Bad Burns

Thought I'd post this here as this is begining to drive me insane.

For some reason I keep getting bad burns on backup DVD's.

The source fle runs perfectly on a PC when mounted or played through VLC but when I burn to disk the majority will have something wrong with them. It could just be something as a dejavu moment or just a few blocks on screen.

I finally snapped when watching a film tonight that just blocked out, died and stopped playing in the dvd player.

I'm using TDK DVD+R and an LG GH22LS30 burner on a PC with 8GB RAM running Windows 7. To burn I'm using ImgBurn.

I'm not quite sure where I'm going wrong and why I keep getting these bad burns.

Can anyone shed some light on the matter?

 

Without saying anything against the disks you are using, I would switch to Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden.
Probably ImgBurn will select the optimum speed for the disks - in any case, ease back from the maximum on the label.

 

OK Thanks,

I'll give it a go

 

I burn at 4x speed and only use Verbatim great backups all the time

 

Use Verbatim as suggested but also try diffrent burning program - nero & ashampoo are good

 

you will finned the same thing with Nero i am using dvdflick it is shoud work a lot better head the same problem

 

TRY: DVD-R's

GOOD LUCK DUDE !!!

 

You can test it first with a DVD-RW (it burn at 4x automaticly) you will see a big difference !!!

 

Agree, DVD-R are better than DVD+R

 

I agree on the DVD-R thats what I use also, AnyDVD and Nero Recode

 

I ADD: DVD-R are also better 'cos:

After you burn a DVD-R....you can go back and "Edit" them, using programs like Roxio Builder or others, etc......by make them to bypass frames, previews, comercials, etc.... you do not want to see.

NOTE: The Original Burn will be there.....but the DVDplayer do not gonna read it them on your play-back when you watch them.
