Ok, just wondering if anyone has had this problem or knows how to fix it.
when ever i burn video onto a DVD it works great, couldn't be better, but say you watch the DVD in 3 weeks time the last 5min or so of the movie starts playing up "stopping starting ect" then in another week say the last 10min doesn't work then another week the last 15min doesn't work and so on.
as if the disc starts to break down after a while from the outside in, i burn on TDK disc but it does it on any disc and it plays up in every DVD player, anoyone know whats causing it?

fwiw: we (other nerds at work) have noticed that the cheap media plays well on very cheap DVD players - the more expensive the player, the less likely it is to play the cheapo-n-nasty media you get from scratchfield audio or similar...
go figure...

i thought it was pretty obvious... anyway, this is what we found...
Burner = internal Pioneer A107 ($140 from Umart)
Software = Toast v6 (titanium) - most popular burning software on Macintosh
Workstation = G4 running v10.3 OS X
Media #1 = Strathfield Audio DVD writables (under 99c)
plays on all cheap (e.g. non sony) domestic DVD players without error. Sony DVD player started ot have errors after first use. Continues to play on cheapest DVD player
Media #2 - Verbatim
plays on all cheap domestic DVD players without error. Reports same kinds of errors (from scratches) on all players - but only after many months of (ab)use.
conclusions:
- quality of media is key so you get what you pay for
- the cheapest burner and player dont care what media they are fed.
- mutliple burn sessions are recipe for drink coasters - dont bother unless you want to waste all your DVDR media

You should be able to go to any computer fair and get that sort of price.
If you can't, then bargain them down until you do.

This makes sense considering that the cheaper media (e.g. Princo, Ritek etc.) isn't licensed media and often doesn't conform to the philips standard.
The more expensive players would have been calibrated for media which is within philips specs and as such will probably read in spec media better than any other players but will have a hard time reading out of spec discs.
The X-Box to me is one of the most finely calibrated players on the market and is my benchmark of disc quality... basically put if it plays on my xbox with philips drive then it's a good disc... if it doesn't then it is either an average or below average disc.
FYI the only discs that play in my xbox that I've found are Fortis 4x DVD+/-R's, Fortis 2x +/-R's, Verbatim 4x DVD+R's and TDK 4x DVD+R's.
Princo, Ritek, Laser and heaps of other no brand discs refuse to play in the xbox.
