I'm very new to burning DVD's. I have DVD decrypter and shrink. When I play back the DVD's that I have burnt they start to "break up" part way through. The sound and picture goes berserk. What is happening and what can I do to fix it???? Any suggestions???
What brand media are you using and what is the media code? Your problems are usually down to poor media. As you are a novice to copying your movies this should be of good help to you. This is what to do if you are having trouble backing up your movies: Here is the free way of making perfect backups: 1) DVDFab Decrypter - this wil break the movies encryption while ripping the movie to your HDD http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm 2) VobBlanker - Not always needed, but it will get rid of any protection that DVDFD left behind. VobBlanker also allows you to blank,replace,cut and strip titles. http://www.jsoto.posunplugged.com/vobblanker.htm 3) DVDShrink - this will allow you to compress the movie to fit onto a blank DVD-5 disc. Select your output as an ISO image http://filehippo.com/download_dvdshrink/ 4) Imgburn - the best free burner around http://www.imgburn.com/ Here are some guides: http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=51904 DVDFab Decrypter guide http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/334154 DVDFab Decrypter and VobBlanker guide by Alkohol http://www.dvdr-digest.com/articles/article_vobblanker_page1.html VobBlanker guide http://www.mrbass.org/dvdshrink/ Shrink guide The other free option: Use RipIt4Me. I do not know anything about ripit4me so I will leave you with the excellent guide by arniebear. You can also download it from the same link http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/360110 The other way $$$$$ Anydvd works in the background to automatically remove the copy protection of a DVD movie. All you have to do is start up anydvd and continue using your normal compression engine, whether it's shrink, recode or clonedvd, It's that easy. Before you pay for this excellent program you have a 21 day trial http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html What else to do if the above does not work: 1) Update your dvdwriters firmware 2) Invest in good quality media Taiyo Yuden and Verbatims are best 3) Burn @4x 4) Check your dvd's for dirt, scratches 5) clean your dvd If your dvd still does not back up, you most properbly have a badly authord dvd, so your only option is to exchange it.
