Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - very brief pixelated image and a slight distortion of the audio

Hi all, as you can see I'm the new kid on the block. What brings me here is a problem with pixelated images on back up DVDs. I recently built my first computer and everything fired up and worked without any problems, that is until I went to watch a movie I had just backed up. Every now and then I get a very brief pixelated image and a slight distortion of the audio. I have changed the IDE cable, ran a DVD cleaner disc, re-downloaded DVDFab...twice, and I even used a Q-tip to clean the lens...very gently. I'm using a NEC 3550A, coincidentally the warranty ran out this weekend.

I'm out of ideas and am hoping that there is something I've over looked. Any thoughts would be gladly appreciated. Thanks, dc3
