9. Why are my backups freezing, skipping, or showing a blocky pixellated mess during playback?

1. Update your burner's firmware (if available)

2. Use good quality media (Memorex, Ritek, Princo, Fuji, TDK from Costco, and Maxell that are not made in Japan are not good quality media). Are you using inferior blank media? If you're not using Taiyo Yuden Premium, Verbatim, Maxell Plus, or Maxell Broadcast Quality, then chances are the answer is yes.
If you use poor quality blank media, then you should expect problems.

3. Try lowering your burn speed a little (if you have a 16x burner and 16x rated media try writing to it at 12x or 8x instead of 16x)

4. If you're using +R, +RW, or +R DL media, change the booktype to "dvd-rom"
http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=476 (step 3)

5. Avoid sticker labels (they tend to cause problems)

6. Try setting a custom size of 4300 in whatever burning program you're using (but if you're using good media, you shouldn't have to) if you're using regular single layer dvd-5 (4.7GB) discs.

7. Download Nero cd-dvd speed. It's a free program. Select the tab labeled "scandisc". Insert the problematic backup disc, select the appropriate drive letter, and click "start". If Nero cd-dvd speed reports read errors, your backup is bad (which is the most likely case), your optical drive may be slowly dying, or your optical drive simply doesn't like the disc (or your choice of blank media)--even if the disc looks fine.

Bad burn quality is notorious around the end of discs (see step 6)
and also at layer breaks when using low quality DL media (use Verbatim +R DL media made in Singapore, and change the booktype to "dvd-rom")
 
I have read the article about freezing

my question is, why does the disc freeze, basically in the very same spot during playback? I mean, the movie is 95% or better completed. Its just right by the end. I have never had this problem before.
Thanks for any help you can give

Bad burn quality is notorious around the end of discs, especially when using low quality blank media (and when burning faster than you should).

Lowering the burn

I have a burner that burns at 20x. By lowering the burn, I am giving the backup less of a chance of freezing? Why? Can you please explain it to me, I don't understand. Its like, why produce a 20x if it can't be handled?
Thank You

The DVDRW "can" handle 20X burns but the media can't. When burning movies, you are forcing a great amount of data onto a small space. Cutting the burn speed assures that data will be transferred more accurately. PC capability and media quality can also effect your burn quality.
Rule of thumb...burn at 1/2 the rated speed of the media being used.

20X burning is new technology, no need for it. I would just use quality media like Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden and burn at 12X. Easy and reliable/;)
 
Well, when ever I a burn back up, I burn at 4x. I have a Memorex DVD +/- R/RW 16x Duel Layer burner and have found that with the DVD Up Converter at 12x sometimes a flick will skip. Taking the same flick and burning at 4x seems to work for me and as usual I am in no hurry. Quality comes before anything else. It might take about 20 minutes to burn at 4x, but it is well worth the time. Nice thing I like about this burner is that Staples had them on sale back in March of this year for 39 bucks a pop --- I bought 5 of them. I do the same with the discs, when there is a sale on a good brand, I'll buy upwards to 10 spindles. That way I know I will always have the basics covered. :)

Just my 2 cents.
