I've got "Datastream Professional DVD+R (4.7GB) 4X" Media, and "Datastream Professional DVD+RW (4.7GB) 2.4X" Media.
The problem is with 'DVD+R 4X' Media when i burn my movie with that media, it plays back in my (Pioneer DV-266) DVD Player with errors n pixels appearing very regularly over the video and freezes all over the movie and jitters and some features of my dvd movie do not play back at all, instead reboots my dvd player.
With 'Datastream DVD+RW 2.4X' Media i use the same process of burning and configurations for the dvd and it plays back flawlessly with no errors or freezes whatsoever.
The problem seems to occur more often towards the end of the video, therefore could it be a speed burning issue or something?... as its more problematic as it gets closer to the end of the video where its reading towards outer tracks of the DVD Media. I've tried burning it again and still same problem, also tried burning other movies, so its not the movie itself as they do work on the other media fine. The 'Datastream DVD+R 4X' Media doesn't give the option in Nero to burn at 4X instead only 2.4X, My DVD Burner is a 4X Burner as I have burnt at this speed with other media brands.
- i use these settings in nero for my dvd-
1. DVD-ROM (UDF/ISO)
2. No Multisession
3. ISO Level 1
4. ISO 9660
5. Allow path depth of more than 8 dir
6. Allow more than 255 char in path
7. Allow more than 64 characters for joliet names
8. Force DVD-Video compatibility mode
- also tried burning without 5,6 disabled but still same problems.
Also with the 'Datastream Professional DVD+R 4X' Media you can get 2 types of the exact DVD+R's in spindles, 1 type is the non glossy, printable white surface media, and the other is the same but in your normal shiny surface with DATASTREAM Professional Logo and details and contents on it etc.
The Media that doesn't have any logo or any text or graphics printed on it (the non glossy printable types) playback flawlessly when ive used them to burn before, but it seems now these ones with text and logo are the ones i'm having playback problems.
I don't understand this as they are the exact same DVD+R's apart from choosing to buy them with or without the printable white surface.
I also tried the DVD in my XBOX and it plays fine there....., but still i don't see why it won't play in my Pioneer DVD Player, when the same brand and type has played perfect before.
I'm really confused as why this is the case and any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thankyou!
My system config - 1800+ cpu, 256mb ram, 64mb gfx
- Windows XP Professional SP1
- Nero Burning Rom v6.0.0.11
