for me.
Well after ripping with Decrypter, the 5.1 audio was 380 MB without compression. Next, I compressed the main title only and backed it up to the hard drive. I opened the compressed files in Shrink. The audio did not change size during compression, it was still 380 MB. The compression level used was 90.2%
Thanks for the reply and checking that out for me, makes me feel better thinking it must of been time for that channel to go and more than likey not caused by an improfection on the Dvd becasue of backing up. Now all I have to do is wait about 2 weeks for my receiver to come back from warrenty work and I be back in busness <---- spellcheck that please! I went to school in wisconsin.
