Newbie Help with DVD Decrypter

Hi There. I am a newbie here and at cpoying films to disk so please be a bit understanding if I ask something really stupid.

I have dowloadedsome films which I can watch on my PC no problems. Now I would like to burn them to disk so that I can watch them on a dvd player. I printed off instructions on this web site, AVI files to DVD with Avi2DVD. This seems to have worked okay. Then I went to use DVD Decrypter to burn this to disk. However, it is now that I get a problem.
I follw the instructions untill it comes to burn the disk. It says

Device not ready (Medium not present) What does this mean?
Could it be the discs I am trying to burn onto?

If someone can help it would be great. Thanks for the help,
Uzi.

 

i am a real newbie as well, but i get that if i forget to put a disc in the tray, that i want the copy on ! perhaps you need to try a different make of disc !

 

By the sound of things you've done ok up to final stage, normally you strike any errors before this. What medium are you burning to?

 

hi

sounds like discs

as gwendolin says need more info........

 

To burn with DVD Decrypter, the files need to be in ISO format.

If they are in a different format such as VOB you will need a program such as Nero to burn the files.

Also ensure you are using good quality media (e.g. Verbatim, Ritek, TY's etc.)

 

Hi. Thanks for the help so far. The discs I have tried so far are DVD R Datwrite Red 4.7GB General purpose 8xDVD-R, and some cheap and nasty Budget DVD-R 4.7GB.

Does this help?

 

hi

check my sig out for help

 

hi

use dvd indentifer or dvdinfo pro or dvd decrypter to tell us the media id codes off the discs (not brand as such).

 

Sorry, but how do I do that? I have Decrypter on my screen now.

 

hi

sorry it may not read? but go to iso write and then look at info filled window

you may need a update to the firmware of your drive to aid reading new discs?

 

Not sure what you mean but this is on screen

Label DVD
Sectors 2,227,697 (Mode 1\2048)
Size 4,562,323,456Bytes

Hi. I have no writing in that box.

 

hi

you must put in iso write mode from mode tab

if not use dvd identifer

 

Mode, scroll down and iso write is ticked.

What is DVD identifer?

Hi. In the top box it states, No Supported Drives Found.

There is no other relevent information like on yours.

It must be a drive problem for some reason?
