|
|
I want to make copies of some of my DVD, as I use them a lot and I'd like to put the originals away and take them out whenever I scratch up or lose a copy when I travel (don't worry, this is all for personal use and doesn't violate any copyright stuff).
One disc of one show - The 4400 - copied just fine. This was on a single layer DVD. But most of my stuff is on dual-layer discs. So I got a stack of Verbatim Azo 8x DL discs and made a copy of one of my Babylon 5 DVD's.
I simply copied the DVD to my filesystem, opened k3b, started a new video DVD project, and copied the files to the correct dirs on the disk. The disk plays, but the quality is complete sh**. The menu is somewhat pixelated, and the show itself looks like the video went through a grinder.
Did I get the wrong kind of recordable DVD for this purpose?
And by the way, I can't simply rip the DVD. I need to keep the original fs intact in order to preserve closed-captions. _________________ decibel Linux: https://decibellinux.org

if those are high-quality verbatims I realize they aren't cheap but I'd suspect it first and burn another one. verbatim datalifeplus (specifically) seems to always rate at the top for quality although I don't know if they have dl in that line. e.g., they have lower-quality lines like "datalifevalue" or "valuelife" or something similarly-named to dlp I don't recall right now which I believe rate relatively poorly.
afaik not all verbatim azo discs are made by them so if you do 'dvd+rw-mediainfo device' and get "Media ID" you can check if maybe you need to get a better-quality disc: http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm
I also find videohelp.com useful when it comes to researching media. |
