Hi there
I'm looking for feedback from those who have had great success backing up used DVD-video discs.
My Pioneer 107D reads and rips fine but when I try to write I nearly always get CR Errors and the write process stops or the discs are coasters! Reviews I've read say it's a known shortfall with the 107D (and also the NEC 2500)- very fussy about Video disc surface quality. I have tried a variety of ripping and burning software and upgraded my firmware. No help unfortunately.
If you have no trouble with used DVD discs please let me know what DVD hardware you are ripping with. The hardware that the reviews suggest is Plextor 708A or Sony DRU-530A. Lite-On 812/832/Sony U18A get so so reviews when it comes to accurate reading of scratched DVD-video discs.
Cheers
