Fast Forward on copied DVD's not working Correctly

Budson 2009-02-04 08:22:59 UTC #1

I cannot Fast Forward on DVD's that I have copied. I have tried this on multiple players, multiple write speeds, and multiple writers (my computer has an internal and external). The DVD's play at normal speeds correctly and next chapter works OK. If I copy the same source DVD over it behaves exactly the same. Also, sometimes at the beginning of DVD's prior to reaching the main DVD menu the player hangs up. For those DVD's I have to select the DVD top menu immediately once the DVD is read and use chapter selector and select the first chapter to play the DVD. If I just hit play it hangs up.

I am using the 2...7 version (most recent) of Pro and it is behaving the same as 2....6. I am using the machine.dll on a Vista (ugh!!!) operating system.

Thanks in advance.

Can you please tell us the movies you are having the hang issue and menu problems on. Also the type of blank media you are using and the burn speed too. As for the Fast Forward and Fast Reverse all I can say about that is to submit a support ticket as some DVD players it works and others it does not

Which Movies? Just about all of them but the most recent I have tried were “Day the Earth Stood Still” (Original 1951 version) and Casino Royale (Peter Seller version).

Media- Have tried several but most recently were Verbatim and Sony (DVD+R’s). If media is an issue, what is the best to use?

Players- I have tried it on several and the same results.

I really don’t understand why these should be an issue, isn’t it a copy of the original DVD? (sorry, I am new to this). If the player is an issues it really defeats the purpose of this program, doesn’t it? I guess I missed the disclaimer when I bought the SW that says “Caution, might not work on many DVD players, here is the list it does work on”

Could the quality setting be a factor? (I left it on normal) The documentation for this product is really weak and does not explain what it does. Guess its a try it and find out type of option.

for the hang and menu issue try lowering the burn speed and for the other issue submit a support ticket like mentioned already. Also since you using DVD+R media are you booktyping to DVD-ROM as some DVD players cannot play DVD+R.
Here’s a link from their website about DVD player compatibility

You can also try varying your burn speeds in pro. Maybe try a slower burn speed it might eliminate any skipping. I use ultimate now and I never have any FF or RW issues.
