Film Length

[katz49]

I find that if a film is over a certain length problems with break up occur, audio hiccup, hesitation and pixels flashing on screen.

Up to about 1 hour 50min, seems OK after that it hit or miss, after 2 hours it freezes on a broken picture.

Last 3,
1.58 mins odd pixels showing couple of sound hesitations, but finished to end,
2.06 mins freezes with broken picture,
1.35 mins no problem.

Using DVD Shrink, Datawrite 8X Gold classic GO4, LiteOn 812s.

"Back up" direct to recorder.

Any one any ideas why, and how to stop it.

Datawrite 8X Gold classic GO4

are NOT Grade "A" RiteK G04 so

(a) try grade "A" Media

(b) Compress with something else (I have done 2 hours Plus with DVD2One not a glitch)

(c) Dont burn right to the end of the DVDR burn 4.3 GB not 4.37

Ritek GO4 disks are 4x rated, not 8x. And Datawrite tends to be B or C grade Riteks as well, so no wonder your having problems.

[ChickenMan]

They are a lot better than the Datawrite, go for 'em.

 

[katz49]

That is the read out on the Datawrite, thats whats puzzling.

in this case YOU have prodisk dye media if you get yourself some datawrite yellows V2 you will prolly find that they are G05 ritek dye type as follows

i use these as they are reliable for me for my purposes and burn at ALL speeds in my 107 PIONEER

IF you must use cheaper media than REAL RITEKS then i recommend go for these DATAWRITE yellow V2's as fairly good media

WHERE EVER possible GO for the genuine RITEKS if available
