Movies pausing at chapter changes

Hi, My friend is backing up a movie and removing some buttons etc. in DVD Remake Pro (2.6.4). It exports OK and then puts it through DVD Shrink. When it's burned to disk the movie pauses for about a second at every chapter change. Any ideas? EDIT: just seen this thread Thought the problem was fixed in 2.6.2? Thanks

sjw, your post is similar to this thread here: http://www.cdr-zone.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1879 Upgrade to newest version first and see. A pause sounds like a layer break, but Shrink should remove that flag if you have that option checked. Well, I could be wrong in your pause case.

Hi. The firmware is current. I've got a Pioneer 108 and an NEC 3520. The media is good quality. It's Ritek (proper Ritek disks, not rebranded) G04 and G05 and also Verbatim. The pauses are longer than layer breaks. The software, as far as I'm aware is proper.

I can confirm the SGG release is very crippled. Its not bad demo for what DRM can do usability wise but it does have a nasty habit of not exporting commands properly. Wink

Please try 2.6.6 and see if the issue still arises...

One posible cause of the skipping if it is near the end could be enhanced or modified firmware. At what speed and with which firmware did you record these DVDs?

Wow, many thanks for your replies. I'm not seeing him til Wed so won't be able to check but will send a mail and get him (hope he can!!) to get the update. Disks were burned at 8x. What's SSG? Again, thanks for your support. From what you're saying I assume I couldn't install his version on my PC anyway to test because it's tied to the PC. (besides the fact I assume the EULA wouldn't allow it.) Again, thanks for your support.

The 108 is not an accurate scanner for Disc Quality tests but it will give you a general idea of quality as used by MI5 Here. As far as I am aware the NEC 3520 does not support this feature until a new firmware is released although early test results show it is like the 108 - only to be used for a general idea. For Disc Quality scans you can't beat a Liteon DVD Writer such as the 1653 I use for the cdr-zone reviews or a Plextor writer which I am reliably informed ( i've seen the results ) is very close to Liteon scans. BenQs are not bad but they do tend to disagree with what the Liteon and Plextors report. Anyway time to get back on topic - we don't even now if it is a media issue for sure yet Smile

This is not a writer related problem and has nothing to do with firmware. If this prob only occurs when cells are switched, then it's because there's a layer break. You can check that with ifoedit. Although DVDShrink should remove layer breaks automatically, it's a known bug that this most of the time doesn't work, so you'll have to remove it manually with ifoedit.
