[QUOTE=Colin;79310]From my post you'd be aware the same problem has been reported by multiple people (sep 2010 is one thread I read) and there's nothing to suggest the problem lies with anything but the software doing the ripping, as the burning software (ImgBurn) doesn't even come into it because the problem exists in the rip on the PC. It was suggested it only happens when trying to compress onto a 25gb disc, however I am reporting that is not the case as the last 2 HP movies I tried fit on a disc with no compression.
The reason I didn't see the necessity to post the logs in the 1st place, is that most of the time, looking at the log, you'd be searching for an obvious problem like write speed, or the blank disc size or drive being used etc, none of those factors would be an issue in this case. If anyone could see anything in a log to suggest the cause for a couple of pixelated frames and a few seconds of video freeze time, I'd be impressed, however I will post them tonight to satisfy curiosity.
I've reported problems with other Blurays in the past and magically a short time later a new version of DVDFab is released which solves the problem, however support don't like to advise you of this or thankyou for reporting a problem that costs you multiple blanks to rule out everything else.
As I asked before, I'd be interested if anyone has a later release of DVDFab than Jan 2011 and has ripped the 'main movie' only, successfully of HP 2, 3, 4 or 5 and if so, then a DVDFab upgrade may solve the issue. I didn't want to upgrade (if indeed there is one), try again and still see the same problem which basically repeats what I have done with my version over the people back in 2010 which reported the same problems.
For the record, my equipment is:
i5 system, 4gb ram, 500gb hdd, Windows 7
Panasonic UJ-230 bluray burner connected via USB
Panasonic DMP-BD65 standalone bluray player
DVDFab version from mid-January 2011
ImgBurn release updated to latest
Burn speed at 2x
Blank Media TDK BD-R 25gb and JVC BD-R 25gb (media not issue as PC rip shows same problem)
Settings within DVDFab are as follows:
Bluray read - I/O mode - Auto, File Reading Mode - Internal,
Bluray Write - Burning Engine - Imgburn, Bluray write speed 2x, Writeable Media Size BD-25 - 23700, BD-50 - 43700.
Bluray Copy - Enable Full Scan, AVCHD - Create Restrict Compatible, Encoding Settings - Slow Speed/High Quality.
I'll post the logs tonight, cheers.[/QUOTE]
Have you tried the latest beta? Also try setting your codecs all to software, you say you can burn the movie to the HDD and watch it and you can see the freezing problem? Your burner is hooked up through the USB not the most optimum way as all sorts of things can be going on there but thats reaching! I looked at some of the other posts and people have said the upgrade way back when fixed the freezing! People have posted having freezing issues with JackXXX 3D yet I did not have none! This software is never gonna be perfect but it does a great job, and I usually don't mind getting a movie to try and replicate the error but I could not bring myself to watch HP! You don't have to install the beta over your original install you can put it in another folder and make another desk top icon just to see if its any better.
