Totally Bizarre Problem....

[ron spencer]

About 1.5 wks ago I tries some Memorex 8x DVD-Rs;they would not burn on my LG4120b at 8x so I tried 4x...DVDs would not play on standalone or on PC..could not even copy the vobs, etc. off the burned DVD..tried this on a bunch of standalones and various computers.

Now get this...yesterday my brother-in-law brings in some clone laptop with DVD-ROM. So I tried to copy the files mentioned above off. No go, same errors reading them (CRC). So now I decided to try and play the movies I made on his laptop. Guess what, using his Interactual Player (software player by Intervideo) all the stuff played FLAWLESSLY!!!!! I installed PowerDVD on his laptop but it would not play either. What would cause the Interactual Player (Intervideo) allow you to play this supposedly corrupt burn and yet I cannot copy the files off the DVD-R? This means to me that the DVD-R is not all that bad....would like to get the stuff off of it but do not know why; could be a good learning opportunity here.

Any ideas? I tried his Interactual Player 4 times on his laptop....playback perfect; cannot copy files off though. Would like to get the files back if they are not "really" corrupt.


:rolleyes:

Were you using windows to do this or something like dvddecrypter?

Sounds like you've got some funky ifo's.

Did you try making an image(iso) of your discs?
.
Was the original content copied directly off disc, or was it decrypted first? Doesn't matter if the original wasn't protected.

I don't think your problem is the discs, but then again if your burner is old, going bad, or bad firmware there's no telling what headaches are abound.

thanks for the post;

Your question:

Were you using windows to do this or something like dvddecrypter?

-I tired just a straight Windows copy paste AND DVD Decryptor...both said error (I forget the DVD Decryptor error but Windows said CRC error)

I cannot make an image if the there is an issue with the DVD-R.

I burn with a LG4120b with latest firmware...so a new burner. It burns Verbatim fine at 8x. I would never have thought anything of it but I am interested as to why the Interacual player will play the stuff fine and yet I get CRC errors when trying to copy the stuff.

All it is are home movies...no decryption needed.

I would love to try and figure this out. Definately a media issues as the LG has problems with memorex 8x. Burns everything else ok.

Bizarre.

Acutally, I can copy some of the ifos ok, and some not at all. Soem vobs will copy and others will not..crc error....but plays fine ONLY on teh interactual player
