New desktop system with Windows 7 quality for DVDfab isn't good...

[AlienX69]

Watch out another barge coming down the river ......

1st do as MM said, play from the HDD so we can narreow down the issue, rule out the backup not being made correctly

The result would be:
1 - plays the same from the HDD (choppy/blurry), then probably on-board graphics ... update the driver and see if that helps ...

2 - if it plays fine then then compression, maybe, I've done some pretty heavy compressing in the ole days with shrink, never had choppy or blurry, bad resolution yes !

I didn't bother to read the logs, what media are we using, did he use ImgBurn to make backup

The answer to number 1 above will give us more to go on

Ok, I've read everyones input. My question still is, why am I having a problem now?

This is my old PC http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...ame=c00260857#

New PC: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...124965&lang=en

Don't you think it should be better since it is a newer computer lol. Now do the hard drives play that part as well or no?

I tried to play back one movie on my PS3 and my LED HD TV and it had the blur when someone moved and they didn't have to move fast either. I also tried Princess and the Frog DVD I copied from my combo pack, and the same thing. It had all lines in the charaters when they moved as well.

Also, DVDshrink doesn't allow me to reauthor a copy right DVD and pick out some bonus features. I used to do that on my old PC. I know this is DVDfab but what would cause that? Also Windows 7 isn't compatible with anything lol.

I am using PS3 and an LED HDTV and I've used other DVD's I've burned with DVDfab and DVDshrink, and it was fine. The PS3 made it look HD.

2 - if it plays fine then then compression, maybe, I've done some pretty heavy compressing in the ole days with shrink, never had choppy or blurry, bad resolution yes !
I think that what I'm talking about. The resolution is making it choppy looking when they move.

I didn't bother to read the logs, what media are we using, did he use ImgBurn to make backup

I am using CyberLink DVD Suite Deluxe that came with my system. Could that be the cause of all this? But I've also used the software that came with my other system and it work fine.

What other information do you guys need?

Have you tried installing ImgBurn and giving that a try for your burns? If not you can find it here along with a tutorial on how to set it up

[AlienX69]

HDD = Play the ripped movie from your Hard Drive on your new computer ... not your PS3 or your LED (LCD) HDTV ......

[maineman]

The same info previously requested.
We've been asking for burn logs since post #2 and explained that you've never posted the burn log

Exactly what application are you using? retail app, freeware?

Please rip a file to your hdd with Fab and Fab only.
Do not use anything else and do not compress the file.
(It sounds like you're using the freeware version of Fab anyway).

Does it playback from the hdd with VLC without problems?

Now compress it and tell me how much you're compressing...
Does it play back from the hdd with VLC without problems?

Are you able to compress it with Fab? (retail version) or did you have to use shrink?
Please include this info when posting back.

You never posted any burn logs.
We need that portion of the log where the actual burning occurred.
Please post a successful burn log, ie., "good disc"
and
an unsuccessful burn, ie., "poor quality disc"

[Mattcharles]

Sorry I haven’t replied in a while, I been really busy but I will answer what test I did today.
@ CBR929 – I honestly don’t think that is the problem. I did a test today and I used an old movie that I used DVDfab on my old computer and then I used DVDshrink to make it fit on a DVD on my new computer and then I used my burning software that came with my PC and it burned fine. I played it back on my PS3 and it looked just like my DVD. So it’s not the software, it has something to do with my new PC or even DVDfab settings (hopefully lol)
@AlienX69 – I did and it looks even WORSE! Also I do have a new flat screen monitor as well. Does that make a difference?
@ maineman - How do I get a burn log? I tried to get one but it didn't work, remember?

[maineman]

One more time.
Go back to post #21 answer the questions I've asked.
If you don't, that's your choice, but in that event I cannot help you.

Shrink does not burn, although Nero or Img may be accessed within shrink.
You either burned it with Nero or with Img...depending on the version.
Please post the burn log and again, please answer the questions.

[Mattcharles]

@maineman, so sorry, I completely skipped that by mistake lol.


Exactly what application are you using? retail app, freeware?
Do you mean burning software? I am using CyberLink DVD Suite Deluxe that came with my PC, but I honestly do not believe this is my problem.

Please rip a file to your hdd with Fab and Fab only.
Do not use anything else and do not compress the file.
(It sounds like you're using the freeware version of Fab anyway).
Yes, I am using the freeware Fab but I never had a problem with it on my other PC.

Does it playback from the hdd with VLC without problems?
Yes it does. My PC is the problem. When I use DVDfab on my old PC and then transfer it to my new one through my external hard drive, it works great! When I use DVDfab on my new PC, it doesn't look good AT ALL. It looks like it cuts out from the resolution and when something is moving fast or slow, I get a slit blurry delay.

Now compress it and tell me how much you're compressing...
Does it play back from the hdd with VLC without problems?
Looks even worse lol.

Are you able to compress it with Fab? (retail version) or did you have to use shrink?
Please include this info when posting back.
I use DVDshrink. I have been doing this for YEARS and never had a problem.

You never posted any burn logs.
We need that portion of the log where the actual burning occurred.
Please post a successful burn log, ie., "good disc"
and
an unsuccessful burn, ie., "poor quality disc"
Where can I get this again?

[CBR929]

Mattcharles
The default location is:
C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\DVDFab\Log.

Please just copy and paste the burn log(s) and post right here.

[maineman]

Yes, I guessed that you were using the freeware app since you're not burning with Fab,
but you wouldn't be the first to be using the retail app and still use 3rd party software,
but thanks for confirming

Forget your old pc..we know it works well with Fab
I don't see replies that are responsive to:

Please rip a file to your hdd with Fab and Fab only.
Do not use anything else and do not compress the file.
???
Does it playback from the hdd with VLC without problems?
On the one hand you said yes, then no and then were involved with your ext burner, older pc...

I want to know if the uncompressed file you just ripped on your new pc plays back and how it plays.

You say you burn with shrink.
Again, shrink does not burn. It must be integrated with 3rd party software in order to burn.
Typically, only nero or dvd decrypter can be utilized although one of the last versions of shrink will burn with Img.
These are your only choices.
You will have to find the location for the burn log depending on the application.
Just follow the default file path of the burn engine that was used

Where does this software...CyberLink DVD Suite Deluxe...come into play?

[Mattcharles]

Here are the logs.

dvdfab_burn_vso.log

dvdfab_internal.log

I never burned with DVDshrink... I have used DVDshrink to shrink a DVD, then I copied the folders that said audio and video over to "CyberLink DVD Suite Deluxe" and burned the files that way. I never used Nero or Imburn to burn any of my DVDs always the software that come with my PC.

ANY uncompressed file kinda plays back the same way it does on my monitor. How can I put this without confusing you lol, it plays back with a little more resolution then it would if i comressed it. I am thinking it could be the monitor giving me the problems?

I keep bring my old PC in this because if DVDshrink looks fine when I back up and burner something to a DVD without using DVDfab, why is it giving me a problem?

I hope I answered everything. =)

Well, I beg to ask the question "Why are you asking this question on this forum?"

I cannot understand what you want an answer to.

Asking what question?!?! That I want my picture to look good on my TV?

[GregiBoy]

Yes, but you are not using Fab for any manipulation of the source, so why ask here on a Fab forum?
