FiremanJoe Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I've burnt backup dvds of music. Recently I copied the music back onto a HD - some of the .mp3s are messed up. What was once a track from The Black Mages is now 117 minutes long and is partly Black Mages, partly Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Audiobook. Any idea why this is, and if there's a way to fix it?

No idea what it is, though I'm a little concerned because I burnt a bunch of dvd's with music on them - 11 to be exact. I hope my files are ok...

EdgeCrusher Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Are you trying to play them off of the dvdr, or copying them back to your HD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effef Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 How old are they? If they are cheap brand dvds and are more than a couple years old, you could be the victim of adhesive rot in your DVDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiremanJoe Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 This occurs once the data's been copied back to the HD. I've burnt almost 30 dvds now; only one or two have had the problem. I'm not sure if the 'adhesive rot' thing is it.. cos they're not that old, and there's no visible damage on the disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeCrusher Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Most of the time with the "rot" on discs they look pitted. I had a bunch of cd-rs do that over the last 5 years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiremanJoe Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hmm, well I can't see anything like that. At worst, there are some minor scratches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
