JN370 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 No trouble burning - IMGBurn works and I love it. The trouble is that none of my DVD+R Dl discs will play properly in any of my players - Toshiba laptop, PowerBook, XBox360, Sony DVD player, or a Phillips. I've used SONY discs, burned at both max and 1x speeds and the discs load but when they begin to play I get a black screen w/ some chopped audio and then the image freezes w/ more audio, some video - mostly pixellated - with bad sound and so on and so forth. Any ideas? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JN370 Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Haven't found the Verbatim disks yet. Still looking. Verified every burn. Tried a Memorex disk earlier with the same results as before. It loaded quicker though. Thanks again. Still trying. Going to find Verbatim disks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JN370 Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Thank you. Side note - just tried playing the Memorex copy in my POwerBook and iDVD gave me the following error message: "Can not verify copy protection. can not play dvd." Is it me, or am I makin' strides? IF it matters, I'm copying LOST: Season 1 from ISO files of commercial discs. I'm a NetFlix addict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Commercial discs usually are protected, so, depending on the program you've used to copy the original DVDs, the protection might not have been removed. Anyway, we can't talk about that here On your powerbook try VLC Media Player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinningwheel Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 ImgBurn is a burning tool only. If you need further info about ripping I would suggest Google as we do not discuss it on these pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blutach Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 What you've described is usually associated with the player not liking cheap media or the player's laser "going south". But it can also be that the DVD has not be decrypted (just copying the files will not remove the decyption which scrambles data at a packet level and therefore exactly result in what you are experiencing and precisely what the studio intended). As said before, we can't help with decrypting issues. Sorry. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
