Problem with medias after about 1 hour movie

[xboxnoob]

I use my pioneer 106 to produce movies on for different firms or private persons

Until now - i have used Ritek medias - and never had any problems.

2 days ago i got a bundle of branded dvd-r 4xspeed of "4COS" medias.
the add said it was tested with pioneer 106 firmware 107 (like mine)
but what ever speed - what ever production i make - it starts to chop in the movie about after 1 hour of movie.
I tried alot of different programs - known and unknown - the same result everytime..

Anybody got any suggestions ?

This is a typical symptom of bad media. The answer is to use good media. The latter part of the movie is recorded on the outer edge of a dvdr. This portion of the media a) spins faster (making writing more tenuous), and b) gets less dye during the manufacturing process (particularly in cheap media).

Use these up for short movies/data, and buy some reliable media.

I would go back to ritek media and if that works I would return your other media. But I would do it fast because if it is bad media that wouldn't be around long with their warranty. But I would get my money back!!!

But 4COS does not give half-hearted attempts at providing the best in every possible way, that is why 4COS supplies with their wide range of optical discs available, an exceptional lifetime warranty, that should there be any defects on the material or workmanship of the optical disc in the purchasers lifetime, an immediate exchange can be done at the nearest authorized dealer.



Since the 4COS optical disc is manufactured in Taiwan, one of the world leaders when it comes to high quality optical discs, it is fact that being a world leader the need to maintain a product that perseveres with the high standards and an even better quality is of great importance. So when deciding on this optical disc guarantee, 4COS analysed the market to see how the best service in supplying this guarantee could be given as well as maintaining the extremely high standards. Thereafter the entire 4COS optical disc range went through the various testing facilities available for the optical discs as well as some testing methods which were not so conventional, to ensure that the product being placed on the shelf meets, not only their expectations and standards which has been upheld overseas for decades, but also for the consumer who is purchasing the product as well.
