About burning DVDs ...
by Meggie312 - 5/31/07 3:31 PM(Wasn't exactly sure where to put this)
The scoop:
DVD 1 has lots of tiny scratches/scuffs on it. It plays fine. You burn it onto DVD 2. DVD 2 in one spot does NOT play fine, when played it has some glitches/popping sounds that DVD 1 did not have.
Is this possible? If DVD 1 plays fine, shouldn't the copy play fine too? Is this my burners fault? Is there just too many scratches? Too many questions? lol. My burner cannot be crapping out on me! It burned fine.

Is the burner more than a year old?
How fast did you record it? (hint, try 1/2 the media speed or 1/2 the recorder's top speed, whichever is lower.)
And what make media? Noname? Big spindle? Ahh....

Just my method to pick the slower speed to sidestep any age issues.
If the source media is "iffy" the copy can be same.

For me I just watch the dialog boxes and usually I see a record speed selection.

What kind of DVD are you copying?
by johnbiest - 6/1/07 10:29 PM In reply to: About burning DVDs ... by Meggie312If you have a non-copy protected DVD and are just doing a standard "disc copy", your problem is hard to explain. But if you are using a ripper and reassembling the disc, it will not be a bit-for-bit copy. There are programs that claim to do this, but I have not used them, so I can't back up that claim.
Burning DVDs; sometimes errors
by GateKeeper50 - 6/2/07 12:24 PM In reply to: About burning DVDs ... by Meggie312I have found that cleaning the burner and player lasers helps, the type and brand of media affects output, write as little as possible for labeling purposes (some recommend no labels), try reading the burned copy on your PC to verify quality of burn. Also make sure there is no dust on surface of disk to be burned.

by lil singh - 6/2/07 3:21 PM In reply to: About burning DVDs ... by Meggie312i had the same problem. my burner was a bit dodgy but i realized that that wasn't the problem. the program i used was nero. it gave me a quick option which i chose first. it didn't work. then i tried again but saved it in a different format. then the dvd played fine. try this see if it works lol!
Burning DVD's
by WAArnold - 6/4/07 7:44 PM In reply to: reply to burning dvds by lil singhI would also suggest checking to ensure the type DVD you are using. You may be using a DVD-R and your player only accepts DVD+R.
there are a few problems
by batman823 - 6/5/07 7:40 AM In reply to: About burning DVDs ... by Meggie312You said that dvd1 has a lot of surface scratches....
each one doesn't make a difference. But when combined, the tiny little scratches deflect a tiny part of the laser that reads the disc. Most DVD players can adjust for this and progressive scan does the job by scanning ahead and fixing errors, when possible, before the playback gets to that point.
That isn't the case when you're copying the DVD. Regardless if you have broken the copyright encryption or if you're simply doing a data burn, the scratches are recorded as part of the media.
for example, you're burner will read the dvd bit by bit. The little scratches may be read as 0's instead of 1's and vice versa.
To solve that issue, just use a good CD or DVD fix-it kit. it fills the scratches with a clear polymer and the disc gets 'seen' right again. If none of the scratches go into the layer containing the information, you should be able to burn the DVD at the max available speed.
As far as your software goes, the others are right. Slow it down a bit. If you slow the process down, the program will be able to 'take it's time' when reading the data. This will make for a better resolution and smoother playback. It's done by going into the settings tab or the equivelant on your burn software and changing the read/rip speed as well as the burn speed. It might take a bit of time to find it, but you will.
The hardware can be an issue too. The newer the hardware, the more likely it will be able to handle the scratches and other imperfections. But if it does alright with other CD's and DVD's, The problem is not likely with your hardware.
Best of luck to you and I hope this helps.
