So, like others, I use both anydvd and clonedvd and have updated to the latest version. My desktop has 2 separate NEC ND-3550A 1.05 drives. I too have not had a problem in the past running this software on my computer and never receive error messages.

I just ran Nero CD-DVD Speed 4.6 and am not sure what I need to share in my post. So, please tell me if you need additional info:
Avg speed = 11.97 Start = 6.69 End = 16.05 P-CAV
(almost identical results on both drives)
Disc Info: TYG03 (This is the same that I have always used).

The problem is that after the first 20-30 minutes, the copied movie pauses, skips, etc....

What else can I do to diagnose this problem?

What other information do you need?

WinXP, 2.20 CPU, Pentium, 1 GB Ram.....

Again, I am fairly confident the DVD disc are not the problem.

Welcome your input....

To avoid any confusion visit SlySoft (http://www.slysoft.com) and download the latest current up to date versions of AnyDVD/ CloneDVD. Stating that you are using the so-called “Latest Versions” does not fully describe exactly what versions of AnyDVD/CloneDVD that you are actually using.

Generally Skipping/Pausing playback viewing problems are caused by the use of poor quality blank DVD Media, old outdated DVD Firmware and/or a combination of both.

Suggest viewing the below Web Link for detailed information concerning quality blank DVD Media. For quality error free results only use 1st Class Media.

Your version NEC ND-3550A v1.05 Firmware is old and outdated. Suggest visiting http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/3550/ and acquire the up to date current NEC ND-3550A v1.06 Firmware. If your are unaware of how to install NEC DVD Firmware review the “How To Flash” information contained in the above referenced Web Link.

Okay, so I upgraded the firmware to 1.06 which is the latest.

In addition, I verified that I am using the best 1st class media available.

Is there anything else that I can do other than shutting down all programs running in the background?

What are exactly these media? Can you post mediacode?

Moreover, at what speed did you burn these media?

The media is TYG03, Taiyo Yuden.

I have been burning them at 16x

Try to burn @12x; usually this solve.
