Strangely I didn't know DVD Decrypter was replaced by ImgBurn until yesterday....

 

Anyways... I always use Verbatims, but I've had a lot of discs stalling and having big problems with garbled audio/video for periods in the second half.

 

I think it might be related to buffer becoming empty, maybe because my HD is really fragmented.

 

Well I've used ImgBurn now for ~5 DVDs and even used Verify (never used it on DVD Decrypter) and have had no problems at all.

 

Is it more reliable at this?

 

Is there a need to use Verify? This just reports if there were problems, right? If I'm having no problems consistently, then it's a waste 20 min?

 

Cheers and great product!

The burn relies on the burner/firmware/media combination: the software just feeds the data. Look for updated firmware for your burner and try all the available write speeds.

LUK has always stated that continuing development of ImgBurn's burning engine means it's significantly better than the one in DVDD, though I don't know whether or not the improvements mitigate any problems that could have resulted in the "discs stalling and having big problems with garbled audio/video" issue that you mention.

 

See the last paragraph of this Wikipedia article.

 

As for 'Verify', the accepted wisdom is that it's always worth doing. I always switch it on, though it only takes ~6 minutes for a full single-layer DVD on my machine. You could skip it if you're confident of the behaviour of your burner/media combination or like taking risks :)
