hi everyone i've backed up about 150 video's and dvd's to date. always check the copies play o.k on my cheap stand alone alba player. if they play o.k on that, they will play on anything. the problem is about 8 of the discs lately will not load with the message [no mp3 files found ], burn again of hard drive no prob. why is this and what's the cure. am useing shrink and decrypter.
kocher. hi. i'm useing ridisc -r id ritek g04, i'm not to good on the tech. side. i thought that mp3 was something to do with audio. so if the disc had burnt o.k that the disc would have played o.k but with no audio. geoff
well i was not expecting u to have used a good media, but u did so thats not the problem. there are rumors floating around that dvd-r's dye can fade, in as little as 6-8 months. lots of factors though--esp storage. how do u tore ur back up dvds? i store mine flawlessly in real dvd cases and always store them vertically as opposed to horizontally. nearly everyone says that they read somewhere that storing them vertically is best, as i have read this too, thats what i do. hoestly i think ur dye may have just faded, but if u got the dvd again, i would not sweat it too much, maybe try storing better, or maybe try new media, even though ritek g04 is spose to be top tier, it might just not be great with ur system.
oh forgot one little thing--i have about 100 back ups on memorex(b4 i found this site) from about a year ago and they all still play fine. they are cmc mag which is spose to be terrible(bottom tier), but it works in my system. now i use taiyo yuden, as they are "the King" and they are cheaper than aything in a retail store.
kocher. hi. thanks for your thoughts. i think you misunderstood what i meant. i did'nt explain very well.these disc's are new burn. i always test before i put them in store. not old disc's i'm trying to play after i've had them stored for while. not to worry not enough coasters to bother about. geoff
hi kocher. yes it's still the same problem. had it again the other day. shrink then decrypt then burn. check it in my stand alone, up comes message (no mp3 files found) then it's ejected. did'nt get any response from anybody except yourself, so i assume maybe there's no answer to the problem. of course if it is only happening to me, which is quite within the bounds of reason (stranger things happen at sea) i'm not clever enough to work it out myself with my limited amount of knowledge. if i do then i shall let you know.
sorry, been unbelieveably busy, building my house right now and the six am to nine pm crap is takin its toll. i have no clue y it is saying no mp3 found. mp3 is "digital audio" but never knew it was on dvds. have u changed anything in ur burning process?
@kocher. hi i 'm sorry i did'nt realize you had posted. no have'nt changed anything, its happened twice since i last spoke to you. so i will have to put up with it for the time being. i know how you feel i to am knocking 2 houses into one at the mo (been doing it in my spare time for the last 4 years) thank's for your concern. geoff
