    hehe, i replied to that thread~ :) also, to add to THIS thread...i used to use an optorite DD1205, it was a 12x drive/burner..died within 6 months~! i have found optorite's build quality to be sub-par, not a very good drive when i had it...since then i have switched to a sony dru-710a, pioneer dvr-109, nec 3520a, and liteon 1633s...all of which perform GREAT, leaves the optorite in the dust.

    i think your combination of an average/below average drive plus questionable media is giving you these problems...along with too fast of a burn speed. i know $$ is always an issue along with the fact your choices may be limited in your area, but, i would get a good burner 1st off, secondly use ONLY the MCC disc that you have from the other thread creaky linked you (Verbatims 8x dvd+r are also the MCC003 coding, they are VERY GOOD media) and lastly slow down your burns to 4x for less chance of errors. that should do it, for now at least....

    i had an optorite drive that read about 6 discs, wrote one, and was exchanged for my current trusty Sony burner. no more optowrite for me, that taught me for picking a drive i'd never heard of before

    optorite drives REALLY SUCK in my OWN opinion, i had 2 of them, the 2nd being from an RMA since the 1st one died...this one lasted a little longer...maybe 8 months? then died too..i gave up after that, didn't want to deal w/ another return for SAME drive that would possibly last maybe a year? switched drives immediately, i have been happy ever since with my current ones :)

    I've forgotten I had this thread alive, that's why I've posted that on the media forum...

    Well, where I come from there are no many choices really about burners...suffice to say that this Optorite is considered to be "top of the line"

    So, if discs are good (such as MCC) should I still decrease burning speeds??? In other words should I always burn at very low speeds???

    i and many others preach the 4x speed. i did 8x one on an 8x TY disc last night (Shanghai Noon - excellent but i digress) and watched it straight after. burnt fine, but i did that just as a test, i still prefer to stick to 4x. more importantly i preach 4x, people can always speed up if they want to later.

    I have a Plextor that is considered one of the best drives, it will burn a TY or Verb at double the rated speed. But I keep it down to 4x because there is less chance of errors. You may get a playable disk at a higher rate of speed but if you ever have to recopy that disk you may not be able to because of the errors. Just my opinion.

    i forgot to add i only use MCC and TY, and i still keep the speed down. maybe one day we will all be able to do rated speeds but in my humble opinion dvd burning is just not as established as cd burning (not sure it will be, shunting between 4 and 9GB around is a lot different to a quick 700MB cd)

    I always keep my burn speeds at 4x on both my drives (in my sig) even with high quality media and recommend the same speed or slower for those having problems. A nero history log would be helpful to point out some other possible areas in question.

    I burned a 8x TY the other day at 16x just for $hits and giggles and although it played ok (no freezing or pixelating) there were some verticle bands that moved across the screen from left to right throughout the movie. Probably wouldn't be too noticable on a small tv but was pretty obvious on my 52" hdtv. 4x for me boys.

    would it help if I pasted a Nero log file? where do I get it?

    Last discs were burnt at 2x... I went from burning at 8x to snail-recording at 2x

    Firmware for burner is up to date, dma settings are on etc, that vob/ifo message is the cause of your problem, somethings gone screwy with the way you ripped/put together the movie or compilation or whatever

    In the case of your burner I've had to check optorite firmware for a few posts recently so know its up to date. Can't find the link at the moment, you can google search for it if you like
