What's wrong with my DVD burner?
Link

Time
I just bought a DVD burner, and am having trouble with it.

I tried copying an already existing physical DVD that I had, and it worked perfectly.

But whenever I try to burn a DVD I've download from torrents, the DVDr will not play in any sort of DVD player.
It says it burned it successfully, but the DVD is shot. Nothing will read the disc.

Does anybody know what the trouble is?

"Bitching and complaining" is the last thing I'd use to describe these boards.

That's far from the truth. Take a gander into the "OT Preservation" thread.
Since LFL won't help us, we're taking upon ourselves to preserve the O-OT as best we can. Lot's of people are putting in a LOT of hard work, as well as money.
Even those who don't have groundbreaking DVD technology have done other things such as distributing these discs to those who want them, and even designing many DVD covers for these rips.
I, myself have made quite a few DVD covers and I am only equipped with Microsoft Paint.

Granted, there a few unconstructive citizens of OT.com that just troll around posting negatory remarks. (such as yourself, perhaps)

You can think of us how you wish, but don't let it be because we're "whiners".

The Gungans and Neimondians have been dubbed and subtitled.

It seems that their new dialect consists of a garbled, forward and backwards, mesh of the Spanish audio.
And don't get me wrong, I think it works fine.

BUT
I think it might be better to use this method for one alien species, and to find another way to make a different-sounding language for the other species.

Now don't stone me yet, just listen.

I don't know how many of you have seen the "Phantom Re-Edit" that MagnoliaFan himself has restored to somewhat DVD quality.
But the way they seem to have done it is to 'mask' the English audio and modify the pitch and things to make it inaudible.

Now here's just my *humble* idea for possibly the MagnoliaFan 2.0 versions of whatever may happen....
I think the Neiomodians (I know It's spelled wrong) should keep their dialect as is. (By that I mean the garbled Spanish)
And I think, to better distinguish the languages, have Jar Jar and the Gungans speak a language similar to the one in the 'Phantom Re-Edit'. (But perhaps using Spanish as the base, rather than English)

Because the way it is now, it seems like every alien speaks the same language. It'd make BOTF (and TCW) seem more like a professionally made film. That's just what I think.

You do realize, Cowclops, that the set at starwarslegacy.com will never see the light of day since he is making it solely for himself right?

I would officially shit my pants if I were to learn that a skilled video editor was working on a similar "edit" that would make it's way into distribution. If the reason you decided against it was that it was already being done, I still say go for it. Somebody make one that we can all have.

Thanks for the tip, that's probably what the trouble is.

I'm using Windows XP, by the way.
Thanks for the offer, I'll see if I can't get it to download though.

Can anybody else comment on the quality? Is it about the same as the other MagnoliaFan stuff?
And is this a digital re-working of the phantom edit that's been on myspleen for a while, or a different one?

Thanks.
