Having troubles playing last 10ish minutes of dvd

[AGRforever]

Guys long time reader first time poster, you guys seem to have all the answers but this one is perplexing me

I seem to have no trouble getting the movies to rip/burn but when watching them on the dvd players the last couple minutes is very chopy...almost like the dvd is scratched or something (although it isnt)

Any ideas?

Probably poor media and/or burning to the edge.

Read and implement the Golden Rules of Burning.

ive been using verbatims since regular cd burners cost 400 bucks so i am reluctant to change. I have always burned at 1/2 what the recorder says and as far as i am aware my firmware is up to date. but i will double check. If i were to switch to new media where is a good place to purchase it? Preferably a store rather then the internet?

if they are real verbatims, thats good. can you post a burn log?

Verbatims are top notch...change your target size in DVD Shrink to 4400 and see if there is any improvement.

i have been using clone dvd to do my burning latley as nero seems to cause the problem to be worse. i will burn one with nero and post it

not to sound like an idiot, but the log that i have found says its from 2003 which is obviously not correct. The logs should be located in a note pad document by following your instructions on "how to post a log" correct?

Burn with ImgBurn. Stick to the Verbs for sure.

Check firmware and DMA.

What you find will be all of the logs of burns that you've made with Nero DVD's and CD's...all we need is the bottom log.

BTW, you don't have to burn with Nero...you can save your movie as a VIDEO_TS folder or ISO image on your HDD and burn with Imgburn.

Couple of things, just to eliminate as a potetial cause, Do you happen to put sticky labels on your DVDs? and Do you have a screen saver or power saver running while you are burning to disc?

[AGRforever]

no stickys, no screen saver....learned that back in audio cd school

ran a id check on the disks and they are mcc02rg20 which puts them in 1st tier catigory on that master list, although they are being out sourced to mitsugbisshi (which is a little dis-heartening)

the bottom log also says 2003 i will look further, i am also going to download the image burn and see if i like it

That isn't disheartening in the least....MCC are excellent discs, the 004's have had reports of a reduction in quality, but IMHO they are still very good discs.

Mitsubishi Chemicals make Verbatims. So they are not being outsourced as you are thinking,

[AGRforever]

ok not as bad as i thought

lets try image burn and see

Does all your DVDs have trouble in the last 10 minutes on all different DVD players? How about on the PC?
