    ok i just got some blank dvds no name brand, and i burned some movies on them using dvd shrink n decyrpter to burn.

    my problem is when it gets to more then half the movie it starts skipping alot or freezes the image every second.

    i am also running anydvd.

    i know they r cheap dvds but is there a way that i can make the best of them n get them to work, where they dont skip,lag, or freeze up.


    thanx alot!

    Slow you burn speed to 2x or 4x.Reduce your target size in dvd shrink.
    Cross you fingers,because even if you can get them to play after what I said to do...chances are that in a few months they wont play.
    Dont buy cheap media!!

    Buy some good/better media and burn at 4x. [bold] Stay away from memorex, hp, phillips, imation, no name brands, and retail store branded media eg: staples, compusa.[/bold]

    @JD

    I, agree.

    @neonboy

    I do not think your burner wants to use this speed to burn these disks.

    You meanys. They can always be used for a table protector under your frosty mug, skeet target practice, or mobiles.
