Well, I just burned another copy of the movie using Mitsubishi 4X media and I had the same result. But what I found out was strange. Before, when I would insert a movie and I used PowerDVD, it would play the movie w/o problems. The two movies burned at 4X using CMC and 8X using Mitsubishi media did the same thing. You could hear the audio and no picture. Today, I found that I accidently hit the scroll on the mouse while playing the movie (hearing only audio) using PowerDVD and on the top of the screen I saw that it displayed the speed. I guess it's the speed the movie is playing. I scrolled it to 1X and the picture came on no problems and you see the movie. However, I'm using DVDXCOPY PLAT and it normally gives you a screen at the start saying this a copy. All three times it did not give me this and it did not have the menus or previews. It just copied the actual movie.
Now I cannot play either DVD on my Toshiba DVD player (plays DVD-R). The first two copies were burned as +R and I burned a Third as DVD-ROM (I changed the booktype using the LiteOn Utility) and still would not play on my Toshiba DVD player. The player does not respond. All three play on the computer using PowerDVD, but I have to manually adjust the speed to 1X for it to be seen. I have no clue as to what is going on.
What I noticed while playing the original movie is that while displaying the FBI and other warnings the speed slider is in the middle and then when the previews begin it changes to 1X. Could it be that the movie is being copied with the speed at less than 1X?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
