Burned copy stops. Please help.

[swimmer]

Hi,

 

I have made a backup copy of one of my DVDs (DVD-9).

 

The original disk runs without a glitch but the copy I have made while playing on my PC stops at the same spot every time.

 

I was advised that the layer break wasn't properly set and this can be corrected by IMGburner (it is IMG file).

 

Could you please refer me to a tutorial or manual explaining how to do this? Or may be somebody would be kind enough to provide the instructions?

 

Thank you!

A log of the burn would be handy if you still have it.

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately I do not have it. Removed. If it could be of help, we are talking about a double layer DVD disk.

 

Sorry for the limited information.

Any chance you can try another one and post the log.

 

It is very difficult for us to try to work out what's going on without a log.

 

What did you copy it with to end up with an IMG file?

As above the log tells us all sorts of useful information, including whether the media you're using is gonna give you troubles as well !

Thank you everybody for your input!

 

Unfortuantely the log is gone. More than that, I was too quick to delete the original VOBs too. Now I am trying to restore them in order to repeat the whole way aтв to get the log.

 

There is though another but I am not sure whether it would work. I can rip my copy (the one with glitch) with DVDShrink, get VOB files that can be used to create ISO. Would it be OK?

 

Initially I used VOBEdit, then IFOEdit (created IFO) and finally created ISO with Image Classic Tool 0.91.7 and then burnt it with DVD Decryptor on DVD + R double layer disk.

 

Thank you!

We (us, they, I, them) can't help you with any problems you might be having backing up DVDS. We can help with burning disk images but that's about it. Sorry.

 

I shall now return to my goose-stepping and book burning in an effort to appease our imperial overlord who is (without doubt) watching this forum for any signs of impropriety.

No Improprieties here Shamus.............

Too subtle?

LOL!! I think I've had enough beer for today.

[dbminter]

It's about as subtle as singing, to the tune of the between verses part of Supercalifragolisticexpialidocious ( sp? ) :

 

"Join the Party! Goose step in time!

Join the Party! Goose step in time!

Obey the orders or you'll die!

Join the Party! Goose step in time!"

 

 

 

 

Or, just sing the theme to that hit Brit-com, "Heil, Honey! I'm Home!"

Thanks everybody for your input.

 

I have made a new copy of the original DVD with DVD Shrink. Then I have created ISO with Image Classic Tool 0.93.1 and played it back from the hard drive (emulated with Virtual Daemon) with Media Player. The movie freezes again once Chapter 13 starts.

 

I have saved the log that Image Classic Tool had created and can post it if it might help but it?s huge (over 100 pages!). It mostly shows:

 

0.01% done, estimate finish Wed May 3 12:33:15 2006

0.03% done, estimate finish Wed May 3 12:33:15 2006

0.05% done, estimate finish Wed May 3 12:33:15 2006

0.07% done, estimate finish Wed May 3 12:33:15 2006

0.09% done, estimate finish Wed May 3 12:33:15 2006

 

and so on and after this just a few lines

I also tried another way to burn. I burnt DVD from the same files but with Nero (without creating ISO) and also played it back with Media Player. There is no freeze at all!

 

When I play ISO with Media Player, I see 30 Chapters. When I play the movie (files) created with Nero, I see a different structure: there are no chapters but there are 7 Titles. The spot that freezes is somewhere in the middle of the Title and it runs without freezing.

 

I did my best to explain what I?ve got. Sorry if something is not clear. Thank you for your time!

 

Though Nero worked I cannot use it for burning as it cuts off the language options and leaves default Italian.

You need to use PgcEdit to create your disc image if it's a double layer one.

 

ImgTools Classic isn't really right for that job.
