Hi there,

Memosux oops Memorex media are one of the worst media out there

Playback issues are usually caused by:

1- Cheap Media (Get rid of those Memorex)
Get Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, Maxell
Of course they are a little bit more expensive, but you get what you pay for

2- Burned too fast. To prevent skips/freeze and illegal disk like your seeing, burn those at 2.4x MAX. Better / great media 4x MAX.

If you have Taiyo Yuden, fine burn at 8x but I burn at 4x MAX to be save, specially when dealing with DVD Video.

Burn those Memorex at 2.4x MAX (DVD+R) and see if it helps.
What speed do you usually burn those ?

Download VSO Inspector v1.1 --> http://www.vso-software.fr/

Do a Sector Scan and a File Scan on those Memorex that you burned.
If they are NOT 100% error free, you will have issues playing them !

 

Looks like cougar_ii beat me to this memosux thread, LOL

Which memorex +r do you have? My money is on Cmags!

Memorex DVD+R 4x (CMC MAG.F01)
Memorex DVD+R 4x (MBIPG101-R03-000)
Memorex DVD+R 4x (RICOHJPNR01)
Memorex DVD+R 4x Printable (MCC-003-000)
Memorex DVD+R 8X (CMC MAG E01)
Memorex DVD+R 8X (PHILIPSC08)
Memorex DVD+R 8X (PRODISCR03)

Use this free,handy program to get the MID code:

Dvd decrypter will also tell you.

 

Hi there,

He already has VSO Inspector v1.1 installed, that should provide him the Media ID.

"If he took my advice"

 

Looks like you bully's hurt their feelings since they haven't replied back Memorex strikes again.

 

i'm using memorex dvd+r 8x..thank you for your fast reply.i'll try these and then check it out will also try diff. dvd thanks alot for your help

 

I just downloaded Iso Inspector 1.1 and ran a couple of scans on a Yuden000-T02 and a phillips +2.4x: CMAG-R01-00 and they both turned up 100% good.

I do love my benq 1620s!

 

Hello saugmon,

What I like about VSO Inspector is, well that it's FREE is good

But I like that it does a sector scan, but also does a File Test, reads all files like you when you play it or copy them.

So it's a double test !

 

Ya talked me into it too. Nice simple utility. I'd seen cougar talk about it many times but never used it personally. It's free so it's downloaded now. Thanks cougar.

I noticed that file test but ignored it. I'll have to tinker around with it. The price is right!

I'm having trouble with dvdinfopro. I finally was able to download the free version a couple days ago.It allows me to check the MID codes,but won't run the PIE/PIF scans.

 

Yeah another thing I don't like about dvdinfopro free vs is you have to update it twice a month seems like. I started useing and recommending dvd identifier for IDing media.

 

Yep, that's also why i've been recommending dvdidentier. Dvdinfopro still says the free version expired in january of 05. If I can get it to download,then a couple weeks later,it expires.
