I am runing windows XP with 1 GB of memory with a Pioneer DVD RW DVR-107D (1D:0HA:1) drive. I have an increasing problem burining DVD's. It 1st started that the DVD's would lock up & freeze while playing some times they would continue to freeze and start. Most of the DVD's ran for about 45 minutes and this would start about 1/2 or 3/4 way through the DVD and usually 3 or 4 months after it was made. Now it's happing on DVD's that I made only a couple weeks ago and always about 3/4 of the way through the DVD. I stop using the DVD's from Tiwan and have been using Soney DVD's made in Japan and it did not correct the problem.
The DVD's I make up are family pictures & Video that run about 45 minutes and they usually take 3 hours more or less to burn the 1st one. I have not noticed any problem in a short DVD. Is it possible that the DVD burner could burn ok for a short time and malfunction when it had to run contionusly for 3 or more hours. I have been using a program called MY DVD that I import the file's into in a AIV format to burn to DVD. I also have been setting up a lot of chapters one about every 3 or 4 minutes can that cause any problem DVD.
I appreciate any help I don't know if the problem is my DVD RW drive or the software I use to burn DVD or some thing stupid I am doning. I am sure of one thing it is contuning to get worse even with the better quality DVD's Thank You.
