Ok I’m going to try to give you as much info as possible so please bear with me.
I’m ripping DVD’s with DVD Decrypter and then compressing them and burning them with DVD Shrink and the Nero plug-in.
Up until last week I was using Fuji brand DVD-R blank DVD’s. They would not play on my Toshiba DVD player at all but would play on my Playstation 2 just fine.
Last week I bought a pack of Memorex DVD-R’s and these are giving me problems. They play on my Playstation 2 and my Toshiba DVD player but they are extremely buggy. They could play for 5 minutes or 20 but at some point they start skipping, the picture starts exhibiting pixilation and will eventually start jumping all over the disk. If I stop the machine and begin playback again it will play for a while but over time I think the laser begins getting more and more off track.
So, my questions are these.
-
If I slow down the burn speed do you think I will get a better quality DVD with less playback problems?
-
Do you think I should just switch back to Fuji and not frustrate my self anymore with this?
-
I would much rather playback on my Toshiba since the colors are better and the sound is louder than playback on my Playstation, does anyone know of a blank DVD brand that works with the software I’m using and a Toshiba DVD player.
Thanks in advance and when I get home from work I’ll post the exact model number of my Toshiba.
