Ripped DVD Pictures freeze

[Janset]

Hi all.

I have noticed that some movies that have been ripped play through without any problems where as others will play through part way and then just "Freeze" locking every thing up.

Sometimes it will suddenly restart again after a few seconds.

Other times it freezes momentarily but the sound continues on for a split second when the movie again restarts, missing a few frames so that when it restarts, both the sound and pictures are syc'd.

I do not know or remember if these were ripped with DVD Decrypt of DVD Shrink as some of these rips are on loan to me.

Can someone shed any light on the subject as to why or what causes this problem.

Just as a point, whenever I use either DVD Shrink or DVD Decrypt (only used a couple of times so far) I use the programs in the default mode.

OS Win XP Pro with SP2 installed on a Pen 4 PC. 512 MB RAM 1800 MHz Processor.

Regards :confused:

That's a violation of forum rule 6. You'd better fix that real fast before you get struck.

It's my opinion you should do as neuron2 suggested.

@Janset

Your description is too vague for a definite answer. Such problems could be caused by a number of things, including:

1) Low quality media

2) Faulty burn

3) Dirty player

4) Overheating

Being fairly new to this forum, I'd like to be certain to understand the interpretation of the rules.

Would you please explain why referring to borrowing media, without any reference to copying the borrowed media, is a violation of Rule 6?

Thanks ;>}

I'm fairly new too, but I understand and can explain:

This site and its helpful programs and forum are based on the "fair use" of digital media, which includes decrypting and making backup copies of titles you own for personal archiving purposes. In order to protect itself, it is founded on the rule that no assistance with material that has not met this rule will be given. Selling, loaning or giving away any form of backup from digital material does not constitute fair use, so obviously the recipient of this material is in violation of the DMCA.

Our Fair Use policy is outlined in the section of this link labelled Piracy and Copyright (www.doom9.org/disclaimer.htm).

The forum is global. This policy is stricter than regulatory requirements in some jurisdictions, and more lax than regulatory requirements in other jurisdictions. DMCA has nothing to do with it; the policy was in place well before DMCA became law in the US.

@jggimi

Thanks for the additional reference to the "Piracy and Copyright" policy information.

For final clarification please, are you of the opinion that the post here by "Janset" is, in fact, in violation of this policy and/or Rule 6, despite the fact that there is no mention made of copying any media - rather only asking what might cause playback problems of borrowed DVDs?

@setarip_old

We limit activities to ripping/copying for personal backup purposes. Copying to "loan" ripped files to your friends does not qualify in that regard.

You should "keep the focus" per forum rule 3. Discussion like this should go into an appropriate forum and thread, or be conducted by PM.

@neuron2

Thanks for both clarifications ;>}

Janset,

i believe that you have your answer.

in addition, regardless of forum rules, the idea of using or even watching a dvd processed by someone else, is, in my opinion, an exercise in futility, as you have no control over the process, and skipping/freezing can be the least of your problems.
