[mattie711]

All of my dvd's is am burnging play fine the first time but start skipping towards the end when played the second time. I used dvd shrink and Verbatim DVD+R disks. Is there anything I can do about this?

 

Here is the log to the last burn I did. Like I said, it plays in my DVD player fine the first time then the second time it skips at the end.

What kind of DVD player? That they play fine the first time tends to say you have a decent burn, and that it's your player acting up, perhaps when it gets warm.

One other thing I'd do is speed up your burn a little, at least 4X, and 8X would be better with 16X speed discs. If you want to burn at 2.4X, I'd look for some older slower media, 4 or 8X.

That may be the problem. I have a very old DVD player. I need to get a new one anyway, so I will try to DVD's on a new player. I will also try speeding up the burn a bit.

 

Thanks.

I've had this problem before, I cured it by telling shrink to limit to 4.3 gig and keep the burn away from the edge of the disk. It showed up again recently after I bought a HP burner. Doesn't happen with my pionerr or sony burners, so in addition to usineg hp for cds only, I now label my dvds as to which burner they came from- so I can narrow problems down sooner.

 

Now if I can just get the settop dvdrecorder to do a good job of finalizeing my rw's so I can get them into the computer and edit out commercials.!!

Cathater which home DVD recorder you got ? a Liteon by chance.

[lfcrule1972]

Are they dodgy then mate ? I am quite pleased with our Panasonic one so far and it records to all discs too, inc RAM !

[dontasciime]

Ive got / had a few of them 5005B and a couple of 5006B's , they can be picky at times with media (likes disc/ hates disc) finalize option can go wrong as well, lots of bugs in the ones I had. Paid ?276 quid for my first 5005B can get em for ?39.99 at misco now or you could last week.

I will try that as well. How do I tell Shrink to do this? I am new to all of this. Thanks.

Edit / preferences / change to custom lower 4464 to a value your discs like try 4300mb

Well I don't know whats inside but it says philips dvdr3435v/37 on the outside

 

It automatically finalizes at end of recording, but this finalise is only recognized on the settop. I have to unfinalize, and refinalise to use it in the comp. Manually finalizing, works on comp also.

Allegidly it burns everthing, but I've only done rw's on it. She watches them when she gets home and we reuse them. Someday if we find a good movie, will remove commercials and burn a final disk.

 

It took me 4 trys to record over an hour (had to read the instructions)

Way better image then vhs!!!!!!!!
