Well, I'm a newbie, and I'm having some trouble with my dvd playback. I'm basically trying to make a backup copy of a movie, because I watch it a lot and I've had to replace it before - nothing illegal, just want to clear that up. Anyway, I used the DVD Decrypter to copy the video_ts folder to my hard drive, not going to go into detail cause that's against the rules, but it worked smoothly. Then, I used ImgBurn to create the dvd (I followed a guide for this), and it seemed to go fairly well. Then, I tried to play it in my Dvd player, and it skipped and jumped and the picture was all scrambled. I looked online and followed the suggestion of using a slower write speed, which I did, the slowest one (1x), and it worked a little better but not much better. I'm using what seems to be a recommended/popular blank dvd-r as well, a Verbatim 8x single layer, but my hard drive is a little old. I also tried several different movies to see if that might be the problem, but I'm still getting the same results. I'm not sure what it is, exactly, and I tried a few times, but mostly it just seems like I'm wasting dvds, time, and money.
You guys ask for the logs a lot, so here's the most recent:
