For some reason, my backup dvds are starting to get hung up mid movie (during play) what would cause this?

Would you please be so kind to give some more information, e.g. hardware, software, playing dvd in standalone or pc, is it only older dvds or only newer ones or every dvd, what media are you using, are you shrinking your backups to dvd5 or are they dl,etc.......

First guess is concerning your media, second guess (if you shrink) maybe a problem with the layer break removal.....but that is only guessed !!!!

Hardware is I/O Magic http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/I-O-M...oductDetail.do

Software - AnyDVD, DVD Shrink

Its hanging on stand alone players (RCA) as well as various computer dvd roms

Media, im using a cheep disc's (probly the problem then)

and im shrinking them with shrink to fit onto a regular DVD -R

First of all, try different media. Then try burning at lower speeds. You may also have a look at CloneDVD (though Shrink is rather good)......

I'd go with a media problem, but again, only a guess!



Edit: Monty beat me to it (and posted other helpful suggestions)!
