I'm seeing a trend of pixelation near the end of movie copies. Most of the movie plays well until the last 10%, then periods of pixelation occur regularly, and maybe 50% of the last minutes are broken up. I'm curious what is different about the end of clone job and why errors are not evenly distributed. I'm assuming it is issues with the transcoding.
I'm using the latest versions AnyDVD and Clone DVD. Reading the master from one Pioneer drive and burning on a Pioneer 212D, with lastest Pioneer firmware. I'm currently using Verbatim DVD-R 8x media (DVD-5). I'm using all CloneDVD defaults, burning at Maximum speed. CloneDVD always tells me that the copy completed with no errors.
I read a previous posting which advised to set the size to 4300 and reduce the burn speed. I haven't tried that. I also saw a comment not to use DVD-R media, just +R. I'm trying to understand why these things make a difference, and how to improve my copies.
