I have been doing great making copies of my movies and now I get this error: I/O error:[0:0:0] HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B A101 (E(USB). Any body have any ideas what this is? I have been able to shrink the movie to a file but the burner won't burn. can anyone help?
hi maybe the drivers? uninstall in device manager and reboot pc! check DMA settings! as after 6 errors or so it will go to PIO mode! what tells you the I/O error? have you changed disc type media since the prob?
DVD Decryptor comes up with the error. I don't know what the DMA settings are that you are talking about. I sometimes have problems when I try to read from one drive and then burn with the other so I eventually give up and then just use the same dvd burner drive to read and then burn with. I am trying a different disc to copy now so if this don't work, I will unistall the bruner and reinstall it.
1. Running Programs Make sure you quit all running background programs, such as anti-virus software. Windows 95 Users Use the Ctrl-Alt-Del function to quit all the programs using the Task Manager, EXCEPT for the Explorer, systray, and your recording software Windows 98/ME Users Select [Start] -> [Run], then input "msconfig". Disable everything under the [Startup] tab, except "system tray'. Windows 2000/XP Users Open the Task Manager, then select the program/s under the [Application] tab, then click [End Task]. 2. Drive Connection Other devices may be interfering with the CD-R/RW drive. Disconnect all other removable devices, then try recording again. If there is still a problem, try the following. Optimal Hardware Configuration All hard drives are placed on the Primary IDE, check that the drives are correctly set as master/slave. CD-ROM/CD-R/RW drives are placed on the Secondary IDE, set the recording drive as the "master". If you are using a USB or IEEE devices, disconnect them. Update your chipset Windows 95/98/ME Users Right click on [My Computer] and select [Properties] from the menu. Click on [Device Manager], then click to open [Hard Disk Controllers]. You will find: the Primary IDE Channel controller, the Secondary IDE Channel controller and a brand name controller, e.g. Intel, SIS, VIA, etc. The brand name controller is what needs to be updated. Please visit their website to obtain these updates. Windows NT/2000/XP Users Right click on [My Computer] and select [Properties] from the menu. Click [Device Manager] on the [Hardware] tab, then click to open the [IDE ATA/ATAPI (hard disk) controllers] section. You will find: the Primary IDE Channel controller, Secondary IDE Channel controller, and a brand name controller, e.g. Intel, SIS, VIA, etc. The brand name controller is what needs to be updated. Please visit their website to obtain these updates. Configure Windows Make sure that your operating system has been fully updated. Visit the Microsoft website to acquire these updates. 3. ASPI Manager Check your ASPI layer configuration. Your recording program is likely to use the standard windows ASPI layer, which has been replaced by another ASPI layer of yet another recording program. Make sure you have the original windows ASPI layer in use and retry. If the problem persists, contact the drive maker. 4. DMA Settings Setting DMA mode: Windows 95/98/ME Users Right click on [My Computer] and select [Properties] from the menu. Click on [Device Manager], then click on [CD-ROM]. This will expand to show the CD drives on your system. Right click on a drive and select [Properties] from the menu. Click on the [Settings] tab and check that the [DMA] option is enabled. Repeat this procedure for the remaining CD drives. Win NT/2000/XP Users Right click on [My Computer] and select [Properties] from the menu. Click [Device Manager] on the [Hardware] tab, then click to open the [IDE ATA/ATAPI (hard disk) controllers] section. You will find: the Primary IDE Channel controller, Secondary IDE Channel controller. Complete the following procedure: Right click on the Primary IDE controller and select [Properties] from the menu. Select the [Advanced Settings] tab. Check that the [Transfer Mode] for both devices is set to [DMA if available]. Repeat this for Secondary IDE controller. Note: In some cases older CD-ROM drives will not support DMA mode. In that case please set both devices to PIO mode. 5. Disc Recording errors often occur when the disc is dirty, or has fingerprints or scratches. If an error occurred during test simulation (before actual recording), clean the disc. If you are getting recording errors, try the following. Use a different blank, recordable disc. Use a different manufacturer's disc. Ensure the disc is clean before recording: Remove all fingerprints, dirt, and dust from the shiny side of your disc using a nonabrasive cloth with a mild, nonabrasive soap solution. Wipe the disc from the center to the edge of the disc. Dry the disc completely. Error during file verification If an error occurred when the files were being verified, record the same files again using a different disc. Read error when copying a disc When copying a disc, if an error occurred while reading data from the original disc, the original disc may be scratched or dirty. Try cleaning the disc. Remove all fingerprints, dirt, and dust from the shiny side of your disc using a nonabrasive cloth with a mild, nonabrasive soap solution. Wipe the disc from the center to the edge of the disc. Dry the disc completely. Try using a different source drive. To change the drive you use to read your disc, click the Change button when asked to insert a source disc into your drive tray. Select the drive you wish to use from the drop-down menu. Insert your disc into the new drive. Try using copying the disc using one drive as both the source and destination drive. When you use your recorder to both read and write to your disc, B's Recorder GOLD creates an image file of the entire disc to your hard drive and then copies that temporary file onto your blank disc. This can be helpful if the drive you are using to read your original disc is slow or unreliable. If the problem persists, contact the drive maker. 6. Drive If you have tried Actions 1 through 5 above, there may be a problem with your drive. Contact the drive maker with details of the error code. If the 5th and 6th digit of the error code is 80 through FF, then the error code is maker unique. The descriptions of these error codes differ depending on the maker.
Well before i read your last message, I had uninstalled DVD Decrypter and the driver for the burner and reinstalled both but nothing. I did see another error that said "Interpretation- check condition" and "Interpretation- write error" so I used a new pack of discs, DVD-R as opposed tot he old ones DVD+R and now they work so I don't know if the rest of the old discs are bad for some reason or maybe it is the difference between the +R and -R, I don't know. But anyways, what is the difference between the +R and the -R and which one is better or anything like that?
hi without going into a mass of info -R is better generally, but were the discs the same id codes? use dvd identifier to see this! cheap discs and id codes suck bigtime need good quality discs i use ritek GO5 8x -R with names like ANV / SILVERS / RIVISION etc, same id codes!
arbrnhntr, Now, it's a good thing that you've noticed something about your DVD Burner. As you've mentioned that you've made a successful with the DVD-R backed up and "not" the +R. Perhaps, you might want to update your firmware on your dvd burner. At times, any upgraded will make your burner more compatible with other media formats or burn a little faster. Please keep in mind to back up all your value dvd movies with "FUJI, MAXELL, TY, VERBATIM, SONY and TDK" only [make sure it says: MADE IN JAPAN or SINGAPORE] and "PLEASE STAY" away from MEMOREX.
Funny you mention to stay away from the Memorex b/c that is what I was using was Memorex dvd+r. My new ones are JVC dvd-r. I bought the "cheapies" from walmart b/c I was still experimenting and I dind't want to be wasting big money when the stuff didn't work and I finally figured things out so, no biggie to me. What is this dvd identifier that rotary was talking about? Is it another program I should download or something. FYI, I am in the military and will be going back out to the field for another month tomorrow so if I don't respond back for a bit, it isn't that I am ignoring ya, I am just away. many thanks people..........chris
ok I downloaded and installed the dvd identifier, so again, what was the purpose of this program and the ID code?
DVD Identifier will tell you the brand and code of your media, it helps you know if it is a good brand, and whether it is compatible with your burner. Here are some articles that may help you http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/petesguide12.html http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/dvd_tech.html http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm As for your DMA settings since you are using USB drive, DMA settings do not apply. It is more than likely your drive just did not like the disks, make sure the firmware on your burner is up to date, this will aid in media recognition.
