lmao, course you are. you just gotta get to them before me :O you should have seen the nero logfile matt72 asked me to help on, it was horrendous as it had about 692.3 varying combinations of burns. i think we got there in the end though.
The problem is some of those Nero Logs are soooooooo long, that my eyes glaze over somewhere in the middle and I get a panic attack, got to get a guinness to chill down. Course after a few of those who really cares about the Nero Log anymore :~)
I kinda like the regular Nero burning ROM logs, it's like an easter egg hunt finding the problems, and there's usually many. It's the Nero Vision logs that are like 8 miles long and I stay away from them like they were the plague.
Hey BB, JD and all, hope everyone had a nice weekend. It was fun, but I'm glad to be back home where I can get a day or so of rest. As for those logs, I think Nero cringes at many of the posts. Seems the newbies are constantly giving away the serial numbers for activating the app. Also, I wonder at the number of help requests. Not that I mind, but it appears many are coming to the forums instead of Ahead (Nero) due to not owning the app and using the trials all the time. As I said, I don't mind, obviously the people at Ahead don't. Gives a bunch of these guys with time to kill something to do. LOL Have fun.
yeah, you know the number of threads related to Nero is growing when they dedicate a forum to Nero issues. Most of the time they still revolve around media (as we all know) but Nero does a great job about documenting everything, so we can pinpoint the problem without too much guesswork.
yeah, Nero log posts aren't really any different from other posts, ie it doesn't matter how many you answer, most new posters won't look thru any previous Nero posts where they'll find all the answers. ah well, keeps us all busy
I wish "Search and Learn" would be at the top of all the groups, the answers are all there. All you need is a little patience and you will find them.
I do agree, but it's tough to filter through the Nero logs at first. I think I spent a couple of weeks reading every one I came across before actually speaking up about them, I just had to build up my confidence in reading them.
Arniebear LOL "The fly in the soup" is that many new forum members would have to search that. Seems many just want to ask and have things delivered without putting in any personal effort. Same with the logs, wonder how many would find their own problems if they took time to look over their own logs closely?
I agree, with just a little effort you will find the answers. They found their way to AD all they got to do is go a little further and actually read some of the posts and find the answers.
tell me about it, i've been blitzing the new Nero forum as some of you who know me, expected me to. But you're quite right, it doesn't matter how many are solved, all the more will be posted without searching even the post before their post. Worse still they won't look at the reply directly before theirs in the SAME POST!. Perfect case in point is the official Hitch thread. I'm not complaining, especially as i'm now used to it. Just saying that i can't understand why so many people stumble upon afterdawn, post a post, but don't actually read the previous post to theirs. I guess the longer i'm here the more amazed i become that it will never stop!!
and you know what's daft about the Nero logs, as they're a great example - i for one attack the logs in the exact same way, every blessed time!. if new people read even 2 of my Nero replies, they'd see a pattern, and could see how easy it is. But they don't. Then there's the guy on a thread a few days ago who moaned that people such as me spewed put the same answers to so many threads and i told him that's because a lot of the symptoms are the same, therefore a lot of the fixes are the same. I dunno, the mind boggles !!
I finally unsubscribed to the Official Hitch thread, nobody was paying attention to any of the posts on there, it was getting too crazy.
i was gonna do that, but i keep watching it to see how far it can drag on!, and keep trying to resist the urge to reply to it
There are really only two answers, DVD Decrypter or AnyDVD both work. I got tired of some of the combinations it was getting insane.
@creaky Just to let you know I pulled out a backup disk of Wizard of Oz I had made from an original I had given to my grandaughter who ruined it. I planned to backup the backup. It was done on a Verbatim disk using my now boxed up 1008UI. Well the disk had CRC errors so bad that the computer froze. Goes to show you can use good media and still have bad backups if you have a crappy drive.
i know, generally i assume the hardware is fine, i always attack threads with logfiles on the basis that the drive is fine; i report what i see within the logfile, and work up from there. As long as ppl fix what's within, we can't do any more.., the rest is up to them...
ps if i recall correctlly, that's the duff BTC drive you mentioned before , yeah i think i remember it now
