Problems with anydvd and clone DVD

[Dgafchick]

I've been using both clone DVD and anydvd for 2 years now and it worked fine but now for at least the past couples months every DVD I try to burn will burn but it skips does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

It is not an AnyDVD issue in any event and only indirectly does it have to do with CloneDVD

This is always an environmental issue.

1. Your burner has taken a dislike to the blanks you are using,
2. Its efficiency has degraded
3. you burned at too high a speed for 1 and/or 2
4. In some rare occasions an anti-virus product may interfere

If this is with CloneDVD, try setting the "preferred speed" on the output
method panel to 4x. That usually will work.

Thanks I'll try to change the speed cause I bought a new burner and it does the same thing and I always use the same disks so I'll try changing the speed thanks again

[Adbear]

And what brand of discs are they?

[Dgafchick]

Theyre memorex DVD+r

I tried slowing down the speed and it helped a little but it still does it....

No wonder you are having problems. Memorex was never a quality brand, and lately they have been producing real junky blanks. Both single and dual layer blanks.

Verbatim DatalifePlus or Taiyo Yuden/JVC are the brand blanks to go for, especially if they are manufactured in Singapore. Yes, they are more expensive, but when you are repeatedly creating coasters with a cheaper brand the wasted money adds up.

I used to think Memorex was ok until I went through 3 50-disc cake boxes of dual layer blanks, purchased over several months from 3 different outlets, that not a single disc burned successfully. The Q/A problems with Memorex is not an isolated, one-time problem. I began having problems with increasing number of bad discs well over a year ago, so it definitely is not a fluke with their quality control being bad.

That's weird about the disks I've used them lots of times before and I thought this problem was because my burner was going out or something so I bought a new burner it's doing the same thing as the other it's also memorex brand do you think since the disks from memorex are bad the burner is too?

Try burning a quality blank or two before you say your burner is at fault. Burning cruddy Memorex blanks in a new drive will probably not solve your burn problems.

I used Memorex blanks, dual and single layer, for years and had few problems until a few months after after the 2011 Japan earthquake. From then on had increasing problems on 4 different computer, 6 different burners. When 150 dual layer blanks back to back coasterized that was it for Memorex. Cheap became real expensive when so many blanks failed.

Was the major downswing in quality control with Memorex directly related to the earthquake? Don't know, don't care. All that matters to me was multiple cake boxes of defective blanks.

Ok thanks I will try that and hopefully it works if not I'll be back again asking for help
