should i be worried about this happening when i burn: W 21:02:07 Waiting for buffers to recover... W 21:02:10 Waiting for hard disk activity to reach threshold level... will it cause playback issues?

OK thanx LUK i will check that out because i sued to be able to play discs perfect and my dvd player has been acting up a bit even on original dvd discs so its propably at fault. thanx for your help guys.

my drive is set as master and i checked the DMA thing, but i have no idea about this "80 wire ide cable"

Heres the log of the last thing i burned and they almost always look like this: I 20:54:21 ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 started!

Hey guys/ladies I am having problems with playing back some dvd i have backed up. when playing them on a standalone dvd player you can see some of the fram skipping which is really bugging me. When i watch the .img on my computer though it plays perfectly so there must be something im doing wrong. I am using a Pioneer DVR-111 dvd burner with latest firmware (v1.29) and using Verbatim Full-Face Printable (16x) DVD-R media (MCC03RG20). Any ideas of what i can be doing wrong? any help would be appreciated. Thanks. P.S. on another note i was wondering if you guys could tell me which media is better in your opinion: Verbatim (Taiyo Yuden) (16x) DVD-R (TYG03) or erbatim Full-Face Printable (16x) DVD-R (MCC03RG20) Thanx again

so why is there two different types then? im jsut a bit confused...

Hey guys (sorry if this is the wrong forum or has been covered before). I was thinking of getting the follwing media Verbatim (16x) Inkjet Printable DVD-R - 50 Tub. Dye Info: MCC03RG20, and before i went ahead with the purchase i would like to know if this would be good choice or if theres a better alternative out there? for the most part i want to backup my fillms but the dvds that i got down at the store keep failing. also what is the difference between dvd-r and dvd+r media and which is better? thanx in advance.

whats the point in having region lockouts then if the format for different areas wont let you play the dvd anyway?

i have checked the image file and it says that it has no region protection on it?

Hey i am trying to burn a dvd movie i made onto a a Panasonic DVD+R (model number: LM-PR12NE10P) with a Empreix DVD+-/RW writer (model number: DRW11161M) but when i put the burnt dvd into a dvd player it either is in black and white or the screen filckers contantly, different things happen on different dvd players. However when i play it on a computer it is fine? How do i get it to work correctly on a dvd player? thanx in advance.
