hi,ive been into this site for a couple of years now(not registered)readin' luvin everything about this site!i had to reg.and become a member to see if you masters of the dvd backups can help me.everytime i back up a movie i'm missin' the ending(about5%)i thout it was nero,so i switched to express and the same thing is happenin'please help!
What dvd blank media are you using , also what software are you using to author/compress etc ?? What burner are you using , and what O/S & whether fat32 or NTFS ?? A rough PC spec might also help ...

sony 2.8,756mem,200hd,pioneer104dvd-r...it was workin' before i dont know what happened i was on vac.and my brother installed soo much crap i removed everyhting he installed but still no help
sorry,i was using nero and dvd shrink,now i'm using dvdxpress(i removed nero and shrink from my pc)it copys the by itself(you knew that though)
hmm ... well I would always suggest better media other than TDK's For example Ritek G04/G05 or Taiyo Yuden , Verbatim DataLifePlus I use those discs in my Pioneer 104 and all is cool , I forget which firmware I have installed but would find out if you needed to know. Also there can be times when you think you have uninstalled things , but there can be remnants left in the registry on O/S drive ;-)
i really have'nt had problems with the disc before.what is firmware?and o/s?sorry if i sound really dumb i might know what it is once ya tell me:}
ah sorry , f/w is firmware [I have looked & it is 1.40 RPC1 that I have installed on my Pioneer 104] & o/s is operating system [ie; WinXP] so do the back ups your burning have the same problem in everything you have tried to play them in [other than your DVD Player] ... is it happening on PC playback aswell ? best blank disc to use are the Ritek G04-G05 or Taiyo Yuden in my truly honest opinion ... I've only ever heard of problems w/ TDKs (you could always search the media thread to see what media is problematic) ; ]-~ _X_X_X_X_X_[small] Afterdawn Guides: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/ Afterdawn Rules: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2487 IRC : irc.addictz.net / #ad_buddies[/small]
it happens on all the movies i try 2 back up,it says cant copy vob files.also i cant even watch the original dvd on my pc!!please help.....running out of ideas................................thanx
What are you using to view DVDs on PC [PowerDVD / WinDVD] ? Did you recently install WinXP SP2 update ?? It sounds like it is a hardware problem from what you've described so far ...
I'm having similar problems, my backups are freezing and breaking up. It seem to happen near the end of the movie most of the time. I'm using TDK 4X AND PHILLIPS 8X having same problem with both media. I used dvdxcopy platinum to backup, then I tried using nero ultra to make the copies
6foot7 , damn thats tall ...I'm 6' 3" and even that can be a hindrance at times [lol] Right as stated I wouldnt trust TDK myself , but not tried any Philips media but I still wouldn't purchase them either. Ritek G04-G05 / Taiyo Yuden / Verbatim DataLifePlus It is definitely a media or firmware problem 6foot7 (and I'd be inclined to think it's the media myself) I take it you've tested your freezing back ups in another dvd player just to check etc , and the same thinig is happening ?
BY THE WAY! While making backups using nero I was doing it "ON THE FLY" instead of copying it to the harddrive first. Would this make a difference? For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about it means that I was copying from one dvd burner to another.
Yes it could well be due to burning on-the-fly ... it's not advised unless your PC has the spec to deal w/ the data transfer rate.
I FOUNG MY PROBLEM!!(sorry for yellin')i tried playin a dvd on my drive and it didn't work because i removed all of service pack2(it was messing up my webjal)so i installed all of windows codecs and boom! everything works now!thanks herbsman,and 6f7,you guys helped me look further!i hope this also helps other people out there who installed serv.pk.2
yay !! glad ya got it sorted mate Yeah I've been reading threads across aD forum of users having problems w/ SP2 I never had it installed , always be sceptical of any windows update !
