Thread: Help DVD burning issue with nero express

Hi Guys,

first post here!

I use Adobe Premier pro to produce mpg2 files which I then drag into Nero express 6 and burn onto DVD. I have some dvd+r which I use that are quite cheap.

My problem is that the DVD's work fine for about 3 or 4 playings then start to glitch sometimes, the audio drops out occasionally as well. Just not reliable viewing at all!

Any ideas why, should I invest in some expensive Verbatim type DVD+r's...would this help at all?????

Please help me.

Thankyou

It sounds like the quality of the blank media is an issue.

I would experiment with different brands. The website of your DVD burner will have a list of compatible brands.

1) Use good media. DVD+R is better than DVD-R. Better error correction and servo tracking signal. Taiyo Yuden has the best reputation, but is often counterfeited, so research the supplier. Use only a trustworthy retailer, not a bargain basement operation.

2) Burn at no more than half the maximum speed. If you have a x16 burner and x16 DVD+R media, set Nero's burn speed to x8 or less. The lower speed allows much better laser power control and much lower DVD rotational vibration, which helps your DVD player's electronics read the signal.
