Anydvd and Clonedvd2 Too Good

Well I disabled all anti-virus & Firewalls before backing up SkyHigh.

Movie only, @ 4X, total process took 50 minutes.

Better than before, but does that sound about right ?

 

You are getting closer, next time try running windows task manager and look at what other processes are running in the background sucking up CPU and memory.Some spyware will hog resources...Just trying to bounce ideas out to see if anything clicks or triggers a response..Spybot is a good program to remove unwanted stuff.

That's good for 4x but you could cut the time down even more by using 8x just don't go over 8x. I use 8x and get very good backups.

 

I do have Spybot, but it's not always running in background, I think ?

I'll run task manager, to see what's running.

@taylor30......I'm using Verbatim DataLifePlus -R's rated @ 8X ,

can I still burn @ 8X's ?

Also I currently have 1.5 ghz of memory on my PC(check my sig.)

was thinking about buying another stick of 512 ghz.
Really cheap right now @ Fry's Electronics.

Yes, You can burn up to 8x. Just set the speed to 8x or Maximum. I use TDK and Phillips rated at 8x.

 

when I open windows task manager,

Am I looking @ Applications, or Processes ?

 

Processes

 

Thers all kinds of stuff running when I checked Processess.

What's up w/ that ?

 

That's all the stuff that is in memory and how much memory it takes up.

 

You have plenty of memory to run your processes. I have 2g and only use 20% of it.

Check your startup and see just what is loading when you boot your PC. Go to your start then run and type in msconfig then choose the startup tab and see just what is checked and loading at start. Just hit cancel to get out of it.

 

Man there's alot of stuff @ startup. I've noticed that my PC has been taking longer to start up, & to get online at first.

Everytime I just try to uncheck stuff & restart, I keep getting these error messages. Then I'll just restore everything again.

Also I don't know what to delete, because most of it is so abbreviated.

Not sure what is what.........

 

Kind of hard to tell you what to load at startup, every computer is different. Drivers for hardware always need to be loaded, i.e. sound, video, mouse or wireless internet connections. However, a lot of programs will put things to startup in there, such as qtask which is quicktime this is not necessary to start with the computer, nor adobe, itunes or microsoft office. As stated it is what your computer has on it. You can use google to check out what the extensions are what they do and what is necessary and what is not. I load very little at startup it makes for a faster starup and less processes running.

 

i just bought my boys chicken little and stuart little3. both are sony products. i had a rought time backing up chicken little i couldnt do it with clonedvd had to use dvdfab decrypter then vobblanker the clonedvd. i have heard others say that you should wait a couple weeks to back up these newer movies cause anydvd or clonedvd hasnt updated its system for newer protections. is this what happend here with these two movies? chicken little i thinks burnt perfect but stuart little 3 might have a little skip in it.

 

Did you try the ripper that is now included with CloneDVD, this also works with the movies.

 

arnie i dont have that on my anydvd toolbar?

 

another question. i just borrowed some dvds blanks from a friend they are WINData dvds i used dvd indentafier and it says they are TY manufacture.. are these a good brand?

 

In reference to Chicken Little and Stuart Little 3, I was able to do the whole movie with CloneDVD2 with AnyDVD in the background. Make sure that you have the most recent versions of the software.

 

I tried copying the movie "The Cave" with dvd shrink and clonedvd2.
I could not copy the movie with either program. With clonedvd2 it would tell me that there was not any recordable media, with shrink it gave me a different error. Both programs said there was no encryption. Anyone have a clue on this one?
Thanks!
