hello! i;m backing-up some avi files on a dvd-r media. i do not convert them into dvd's, just avi files on a dvd-iso format. they are written perfectly, but when i try to play them from the dvd-rom drive they produce skipping, jerky sound and video, and some of the files cannot be read at all. some of the files that can be read, when i copy them to the hard drive again, they are being played perfectly. i tried reading the disc from another drive but same problem occurs. thanking you in advance.
If they dont skip before burning, and then do skip after burning, then my guess would be that your using cheap media.Try Taiyo Yuden,verbatim,or ritek.
it's deffinately not the media.. i've tried the exact same avi's on different media but same things.. on some cases it even stopped the burning process, producing a failure message in nero..
