for the past few months i have ripped dvds and compiled dvds from other sources, the problems i have encountered is that whatever type of disc i use i get a perfect working copy that will play on any home dvd player and pc. After a period of time (few weeks) the disc wont read in either the home dvd player or the pc dvd drive. I have tried various types of dics + & - format and different brands of discs, i am currently using ritek discs and still having the same problems. the software im using to rip dvds is dvd shrink clone dvd i am using dvd lab to authur my dvds and using the latest version of nero to burn my dvd files on a sony DW-u18a burner. can anybody make any suggestions why i am having these problems?
To IBL..thanks very much for the links, spent the past couple of days checking/testing the faulty discs that i now have in my possesion, the majority of the faulty discs turned out to be one particular brand..(sky media)i have only had a few faulty verbanim discs..and so far the discs that i have been using for the past month are ARITA ritek G04, and touch wood i aint had a duff one yet. its a funny old game innit???
