Im using DVD-R to download movie files onto. Whilst the quality of the movie itself is fine,sometimes the movie pixilates ( I think thats the right term) or it jumps, and so on. My Sonic burning device always says the movies to large & I dont know how to overcome this,so I use DVD Shrink & burn them with that. Could this be my problem,or could it be Im using really cheap Discs & I mean cheap.

Some people swear the DVD-R quality is the problem, but in my experience, it doesn't matter! I have used the most expensive to the cheapest and they work the same for me! I have never had a problem with cheap DVD-RS. In fact that is what I use now and the picture quality is perfect and they DO NOT deteriorate! Buying expensive DVD-RS to me is somewhat a waste of money! You could try it! Go get some expensive discs and I assure you your problem will not be fixed! Expensive isn't always better! As a construction worker for years , my Craftsman power tools have out lived my Dewalt power tools! That's just what happens when you download movies from the Internet! If you want perfect picture, try to get into Back Ups! I have used DVD Shrink for a long time and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it ! Lower your burn speed and it should be OK!

Movie pixelation is normal, I once rented Bad Boy 2, an opening scene of it pixelated, and that's true authentic disc from studio; but jumping is the disc problem, a blank media has a safe pristine time span of less than a year; recorded life time of several years, deteriorate and require better drives for reading as time goes on, despite what manufacturer say.
Really cheap blanks were not problem, you sometimes get lucky hit good quality batch at dirt cheap price.

Several factors can cause this:
Shrinking the original source too much
Burning at too fast a speed (burn at 1/2 the max speed of the disc)
Disc Quality (Use good media...Taiyo Yudans and Verbatim seem to be the best)

I use to have the same problem. Solved it by burning at a slower speed!
