i was having bad stuttering problems on my backups, especially towards the end of movies. recently, i've been turning off my firewall and virus scan programs before i burn, as well as keeping the size of the file below 4gb.

so far, so good.

fyi, my process is dvdshrink (rip dvd and copy files to harddrive) imgtool (create dvd image) dvddecrypter (write image to disc). all freeware.

I use dvdshrink, then nero. You can get serial cracks for a certain version of nero (i forget which one) fairly easily, not that I would do that myself.
