I have backed up DVD videos (not full length movies) such as Band of Brothers, Billard Tournaments, etc. that appear to back up properly. Using the DVD player menu screen to select a particular segment of the video causes the player to hang up. Appears to have found the correct track ... but will not play. Does play from the opening scene. Using DVD -R's (Fuji), CSS/CPPM disc encryption, Sony burner. Have tried (1ClickDVDCopy + dvd43), (1ClickDVD copy + DVDdecrypter) and (DVDShrink + DVDdecrypter) all with same results. Appreciate any ideas to solve my problem. Thanks.
When you say DVD player menu, do you mean the dvd player in your PC, or your standalone? Reason being, there are still a lot of standalones that have compatibility issues with certain media. Buy cheap media? most regret it in the long term! Have you tried to play it in another standalone?
A change in media has my vote too - an Addition, In DVD Shrink, "edit", "preferences" adjust the "Target size" to "Custom" 4360 MB - it may help also - Pete
It is the standalone DVDmenu on the TV screen. I have considered different mfg for the blanks ... Also, have considered DVD +R's. Am in the process of checking on another standalone player. Thanks for your suggestions. John
Bingo! Pete and Pulsar were right on. Changed media and all is well. Went to www.nomorecoasters.com to assist in making choice. Only TDK of the highest rated group was available locally at COMPUSA or Best Buy. Anyway ... TKK's work just fine. FUJI's headed for the trash can. By the way, I found the rest of the top group using my favorite hardware/software search engine www.pricewatch.com. Always good pricing and reliable vendors. Never have been disappointed with this site ... so far anyway. Thanks for your help and hope you have safe and happy holidays. John
