iNSANE Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) 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?! Old computer: HP 4155.se AMD Athlon 64 4000+ HP DVD 640d New computer: HP 4492.se Intel Dual Core D940 3.2Ghz HP DVD 740b (Seems to be a HL DataStorage drive) I use Verbatim 16x DVD-R [MCC 03RG20] /iNSANE Edited July 17, 2006 by iNSANE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movie Junkie Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 How do the discs play on your stand-alone DVD player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornholio7 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 have you run a chkdsk on your hard drive on the new machine? when burning on the new machine, how fast is it burning and what are the buffers in imgburn doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNSANE Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNSANE Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 I'm running chkdsk now. I burn with 4x speed and the buffers seems fine, they are both about 100% all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 There's no reason for the problems you're having to actually be happening then. I could understand it if your new drive didn't burn as well as the last one, but not them both not working in the new pc but working ok in the old, it just doesn't make sense! Assuming they both burn + verify ok, take a look at the graphs via DVDInfoPro - use the 'Display Graph Data using DVDInfoPro' option off the File menu. Then you could also do a PIPO scan of the discs (one burnt from each pc) and compare the two. That is of course if your drive supports scanning!

iNSANE Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) 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... Edited July 17, 2006 by iNSANE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNSANE Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 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.

volvofl10 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I've problably burned 15 copies of the same movie and until now the results have been the same. due to legal constraints regarding copying of movies ( im not suggesting you have or intend to) i wont go into any detail , but when i put my video camera film onto my hdd,then convert i to go on a blank disc if i compress it too much in shrink, this causes me to get choppy playback on differant players again, media quality can be a problem for differant players. what burns onto a disc on a pc doesnt mean the player will like/play it correctly . its a balance of finding the right media that your Burner/pc/stand alone players ALL like . probably been mentioned before, but have you just started/opened a new batch of media, or a new spindle ?
