i just copied a disk and i notice when i turn it over to see the writeable side that its have this odd skip mark just after it birng, like the rest of the disk had been burn but this one area had not been burn so can any tell me what dose it and should i need to be concern by it?
It kinda sounds like a bad dye application so you may have some playback problems. I had something similar w/ some riteks and yes they did skip when played. What brand of media are you using? Burn speed?
verbatim disk, im only running at a slow speed of 4x becuase i find it doesnt skip as much as it should. i just made another copy after seeing if the disk was just dirty and it did it again on another disk this time that dark spot wasnnt as big.
Verbatim is usually some quality stuff using the best dye & application. Hopefully they were made by MCC (or maybe not that would explain the problem!). Here's a prog you can dl to tell who manufactured them: http://dvd.identifier.cdfreaks.com/ Post back the id. Bad spindle maybe?? Don't know but anything is possible. It's kinda hard to describe what it looked like but the riteks that had the weird spots on them - they were usually very small but were darker/different color than the rest of the disc. You could only see them after they were burned.
yeah thats what it is but after two tries and choose a conpleat random disk from the stack and it works not like great,i use that program you gave me.
Well if it's the same thing from my experience they were worthless - it's why I stopped using ritek. Verbatim is better than ritek though. The whole spindle was pretty hit or miss. Have you tried playing them? Sorry can't be of more help on these but I think you got a bad batch which is not that common w/ verb's. Keep the burn speed at 4x or less that may help.
I believe that Verbatim life plus were the ones to get. [bold]Some[/bold] of the verbs out there are not the best.
don't let creaky hear you say that... @ danty0.... my thinking... you have a bad original disk.. a bad press. any errors while buring? did it produce the ring in the same exact spot? if so, its a bad original disk.... CRC errors. try another movie, same media... if it happens again, then its the burner possibly... but if it turns out fine, then you know it was a bad 'original' disk problem, not the media or burner.
no after the third try i got it working ok now and no i didnt get any errors during the download and the putting the dvd on my computer for amoment till i burn it. i dont know i choose a disk out of random and it work this time so i do think its something with the disk itselfs and also might be the original sinces it really scratch up but seem to work so far.
@danty0 It really sounds like a bad/uneven dye application on those verb's. Keep the burn speed a low as possible to try and reduce this. It will probably be hit or miss on which discs this happens to - at least that was my experience and why I use TY almost exclusively. If you are able to rip the disc to your hd - those scratches do not transfer from the source disc to the media you are writing to. If your are burning on the fly you may get a corrupt file copied but you won't be able to physically see this on the disc.
