Pioneer Standalone

[Vortexvan]

Hi together,

Since i´m new to DVD Ripping i have some question
concerning DVD Burning. As i used the guides i run
in a few Problems with my burned DVD`s firs of all
my Thomson DTH 4500 seems to have massiv Problems
to Play the Disks (i think Doom mentioned that somewhere)
2 of the disks where burned by Nero (latest Version)
and 2 other i burned with DVD Decryptor after making
an image out of the files.

I tried the four disk in a Cyberhome Player and they all
play fine... i got also a Pioneer DVD DV 350 S and in this
player only two disks play ok.

Does somebody have the same Problems??
What is the difference between writing with nero
and writing with Decryptor??

Best regards

Vor

Yes. this is good question and nobody has really the answer.
There are differences between combination of burningTools/Burner/standaloneplayer/Media..

but it's quite diffiult to explain why, at least concerning dvd burning tools.

We can first say that it's quite a new technology and that software provider are allowed to have some bugs/errors in their soft as it's really new.

Second we can have better support for a burning tool concerning one burner because the soft is sold bundled with ...

Third, clearly, Nero seems to be one of the more reliable (according various posts from many different people) with the nero 5.5.8.2 and since the nero 5.5.9.2 (depends , but at least 5.5.9.14 seems OK)

Also you have Gear DVD Pro that I personnaly like, even it seems I am the only one to find it working nicely.

And my favorite, best of the best, DVD Decrypter.
As you will see soon, IfoEdit will do more, and along with DVD decrypter and ImgTools you will get a perfect solution with freeware to copy 1:1 DVD.
Last remaining point is encoder, CCE is the best for me but definitively not a free one. ReMpeg2 is free, but not the best.


Concerning DVD compatibility, best is to do a search on this forum and to have a lok on vcdhelp which has a good list.


Anyway, anyone with these players is welcome to answered here also !
