Recording process stops after few minutes

Any thoughts on this please. I have a LG brand DVB-T DVD-recorder, a
year or so old. Lately I've noticed this. I properly initialize a
blank disc (DVD+RW, of reasonable quality) and start a recording. But
soon it stops. Specifically, this morning I was recording onto disc an
old silent movie with musical soundtrack that someone had sent me on
videotape. After 2-3 minutes, the recording stopped and the screen
briefly showed a message, 'Recording file information'. I erased the
recorded section and started over. This time the recording went for
over 10 minutes. But then again it stopped. (I imagine the same
message, 'Recording file information', was displayed, but I wasn't on
the spot to see it.)

Any thoughts, suggestions, please?

Thanks - Ken

I have some old video tapes I was transferring to my Panasonic DVD
recorder (to the hard disk for editing, then burn to DVD). Some
of the rather noisy and weak recordings, or occasionally static
between recordings, tripped the "this stuff is copyrighted" error,
even though it was recorded off the air maybe 10-25 years ago. It
wouldn't always stop in the same place.

Actually, anything really that weak wasn't worth saving, but I was
trying to suck in an entire 6-hour tape, slice it into shows, and
discard the useless stuff. There were often gaps of noise between
recordings. Once it decided there was copyrighted material, it
wouldn't burn *any* of it, so I had to transfer it again and be around
to shut off the transfer before it hit the bad part.

Thanks, Gordon. That makes sense in my case too. The problem does seem
to be related to certain material that is being copied - the problem
isn't invariable. I'll reflect on it.

Used to see this on my Panasonic, was a guess
of a bad batch of discs. Since I stopped using
anything you can buy in a store it's never
happened again.
