Hello folks!

Thanks for the immediate replies!! Can anybody briefly explain what exactly is "DMA" mode? And how can I find out whether my burner is compatible or not? Also, I haven't quite understood what's the difference between SAO-Packet writing!!

Stormjumper, I do disable all other dvd-related programs when using DVDFab!

I've noticed that only new titles (e.g Prison Break, Saw III) freeze midway, whereas older ones play flawlessly!! Might this be an indication of any super-duper hi-tech copy protection?

I'm currently using EMtec media, does it sound familiar? It may not be sold in your country, that's why i'm asking I'm from western europe. I'll surely go for Verbatim next time!!

Since all titles play flawlessly when played from my Hard Disk, do you think that -ultimately- it's a fault during the burn process?

Many Thanks!!!!
