Help with skipping DVD's

[NewGooseFlying]

I am very new to backing up my dvd's, but when I go to backup things, everything seems to work great. When I go to view them, there is always an area or two that the dvd stutters/skips or gets pixelated.

I have a sony DRU-710A. I have been using Imation DVD -R media. I have left the default settings in both CloneDVD and AnyDVD.

Is this sort of thing normal? Is there anything you guys would recommend to help this situation out?

Thanks in advance for the help.

could be your dvd player(stand alone i assume your talkin about) imations arent the best...but theyre not that bad, shouldnt be the prob. u doing other work on the comp while burning?

I have used 3 different stand alone dvd players with similar results. I have some ritek ridata on the way. I have a p4 2.8 ghz /512 MB ram and not doing anything else on the computer while burning. I think the default speed on clonedvd is "Maxspeed" Should I be using something else? If anyone has recommendations of any sort, please let me know.

Hmm, consider updating your firmware. Also let us know how the Riteks work out for ya.

I have updated my firmware on the Sony DRU-710A. I placed the new Ritek Ridata 8X media in the drive. I used CloneDVD to write existing data at 4X. The CloneDVD sheep looks like it is writing in slow motion and it looks like it is going to take about twice as long as it used to. Is there any reason behing this?

Thanks

Get the program DVDDecrypter and put a blank disc in your drive. Set mode to read. Copy and paste all the info here so I can see what kind of dye your using.
