Although the Plex Premium is more expensive than the Lite-ON or Asus burners, you get more for the dollar with a purchase of a Plex Premium. _ _ _ _ _X_X_X_X_X_[small]MSI KT6V-LSR MS-7021 AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (OC'd to 3400+) 1 Gig Corsair XMS PC3200 (OC'd DDR500) MSI MS Starforce nVidia GeForce FX5500(256 DDR) Maxtor ATA\133 200 gig Lite-ON LTD165H DVD-ROM Lite-ON LDW411S DVD-Burner[/small]
Great information, Shoey! Would you mind giving me the skinny on the settings for BW5 and SafeDisc 3.2.022? My BW5/Plex Premium copies of Doom3 haven't worked yet whereas the copies made with A120/Plex Premium work fine in my 166S.

Neph, I posted Blindwrite 5 (my bad) as it was supposed to be BlindWrite Suite 4.57. Use your Plex Premium as reader&write Read settings: 1) Authorize the use of alternative method 2) Choose nibble and read at 8x ====================================================== Write settings 1) NO AWS, NO autoplay enabled, burn DAO pw at 4x _ _ _X_X_X_X_X_[small]MSI KT6V-LSR MS-7021 AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (OC'd to 3400+) 1 Gig Corsair XMS PC3200 (OC'd DDR500) MSI MS Starforce nVidia GeForce FX5500(256 DDR) Maxtor ATA\133 200 gig Lite-ON LTD165H DVD-ROM Lite-ON LDW411S DVD-Burner[/small]
I'll expand a bit more. Far Cry (SD 3.15) and Painkiller (SD 3.2) were no problem for BW5/PlexPremium/Plex 708A. The copies played fine in all three of my drives. Great success for the Premium and 708A. Doom 3 (SD 3.2.022) is another story. For BW5 I used my usual settings for SafeDisc/PlexPremium via BW5 Tweaker.

Any suggestions? These are the same settings I used for SD 3.15/3.2. On a brighter note the A120/PlexPremium combo worked wonderfully with the default SafeDisc 2/3 settings except for changing the write speed to 4X. The copy plays fine in my 166S. All images were extracted with my Lite On 166S.
Cool! Thanks. I'll try those settings and report back _X_X_X_X_X_[small] JMLS-166S/Plextor PX-708A/Plextor Premium My Movies! http://www.intervocative.com/dvdcollection.aspx/Rephaim Got Indie? http://cdbaby.com/[/small]
make sure you are makeing the immages from the plex premium like he suggested... and slow the read and write speeds way down
Well my attempts at using BW 4.57 haven't panned out yet Reading/writing was done with my PlexPremium. For the read I authorized the use of alternative method, chose nibble and read at 8X. For the write I burned DAO pw at 4X but could not find settings for No AWS or No Autoplay, did I miss something Shoey?
Open BlindWrite>go to general settings>there you see options to enable autoplay and EWS Disable both, use Plex Premium read& burn at 4x. If backup fails then try your Litey LTD 166 as reader m8. Alcohol 120%, CloneCD or any "emulation"(Daemon Tools) software installed? If so uninstall>reboot. _ _ _X_X_X_X_X_[small]MSI KT6V-LSR MS-7021 AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (OC'd to 3200+) 1 Gig Corsair XMS PC3200 (OC'd DDR500) MSI MS Starforce nVidia GeForce FX5500(256 DDR) Maxtor ATA\133 200 gig Lite-ON LTD165H DVD-ROM Lite-ON LDW411S DVD-Burner[/small]
I've got A120 and Daemon installed but none of the emulation options active when testing the copies. Would it make a difference hving them installed but not running considering my previous copy with A120 worked?
Success. As always, you are my mentor Shoey It seems this copy verifies a bit quicker than the one I made with A120. Interesting.
Congrats Neph, er, I mean the Plex Premium? (hehe). Anyways, I personally would uninstall Alcohol 120% and any other "emulation" software and test your backup again to be 100% sure No need for "red beer" now (yipee) as I'm not a big fan of Alcohol 120%, never was...
I've got access to a PC that's never had any sort of burning or emulation software on it so I'll give it a shot on that one as well
HI!I read everything but i don´t get it.I really need help and very fast.I wanna bakup doom 3 too what do i need and how to use step by step from the beginnig.Please be patient and tell me.Thank you.Need the answer in less than 5h.
Be patient yet respond within 5 hours? (hehe). If you don't the following cd burners, don't bother tryin to make a working backup. 1) Plex Premium (52\32\52x) 2) Lite-ON 52\32\52x 3) Asus 52\32\52x Most people have reported success with the Plextor Premium
Dunno what i have.And wanna open my pc.How do i find out? i have 2 drives a white one and a black one,that is the burner.Oh,by the way.Doom 3 has a safedisc 2 protection.I make a iso with alcohol120% with option safedisc 2/3 selected and i get disk reading problem in the small progress box but it continues creating the iso.well......What do i do?
Every drive in existence is either white or black. Use Nero Info Tool to ID your drive. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/nero_info_tool.cfm Doom 3 is SafeDisc 3.2.022. You can use A-Ray Scanner to confirm this. http://www.aray-software.com/ This is part of how SafeDisc works, is quite normal, occurs at the beginning of the disc and will eventually stop so just let it do it's thing
hey pal.Thanks for the help.I apreciate it,but i have even a bigger problem:I dunno what i have,but it worked.I can play need for speed 5.But with doom there is a problem:it sais detected cd emulation software,please disable it and restart doom3.Now what.
Well uninstall any software that runs "emulation" such as Alcohol 120%, CloneCD or Daemon Tools>reboot and play the backup of Doom 3 in your dvd or cd-rom, not your burner. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]MSI KT6V-LSR MS-7021 AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (OC'd to 3200+) 1 Gig Corsair XMS PC3200 (OC'd DDR 400) MSI MS Starforce nVidia GeForce FX5500(256 DDR) Maxtor ATA\133 200 gig Lite-ON LTD165H DVD-ROM Lite-ON LDW411S DVD-Burner[/small]
