I bought some Verbatim 16x dvd+r. I tryed to burn a movie as I have been for over a year and it would not find the blank dvd. I found out my dvd+-rw drive was only an 8x drive. I went out and bought a 16X DL dvd-+rw ram drive. The new maddog one. I was burning at 16X. All the movies about half way in are choppy/freezing jumping over parts in the movie ect. I got the 16x as thats all sam's had in stock in the 100 pack for $39. I can remove the dvd from the player and fast forward to the part it was freezing making noises ect and it will play fine for a few min where it once was freezing then a few minutes later it will again freeze at a new spot. Been doing backups for a year. Using newest clonedvd and anydvd. Was buying what ever dvd+r media that sam's had in the 50 packs. Do you think the 16X is too fast to write at? What speed should I write at? Thanks
Yes, I think that burning at 16x can certainly contribute to the problem that you are describing. I do my burns at 4x and do not experience your problems. There are lots of folks here that burn faster though. The general rule is to not burn faster than 1/2 of the rated media speed. So a 16x you would burn no faster than 8x. Some here who have been at it for years do burn at the rated speed on top notch media like Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim. I do not feel that I am at that point yet. I would have to do a bunch of quality scans on burnt media before I would feel that I knew which was the best speed for a particular media type. I think that if you slow it down you will have better results.
i just started backing up dvd's,iv been using memorex 16x dvd-r and they have been working fine for me.i'v backed up 10 dvd's with no problem. i use dvdfab decrypter then clone dvd2. i guess there's a way to use clone dvd2 for both but i dont know how yet lol anyway.
seedpws 16X is WAY to fast slow your burn speed down to 4x or 8x and that will fix it polo1967 all you need is clonedvd 2 with anydvd (skip the other programs) heres a guide to use the program http://bbmayo.home.comcast.net/
thanks alot, i finally learned how to use it.my other ? is if i should also slow down my burn speed?im writing at a 16x with maybe 2 minor 1 sec. glitch's here and there. i dont really mind them.will me burning at 8x fix that? it's really not even noticable
yeah dont burn at 16x lol keep it at 4x or 8x(if you have a good machine and burner) using good media (Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim)also
cool thanks alot.one more noob question,has any of you ordered a copy of clonedvd2 or anydvd off ebay?some people are selling both but not the cd's.they say after the payment is recieved they'll send it to your email.any input on this?
...There's a sucker born every minute.... DO NOT buy these programs on EBAY, buy only from Slysoft.com!!!!
Most here despise people selling or buying SlySoft goods on E-Bay. SlySoft do a great job & I think they deserve every cent they earn.
Ditto on that bilbo65! Buy AnyDVD & CloneDVD 2 ONLY from SlySoft! Buying these from Ebay is just plain WRONG! SlySoft has proven themselves to be reliable, competent & always on top of the lates issues with updates! Case in point: A new update Today! Several very good improvements in this update too! Most of the time SlySoft has an update for new protections BEFORE they even hit the street! If someone wants The Best 2 programs out there to back DVDs up, buy them from SlySoft! 59 bucks is a good deal for the package, if they run their promo, it's 49.00 for BOTH for "afterdawn" members. How can you go wrong with that? I have NEVER regreted buying these 2 from SlySoft! The best money I ever spent. edited for typos.
DONT do it buy it from slysoft, e-bay is NOT the place to buy it [bold]WORDS OF WISDOM People are discovering that when you buy any product that is subject to "activation", you haven't really bought anything. [/bold]
wow,i was almost about to send him the payment to. i guess i'll just get it from slysoft.even if it was 7.50 for both, i rather have the support
The quality of the dvd's can vary alot even if you buy the same exact brand and speed. I now only use verb. dvd's. If you are new to burning I think you should download a FREE program called Dvd Indentifer ( do a search and you will locate it ) It tells you the real maker of the disc and aslo will have a quality page aswell to scale from. I used to use Menorex but later found that they were made by cheap manufacturing. The program DVD indent. will have you load the blank disc and it will read it then will tell you the manufacturing code then you use the guide to see where it falls on the quality scale. Verb's are high up there which is what I use now. There are just to many fake Ty's around. Remember to always burn at a slower speed 4X is what I do now. I make less costers that way and only takes a few more minutes. I have made over 200 great quality back up's with Anydvd and CloneDvD2 it's way better then other programs and faster. Yes only buy this software from Slysoft. I have asked them many question and they have ALWAYS been able to answer them well.
polo basically you would be buying his keycode that his probably running on his machine so as said DONT DO IT ,that add should not even be on e-bay ,i would report it
Pirated programs are trouble for everyone....Do not support theives. Who knows, you might be helping fund terrorism....
thanks for that dvd indentifer thing im gonna try that out i probably backed up 50 dvd's over 2 days none with problems all at 16x.i dropped it down from 16x to 12x i havent had any problems with the 16x but i think i'll be alittle safer with 12x
well i tried it and this is what came up ERROR : Unable To Initialize Disc : Not ready - Medium not present [02/3A/00] i guess it cant reAD THE DISC ANY input?
