Question about Pioneer DVR-111D (DVR111DBK) DVD RW Dual Layer Burner

1 Answer

Dvd compatibility issues...

Hi, Im having a lot of problems with dvds i burn using pioneer dvd -111 drives. The dvds al play fine in my computer, and on my seperate £35 philips dvd player bought a year ago. However a lot of my clients that i produce the dvds for have problems with the dvds, where they skip, freeze, and generally dont play. It seems they also seem to deteriotate, in that they wil play for the first few times and then start to get worse to the point where you cant watch them. I am at a loss as what to do, they work for me when i send them out, so how can i make dvds that are good for everyone. I record the master at 4x speed, on to verbatim dvd-r discs, though my multi burner records at quicker speeds than this. Should i always record at 4x. should i be using dvd+r? is one format better than the other? Would very much appreciate any help anyone can give. Thanks Steve Jay

    Thanks for that mate, will download the firmware now. I also have been talking to people about the maximum bitrate used on my dvds, wheer some older dvd players might not be able to keep up with high bit rates.
    I have been told to try with encoding with a maximum bit rate of 6000, as this should be low enough for many players. Does this sound right?

You should try updating the firmware in the burner. http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Reviews/Specific.aspx?ArticleId=16989 http://wwwbsc.pioneer.co.jp/product-e/ibs/device_e/dev00001r_e.html scroll down a page or 2 and you will see the firmware upgrade for your model. Good Luck, Tim

    Steve: Yes, I was also going to type a whole bunch about the variety of DVD players/burners that your clients have some better, some worse. The firmware update info list seemed to address some of the problems you were having i.e. backward compatibility. Also, Try to make sure your clients are using DVD players(when available) and not another burner to read the disc...as burners are just that...They burn. They aren't made for reading they are made for writing. And like a jealous auther they won't read what others write.

how long is the whole process of burning the dual layer dvd's
your computers hard drive might be getting to hot
try blowing out all of the dust from your laptop computers keyboard using a fine air blower from an air compressor making VERY sure there is no MOISTURE in the lines.
dust causes static which causes lots of unforseen problems with a computer and its parts
also you might buy a laptop usb 3 fan cooler pad just to keep things cool/er
you might check the leads ((motherboard to hard drive)) they might be bad/faulty
hope this helps

DVD Burning
Well first of all, as far as have been informed, making backup copies of dvds is illegal. But im not here to critisize you. Your discs that you are copying the movie onto might not be big enough to hold the file. And your laser in your computer might not also be up to the challenge. There should not be any problems with any discs, but you may want to try using standard dvds, not rewritable dvds.

Hope this helps :)

1. Completely remove any dvd/cd player/burner softwares (i.e. Nero, Power DVD, etc.).
2. Go to device manager and remove your DVD/CD device from the device list
3. Restart you laptop
4. Windows will then try to reinstall the device drivers again for the DVD drive.
5. After another restart, then reinstall your dvd softwares again.

Hi,
you have a very sought after dvd player there.
people are paying a lot of money for these.
They Only support DVD- Disks. DVD-R/RW DVD-ROM. DVD- Video. If you are trying to Read Any DVD+ Formats, they,re not compatable with this Drive.
Hope this answers your problem.

Mike @ compurepair.

p.s recommend A Pioneer 111-112 Drive, reads most formats.

DVD R burnt by pioneer drive couldn't be read by itself.
If there were compatability issues with the disc it would have been unable to burn to the dvd initially, the problems you mention are a sign that the reading in the dvd is failing and there's never a solution for problems as these, as it means that a replacement is needed, as the dvd writer arent worth repairing. I had the same thing exactly, but after a while it wouldnt even acknowledge that i had a writable dvd in the drive, but was ok with cd's. I think it is down to poor quality lasers, so as to keep the dvd writer prices down.

Bitrate compatibility issues
have you been using constent bitrate or verable bitrate and which program are you using to encode your dvd's do a test dvd with 6000 and do another at differant rates I use Ulead Movie Factory to do my dvds and use vairable bitrate as the movies are in vairable and also the regioncode for your burner has to be set for good burns as I'm in uk my dvd burner is set to region 2 and I've had no problems with dvd buning and playing on other dvd player. hope this works out for you

Pioneer dvd rw dvr 111d isn't burning properly I have a Pioneer dvd rw dvr 111d that's not working right. I use roxio easy cd/dvd creator 6 for burning movies. It only burns them only about 1.2x-1.5x and suppose to burn up to 16x. I've been using roxio with this burner for a long time with no problem. A month or so I had a problem with the sound(soundcard) and couldn't fix it so ended up reinstalling Windows XP. That fit the sound problem. I installed Roxio and it work for a time or two. Then one time I tried disc copier in Roxio it said no supported recorder was found. If this keeps happening to reinstall Roxio. Which I have Several times and a few times it would come up with that message and would work properly. Then I would shut down cpu and I rstart it and use Roxio it would come up with the no supported recorder message. Also when I start itunes it pops up a message saying the registry setting used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cd and dvd are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other cd burning software. Please reinstall itunes. I install itunes right before I started having this problem, I think. I haven't tried to reinstall itunes yet because I hate to lose my data. Is there a way you can save the data and uninstall and reinstall itunes? Does anyone know if itunes has anything to do with my dvd burning problems? Thanks
