From there, choose the ‘Disc’ tab and select your DVD drive. One possible explanation is that VLC reads non-copy-protected DVDs at max speed, and apparently my drive doesn't read burned discs so well at max speed - although it reads them OK at half speed. To get started ripping a DVD, click on ‘Media’ and then ‘Convert/Save’. On the other hand, you could use VLC with the 300 ms cache to test your burnt media: If the outer-edge area plays fine with finicky VLC, then it must be a pretty decent burn, because discs that skip very badly with VLC will still play fine on a DVD player. The default 300 ms apparently allows for little or no error correction. (Consider that the drive has to slow down when it gets to the error-prone outer area of the disc.) So if you notice skipping glitches near the outer edge of your burnt DVDs when playing them with VLC, you might try changing the cache value. I recently discovered that increasing VLC's DVD playback cache from 300 ms to 8x300 ms = 2400 ms seems to resolve this skipping problem for me, perhaps because it allows more time for adequate error correction. And the skipping would be a whole lot worse with lower-quality media, even though the discs still played fine in DVD players and could be ripped to hard disk without problems, presumably because of error correction. Step 3: Click the ‘Repair’ button to begin the repair process. You can add multiple videos of different formats and repair them in one go using Stellar Repair for Video. Has anyone else experienced playback problems (skipping) near the outer edge of burnt DVD-R/DVD+R discs with VLC media player? I use an NEC ND-3520A drive, and even with high quality media such as Taiyo Yuden or Maxell that would play fine in DVD players, I would occasionally notice some minor skipping at the very end of the disc with VLC. Step 2: Click Add file to add the corrupt video files not playing VLC or other media players.
