Hi

I have always been able to copy ifo. and vob files to Ritek Printable G4 discs.
I updated my operating system from XP home to Professional. and I bought a new dvd writer NEC DVDRW ND-3500AG.

When I copied to a Un-printable Ritek G5 disc it played beautifully.
When I copied the same files to a printable Ritek G4 disc, on playback and approx 70% into playtime it started to freeze then carry on and freeze again -so basically I ended up with a coaster!

I then tried Datawrite Classic General Purpose DVD-R Discs but the same problem occured.
I am using the latest Nero 6. with full upgrades.

I even tried the much acclaimed DVD Juggler Professional version. and the same thing happened.

I am now very confused in understanding why it will play successfully on un-printable discs and not on printables?

Has anyone experienced this problem and is there any solutions please?

In otherwords HELP!!!

I use Ritek labelled G04 (and G05) media on my NEC 3500 and never without a problem as I use the genuine Ritek labelled media (they have purple tops). The printed G04's you have, are they labelled Ritek or some other brand ? If another brand name, then I'd suggest you have B or C grade G04's though probably still made by Ritek. Even the best DVDR makers make B & C grade stuff. They then flog it off to merchants and printed with just about any name. The Datawrite failled because its also crap media, what else whould you expect?

Hi

I used Ritek brands the DVDinfo confirmed the printables were G4 dye.

I was advised by someone else to try the high quality TY discs which cost 90pence each.

However, I tried PIODATA printables G5, and , surpise surprise - they worked!

Can't understand why my old G4's worked with my previous burner and not with the new one NEC 3500

Thanks for your input
Cheers
