I have a Samsung DVD recorder that can record + - DVD and DVD RAM discs. I use decent quality discs, mostly Sony or Memorex and store them in black library style latching cases. I started to archive some of my favorite movies to HDD only to find they will not read all the way through on my LG-4167 DVD RAM drive in my computer. They also will not completely read on my Wife's computer, my laptop or my other DVD player hooked to my TV. Sometimes they will play for 20 minutes then freeze sometimes an hour. On the Samsung they will play with little or no error detected. The discs are COMPLETELY scratch free having been immediately put away after recording. At this point the only option I see is to buy another recorder and move the samsung to my Computer and dub them to my HDD then burn new copies for TV viewing. I think there is a tracking error of some sort in the Samsung that is causing other players not to read it's discs. Is there software out there that can dynamically sdjust for this error?
