Hey guys. Been having serious problems with DVD's and VCD's turning to garbage and skipping and eventually coming to a complete freeze forcing me to rewind and then fast forward in hopes I can get past the freeze. The first half of the movies always look and sound great, but not long after the halfway mark the results are always the same. I have also noticed on DVD's where I put 2 movies on one disc the same thing will happen to both movies. My movies usually will finish playing just fine if i can manage to get them farther than the freeze. I use the same software I always have that before never gave any problems. For my DVD's I normally use Nero or Sonic MyDVD, and VCD's mainly are already in .bin format so i use Alcohol. My burner is a TSSTcorp TS-H552L wich I've never heard of, but it came in my HP. I've tried several different brands of CD's and DVD's at different burning speeds with the same results. I always make sure to close all programs and never multitask while burning. I bought this computer brand new just a few months ago and have had this problem from the start. If anyone has even the slightest idea as to what could be the problem it would be a great help. Sorry for the long post, but this is driving me crazy. Thanks a ton guys!
I have the same problem with mine. I have the same dvd writer which came with my hp. I tried everything but havent been able to fix it. If you have any further please let me know.
this burner seems to be picky when it comes to media, have a look... http://www.videohelp.com/dvdwriters...om=&bdrom=&orderby=Name&hits=25&Search=Search ... hers a few more... http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=174356 ..and... http://www.samsung.com/Products/Opt...es/OpticalDiskDrive_DVDWritables_TS_H552L.asp
at least im not alone in this. We have been using my son's dvd player lately for burned movies and I havent had a problem yet. Its some cheapo dvd player too.
I've used a cheapy Diamond DVD player from Walmart, it plays everything I put in it no problem, I notice one that reads divx as well
