i'm producing glitchy disks

on random parts of the movies i copy there are "glitches" where random parts of the screen will get pixeley for a split second, or sometimes the entire movie turns into big greenish squares, or the movie just freezes up.

My burner is Samsung TS-H552U
Fugi DVD+R (made in Japan, those are the good ones right)
also had problems with sony DVD-R disks
I compress to 4300 MB
i've burned at 2.4 speed and still bad
I use dvd shrink to compress and nero to burn, tried using nero for both and had bad results
firmware seems to be updated, it's the "06" version, don't have the exact info right here, right now

HELP please

 

I'm at work right now so i can't get that for you. I'll get it as soon as i get home but that won't be until about 6 tonight

 

On those pixellation and freezing issues:

How are you viewing them? Stand alone player or pc drive?

The rest of your info looks great. Good quality media,slow burn speed,but you can increase that backup target to 4360 mbs on the quality ty fuji media.They should code as Yuden000-T02

90% of the time those issues are while they are viewed on stand alone players.

These issues need verified:

1) Play one or two of those problematic discs on as many stand alones/pc drives that you can.Go visit your friends and family and slap those backups in their drives. Notice the area where those issues take place while you view them in other drives.
The more players,the better on this verification.

2) Play one of those problematic discs on the pc using that samsung burner drive to play it. Look at general area where those issues show up. This drive should play it's own backups at near perfection.

3)On your next backup,bump up that burn speed to 4x. I've noticed my yuden000-T02 backups are having a harder time being read by my pc drives on the ones burned at 2.4x-crc errors. The backups that were at 4x are near perfect. Very odd!!
Please post back your results

 

i'm going to my parents tonight so i'll take some disks over there and try them out.

4x speed isn't an option for me, it has max, 2.4 and 1x
How do i get the 4x option

Also how do i verify that i have TY disks

 

Are you just using DVD Shrink to rip?

Have you tried using DVD Decrypter?

Click on the link in my sig, and follow the guide.

Good Luck!

 

Maybe something is wrong with your DMA settings. You should be able to burn over 8x with TY discs (however 4x is the way to go).

Maybe you need some drivers for your motherboard. Look for Driver updates from the motherboard manufacturer's wesite. You might need an IDE driver or something.

====== *** Nero-Burning Rom, History File *** ======

 

Looks like a fine log report to me,they're even booktyped to dvd-rom.

Definitely test them out in other stand alones.

Another contributor to those issues is compression. Highly compressed backups can cause issues like this.

 

Ok,
i played them in my parents player and they worked better but not perfect. The parts that turned into the green squares didn't do that but there were still parts that got pixely. And the same is true for playing it on my pc.

So on a hunch I played the video files right off of my hard drive and there they were, the dang pixels. So i'm assuming i have a compressing issue, not a burning issue. right?

Could the problem be that i only have 512Mb of ram, i'm getting an additional gig for another reason, but i'd like to hear any other ideas.

BTW, I also checked DMA settings and they're good

 

512 mbs ram should be plenty. When you backup,just turn off all backgrounds apps like antivirus,firewall,messenger,etc. That will free up some memory.

I've only got 128 mbs rimm on my backup pc along with a p-3 celeron. Those backups look near original. The adaptive error compensation enhancements like max sharpness and max smoothness help out on the quality,but take longer. 12+ hours on that backup pc,vs 1hr on main pc using the max smoothness enhancement in dvd shrink.

 

A couple things:
1) Make sure you are not multitasking/ or running any other programs in the background while the burning process is going on.
2) Make sure and run a virus check and spyware check.
3) Run Nero's Disc Quality Test to see how the disc looks. High PIE/PIF's will cause bad playback.

I just had my 1st bad YUDEN002 burn on one of my OZ discs...pixeled on menus and some chapters....ran it through to Disc Quality Test and it turned out to be a bad disc. Scan looks like $#!+.

 

I close everything out when i'm copying/burning,
but tomorrow i'm going to try the following stuff

1. make sure there isn't stuff running in the background and run my antivirus and spyware stuff
2. try compressing with the adaptive error stuff turned on
3. try using dvd decrypter instead
4. try out neros disk quality test

you'll be hearing from me after i get all that done

thanks for all you guys help so far

 

creaky, i looked at that, sorry i didn't mention it but they're not avi. (i don't think) They're just regular dvd's the most recent being the new family guy movie. (which by the way isn't actually a movie it's just the first 3 episodes of the next season)

 

Here's a few other possibilities that can cause those issues:

Paper/sticker labels
Fragmented hard drive

 

i don't use labels,
i defraged last night, so maybe that'll help, but i've been having this problem from day 1. But maybe it was bad disks before, i was using sony dvd-r.
If the old problem was bad disks and the new problem is something else will that nero disk quality test show the old ones as bad and the new as good? Or does that just show that they burned bad. My question is does "nero disk quality test" test for quality of actual disks or quality of the copy/burn
