About 2 months ago I posted about the playback problems I was having; picture blocking and sound dropout upon standalone playback. Since that post I have notice quite a few other people are having similar problems, none of which have been solved.
I was hoping to start a thread where everybody who has experienced such problems can post their findings, media used, software used, burner, standalone units etc, so we can try to solve these problems.
I have owned a Pioneer DVR-105 for about 5 months and I have made about 60 backups. The first 25 - 30 backups were perfect regardless of which software I used or speed the disk was burnt at. But since then it is hit and miss whether my recent backups play fine or are full of glitches. Note: A friend, who has the same burner, and uses the same media type, plays backups for his children and he has a problem where he will play a disk one time and it will be fine, the next time he plays it, it is full of glitches.
Standalone Players: Pioneer 515, Pioneer 717, Yelo 800.
Media: Ritek G04, DataWrite Classic Gray 2X TDKG02, Verbatim 4X and TDK 4X.
Software: DVDDecrypter, DVDShrink, IMGTool, CCE, DVDMaestro.
Please do not post reply's like:
1) 'try different media', as stated above with these quality disks all my backups used to be perfect, and I have also tried alternative media for testing; Tako Yenden, Bulkpaq Orange etc, but the problem still persists.
2) 'try burning at slower speeds', I have tried all allowed writing speeds for the various disks, but the problem still persists..
3) 'try different firmware in your writer', I have tried all the available firmwares, I am now back to using the original firmware, but the problem still persists...
Please post only constructive reply's ;)
