Today I've received an answer from Pioneer. They want me to send my DVR-530H to them for service. So I hope they can do something about the problem. I've tried the DVD's that didn't work on my player on two other Pioneer systems, DCS-323, and the DVD's worked on them both.

None of my DVD-drives seems to support PI PO scan, nothing happens when I start the scan. I've the output (*.ibg files) from both machines, they don't say very much to me. I've problably burned 15 copies of the same movie and until now the results have been the same. I burned and verified the DVD on both machines. It went well on my new machine that usually has problems. On my old machine that never had any problem - now the verify part didn't go through, twice - I got I/O error - unrecovered read error. Then I tried the DVD's on my stand-alone DVD players. The DVD that couldn't be verified (burned on my old machine) skipped a lot on my Pioneer 530H but NOT on my Pioneer 454!! Then I tried the DVD burned on my new machine that 99% produced faulty copies - it woked FINE on both stand-alone DVD players... I saw another movie tonight and it skipped about 5 times during 1,5h. I burned the same movie again on my usually faulty computer and then the movie skipped about 2 times and not for so long time as the other copy. I saw the movie on the 530H. I've sent an e-mail to Pioneer about the problem, eager to get their answer. I think I'm going crazy...

I'm running chkdsk now. I burn with 4x speed and the buffers seems fine, they are both about 100% all the time.

Seems like my explanation of the problem isn't the best. So to clearify, the problem occurs with movies burned on my new computer, regardless if I use the HP 740 or HP 640, on my stand-alone DVD player(s), Pioneer DVR-530H or Pioneer DV-454. Sorry for not making it absolutely clear from the beginning...

Since my new computer arrived I've problem with movie playback on my DVD player connected to my TV. In almost every movie I've burned the playback skip forward a few seconds, choppy playback etc. With my old computer I've never encountered this problem. It has a HP DVD 640d and my new computer has a HP DVD 740b. Both with the newest FW. I've used DVD Decrypter until today when switching to ImgBurn (same problem with both programs). If I install the HP 740b in my old computer I don't get the problems mentioned. If I install the HP 640d in my new computer, same problem occur. So it seems like my new computer is causing this problem, or what do you think?!
