Quality of Movie Playback

[Al G]

First and foremost, I'll be honest with everyone in that I am new to this. That being said, I have found ImgBurn quite easy to operate. I burned about 4 movies but when I play them back they pause and skip a little. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? Please talk to me in layman terms. Thanks - AG

Without seeing a log, it's hard to say.

 

If they skip it normally means the player can't read the disc properly.

 

You can improve the quality of the burnt disc by:

 

1. Updating the firmware on your drive.

2. Burning slower (although this isn't always the case).

3. Using better media - Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden are the best.

Thanks. I'll try updating the firmware on my drive.

 

I'll also check to see what the speed is set at - I have not messed with the settings to it is burning at the default speed.

 

I use Verbatim DVD's +R.

Default is 'AWS' which unless you've configured the 'Automatic Write Speed' feature properly will end up as being 'MAX'.

 

Burn at 8x or 12x for best results.
