Hi Hope you can help me... When playing burnt dvd's i have problems with feezing and stalling...It can be from the start or in the end or just will not work.I have tried slowing down speed and changing dvd's...what i have noticest they work fine on computers but not on dvd player... I have also found that new movies seem to feeze and stall more then older movies such as "Fantastic 4" will freeze and stall but a movie as ""Terminator" works perfectly...I am lost for idea's.. Can you help this Aussie guy from the sticks??? Thanks in Advance GI
It could be a media problem, what type of blank media are you currently using? Where abouts in "The Sticks"??
Hi Gwendolin, I new to all these burning movies so sorry if i sound stupid....but am using a brand of DVD called "RITEK" DVD-R,8x,injet printable 50pcs spindle, Just a brand i got form a disc shop...so maybe the dvd's are the problem?If so why do the older movies work and the newer ones don't? Well i am from the far north Queensland a town near cairns.. Regards GI
Freezing and stuttering can also be the result of burning to fast and too close to the edge of the media. Set your target size to 4300 and burn no faster than 4x. I have burned ritek media R03, with excellent results. You might want to download DVD identifier so that you can check the media codes on your riteks to make sure of what you have.

Hi Yes i have reducest burning speed to 2x and then 4x and 4300 my target but still skiping stalling and freezing...might just be these new dvd movies which might be greating the problem Regards GI
Well first off welcome to Ad, Aussiewog lol, we ain't allowed to use that term here in the UK. Second off, we need to know what kind of program you're using, to burn DVDs' with? It maybe a media/disc problem [as Gwen implied] or it maybe summat else. Without more info,, we're buggered M8. g
Hi I am using dvd x copy platinum to read the movies and a " TSST corp cd/dvdw TS-L5 32A " burner.Don't know what brand of burner as it just came with laptop. Regards GI
I believe dvd x is a bit outdated it might be worth you having a browse around the Slysoft site. regards.
hi sounds like a compression issue aswell as software used? as old movies tend to be smaller from the start new movies are massive and need mega compressing.... you have the smaller ouput size covered and burn speed at no more than 4x... oh and i use ritek -R 8x from blankdiscshop (EXCELLANT!) used 2000 now? use dvd shrink with imgburn 2 brilliant free apps set dvd shrink to 4300meg output size
Hi Aussiewog Just a long shot but after burning about a 150 perfect DVDs I started having problems like freezing and stalling. I use good quality media so I could not understand what was going on I happened to mention this to a fellow burner who asked if I had anything running in the background? I soon realised that I had downloaded free anti virus and firewall protection from my ISP and I hadn’t disabled it when burning. I now disable it and disconnect from the Internet when burning I have had no problems since "make sure you re-enable anti virus protection when going back online"
How do you slow the record speed down to 4X and set the out put size? I am using cloneDVD2 and anyDVD.
Hi Thanks to all that have helped me and i will try everything and hopefully something will work... Thanks again GI
