Hey has anyone experienced problems with burned media after its been playing for a while (heat realted)? I have two DVD home players both sony one I have been using for a long time the other hardly at all. When I play a movie in the used one it starts to pixelate about 1 hour into the movie (not with all movies) but if I try the same movie in the 2nd player no problems. Anyone have any experience with heating up a disk and what could possibly be happening. Obviouly I have a problem when one drive doesnt work as well as another (dirty? out of alignment?) but some kind of chemical transformation is happening because if I cool down the disk it plays the same sectors fine only until it heats up does the disk fail. Anyone clean their DVD before? Whats the procedure?
your problem could be the disk itself. Not your player. even same brand player can have trouble with a disk while the other same brand player plays it just fine. Is this a backup DVD recordable or is it the original disk?
The 2 home players are the same models. I thought about that (they might be crappy media) strange thing is these disks played fine a couple of months ago and show no signs of scratches/defects visable im sure if I scan them they will show some bad sectors I just dont get why they play fine in the one player and not in the other. Im thinking its because of thermal heat of being dirty (one player versus the other). These are burned disks. My originals are all fine although I havent used one in a long time.
It could be the lense in teh players. Burned DVDs are more sensitive to things than pressed DVDs so you have to be a bit more anal with them.
Sometimes Poor/Crap Media will go bad after several months. What is the brand/media ID? Bad Media tends to work in one player or drive and not in another one even if they are the same..
I agree with 2Old...... I used to use crappy media before I knew better and after a while the good burns turned...... CRAPPY!!!!
LOL I have 400 Crap Disc, that I burned and cannot play or recover the movie.. I have them stacked in a corner of my computer room with a sign on the wall over them in Red Crayon saying “NEVER USE CRAP MEDIA AGAIN!” My Media of choice now is, Verbatim 16x, +R’s, coded MCC004……………. And that’s it!
