sorry about my spelling i did exactly what it said in the guide and it did not work it faile i did not save the log sorry
Without a log file I have nowhere to go. Here are some common problems to check: 1) Is your burners firmware up to date? 2) Is your ide settings set to DMA(how long did the entire process take?) 3) You said you didn't install InCD4, right?? 4) Have you installed an apsi layer? 5) What media were you using?(this is very important) 6) And, are you doing anything else on your PC while trying to burn? 7) Did you use the quality settings? 8) Did you do any editing or re-authoring? I really need a step by step of what you did exactly. You said it didn't work, where did it stop working exactly? Have you tried shrink 3.2 and auto burn with Nero? These programs work almost exactly the same, I have a simple guide I wrote for that too if we can't get Recode working :>)
i dontn know if im allowed 2 post it on here but its one thsat has been taken out of the shops for backing up your own data lol
Actually Afterdawn has a section for XCopy, but I would recommend you try to get recode and/or shrink working. Their quality is far superior and their editing/re-authoring capabilities are better too. However, if you're happy I guess that's all that really matters, good luck......
thankyou its nt that im happys its i ran out of discs doin it that way but i found a dvdrw and have decided wen i get some more discs im going 2 use my dvdrw before i use a disc to make sure i gt it write i have nero recode but it failed lol
Shrink 3.2 is free, it works almost exactly like recode, try it, and if it works you'll know something is wrong with your recode, if it doesn't you'll know it's operator error probably. You can get 3.2 here in AD.
Shrink 3.2 guide update: Here is a simple, easy to follow, basic Shrink 3.2 guide I wrote. You should have a fully functional working backup when done. Before you get started a couple of items of interest: No.1- Make sure you get good media, this is extremely important! You can get Ritek G04 4x or G05 8x -R or get Ritek Ridata 4x +R here, for under .50 each and w/ free shipping. Make sure they are "branded" and never burn at over 4x! http://store.yahoo.com/meritline/ritek-g04-dvd-r-dvde-blank-media-disc-discs.html No.2- Also, before you get started, Shrink will automatically open nero or Decrypter to burn so you don't have to open them, however you do have to choose your burner in them if you haven't already in Decrypter.... For Decrypter: Open decrypter, click on mode, drop down to ISO, across to write and then click on it. Then at the bottom choose your burner you want Decrypter to use. That's it, close Decrypter, you don't have to open Decrypter anymore. For nero: You'll choose your burner in Shrink(read guide) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK, here's the shrink guide, follow it to the letter, it's fairly simple: 1-open shrink 2-click on open disc, then choose your source video(disc)from your drive/ if you're using files on your HD then click on open files and choose your folder with your source video files. 3-wait for shrink to analyze(about a minute) and the new screen will come up 4-here you can go into extras by clicking on the + mark. 5-You can change compression on each or substitute still image for each until done. Each can be previewed in the preview window below. There is a drop down window on the top right side that has your compression and substitute options. 5a- you can raise compresssion or substitute a still image on all extras at once before you hit the + mark if so desired. By using the still image you maintain a working menu. 6-if you only want the movie and don't care about a menu, hit re-author, when screen comes up click and drag anything from the right side to the left side that you want to keep and then you will go to set up the analyze and burn features. 7-To set up burn w/nero click on edit > preferences > fileI/O > enable burn with Nero. Also here you can go to stream selections and choose english from both drop down menus, this will eliminate foreign audio tracks that can take up quite a bit of space. You also pick your DVD size here from the drop down menu. You can also choose custom and type in your size(I recommend 4300 to prevent burning to the edge). I would also recommend default for all other settings in the preferences window. 8-hit backup 9-under target device choose either file to your HD,or your burner. If you wish to burn with decrypter instead of Nero, choose iso image file and burn with decrypter 10-choose your temporary folder/ shrink will create this or you can make one(before you start) and name it and put it where you can find it. 11- under quality settings(I use this if it's over 10% compression,you must make your own choices here, this will take much longer, but is worth every minute!)check deep analysis and adaptive error compensation. Some say extra smoothness delivers the best quality. 12-hit OK and come back to a finished DVD, leave your PC alone, do not do anything on it while performing backup. No multitasking! I would add that leave menu alone if you want a working menu, and leave movie alone unless there are 2 movie titles, then pick the one you want(fullscreen or widescreen)and substitute a still image for the other one. Good luck :>)
thankyou for a styart to bigorange the shrink dvd i will use i was wondering this is totally going off the subject but wioll this copy the lates t games e.g. sims 2 in the same wasy or is that totally different thankyou for your time i will have a go and let you know let me know thankyou again bigorange
sigh, I'm sorry, but again I don't understand your question? Please clarify with punctuation and entire words. I'm not very good at PC speak, I apologize :>(
im saying thankyou to bigorange and was wondering if dvd shrink will copy dvd games such as the sims to and things like that and i was wondering will shrink to let the dvds play on ps2 thankyou sorry about my typing i rush sorry
I use decrypter and Alcohol 120 to do all my games. I only burn at 1x and your game must be modified before your copies will work. The game section can help more, those guys really know this stuff. But, you can modify it with a chip(that's what I did-the DMS 3+), or swap-magic, or HD Loader. The chip requires nothing but putting the game in.
shrink to let the dvds play on ps2 it's more up to the PS2game's compatibility than up to shrink. Different versions like the early ones only play -R and later ones play +R and -R.
thankyou for all of ur help greatly aprreciated to all of u thankyou will x8 peed be okay as dvd r disc as i have a dvd rw of 8 speed as i seen em for 5 pound on novatech thankyou
