I just got a Sony RDRHXD770 hdd recorder but draw opens halfway through films?

Question

the discs are dvd+r and i have films on bout ten, 3 of them play ok but others get halfway through and machine stops and draw opens, what is this?

Answer 1

This is an educated guess...

Most DVDs are dual layer so when you get about halfway through the file there is a slight pause while the laser returns to the start of the disc and begins reading the second layer.

Therefore, my guess would be that either there is an issue with your machine reading the 2nd layer or that there's a problem with your recordings (again with the second layer).

Get an original disc and try that. If it kicks out halfway through, then it's a machine fault.

Hope that helps.
