Burned DVD's not working properly

[amaunator]

I have a Toshiba DVD player and I'm burning a DVD using Memorex DVD-R. The DVD will play for about three to five minutes and then it starts sputtering until it finally just freezes up. Is this a signal of a bad DVD player or just bad DVD media?

Do you have other blank media you can try? Your toshiba just might not play nice with memorex.

Try burning at lower speeds (2x-4x). If still having problems try different media.

Now a days so many problems related to this is occuring. As per my view first check the dvd in different dvd player if posible then onlyu can get the idea about the dvd player . And if dvd is not working properly then there will be the problrm o dvd. ANd still not then u can check the dvd player.

Like others said, burn slower. Also, in my experience, memorex just blows. Every time I have an issue with media its always memorex.

I had some Fugifilm DVD-R's and they work fine when burned.

Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, memorex really sucks for me. Dozens of different burners and systems and memorex has always been more miss than hit.

The problem with some brand of media is you might not always get the same media. They use different manufacturers and can change without notice.
If you install the program imgburn it tells you who actually made the media. It is a small program , free and doesn't install any junk.

Put in the dvd, click discovery and scroll down , section will read like:

Physical Format Information (ADIP):
Disc ID: CMC MAG-M01-00
Book Type: DVD+R
Part Version: 1
Disc Size: 120mm


That was a HP lightscribe media.
If I go here:

I can see it is being used in a lot of brands


For me I only buy Sony Accucore media if I buy it in the store as the actual media is usually Taiyo Yuden, who make good media.

I've heard this also, but why would this work? Does it burn bigger holes in the DVD or something?

Slower speeds mean less vibration, more accurate track geometry.
