Hey everyone!
OK, I'm coming here before I send what I think is a POS LiteOn 811s back for a replacement. Installed the drive Thursday, and so far I've made about 7 coasters with 0 successful burns. Tried 3 different movies with the same problems. Software I've used is DVD Shrink and Nero 6. Shrink the movie (wasn't necessary on one movie, I just did a backup) and burn using Nero. Using Memorex DVD+R. LiteOn burner has the latest firmware. XP Pro SP1. Movie will start playing fine....let's use Bad Boys II as our example. Plays fine (in 2 standalone players and DVD burner using PowerDVD) until it gets to a certain chapter. Then it sticks there for a few seconds, and then just starts jumping about 45 seconds, plays for a second, jumps 45 seconds...etc... Same results in all players. I have also tried the DVD+RW disc that came with the drive...same result. The drive doesn't make any weird noises or appear to have any other problems. Installation of the OS and all software was done using the burner and I had no problems doing that. I have not tried buring a CD with the unit. Do you guys have any suggestions on what to try? Does it sound like a bad burner?
Thanks!
Tom
