i need help - for some reason my dvd-rw drive doesn't seem to recognise there being a dvd-r in the drive, and it thinks its a cd and will only burn to 700 mb capacity. this has never happened before. what the fusk is wrong? btw im using Cheetah DVD Burner. Any help is appreciated, and don't say 'just google it'.
Shite media by the sound of it, I have the same problem. my external drive will read my compUSA media but my daughters pc wont. what brand of media are you using ????????
try a firmware update it is a dvd blank isnt it??? check with this to see what it is http://dvdidentifier.cdfreaks.com
it's a blank. i used dvd identifier and i get this message..

did you see this???? open up dvd decrypter(if you have it)..TOOLS,DRIVE,CHECK FOR FIRMWARE UPDATE, the dvd identifier is saying the burner you have is not recognising the dvd's you have
I find that the best way for the pc to pick up the DVD is by using"DVD CLONE" this picks up the burnt DVD no probs and lets u do wat u want
im not dealing with dvds that have been burnt. im having trouble with the drive/software recognising theres a dvdr in the drive, not a cdr.
i have the exact same problem and the exact same dvd burner and i ran the dvd identifier and i cant find the firmware update for that burner
Find your firmware update for your drive here: http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php No, it will still try to check for updates, but you should disable this function immediately. There will be no more updates, and you really don't want Decrypter to try to check the server for one. It's a bit paranoid, but the server might keep track of your IP address... which might land you in hot water via a lawsuit. So, open Decrypter, and then "Tools" --> "Settings" --> "Events" --> and then under "On Start-up", uncheck the "check for program update" option. Also, I would block Decrypter from accessing the Internet via your firewall. If you run into a DVD that Decrypter can't handle (as it becomes older and out-of-date), then get ANYDVD and run it in the background while ripping with DVDshrink.
i created another topic about the samething u might find something useful here http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/199401 even tho ppl said they got it working but im still to reluctant to try it since i have very limited knowledge about computers.. but tell me if whether or not it works if u decided to try it. maby u can teach me how to do it after u got it working, best of luck
