Ibought DVDx copy in Feb of this year. It worked fine for a while then it started finalizing early and reading error writing disc every once in a while. then it started doing the same thing more often now thats all it does. Ive tried the blacklist things and everything recommended on the site, could it be something else? what should I do now,someone please help me.
I have version 3.2.1 dvdxcopoy express. I also tried my cousins gold version 2. something Im not sure what version. It did the same thing. COuld there be something wrong with my dvd/rw drive?
How did you try your cousins? Is Gold on a different pc? Try updating your aspi layer http://forceaspi18.w.interia.pl/
i restored my pc thinking something got erased. I updated my aspi layer, i deleted all the blacklisted items that I found, I disabled my startup items, I also disabled norton anti-virus. I dont understand cause it worked fine up until this past month or so.
Have you done all of your windows updates? Also what type of media are you using? Have you tried to re-install XCopy Xpress? Which aspi layer did you install?
i did all the updates and I istalled the force aspi thing that everyone recommended. What I dont' understand is why it worked then it didnt. I didnt do anything different. Is there any way to check the dvd/rw drive. At one point before I restored I couldnt burn a cd from Windows media player and sometime now, when I watch a dvd, it encounters a probrem and shuts it down. I have backed up about 100 dvd's and this problem started in 1 out of about 20 then it occured more often, now that's all it does. It will read fine and then when it starts writing, I here the Drive stop running and it finializes in about 10 seconds and reads error writing disc, doesnt say what the error is or anything.
as far as media, i am using dvd+r. The same dvd's worked fine until about halfway through a pack of 50. Now out of the last 50 I bouhgt I burned maybe 5 cd's cause when It starts to finalize it messes up the disc. I think, I dont try to use them again so I am assuming its messing them up. when You open a disc and try burning, doesnt it mess up the disc where you cant use it again.
Well to find out if it's the software or the drive you'll need to try other software. Try backing up using DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter.
I have DVD shrink but I dont know how to use it. I have nero 6 coming in the mail. I have a movie I downloaded from shrink but Im waiting on Nero to try to burn it. How would I go about doing that.
I know this is gonna make me sound stupid but how do you check which file system you have. I use to know because I checked before on my other computer. I have windows xp and I am still learning it.
by the way, my ASPI is forceASPI 1.7, is there a later version and how do I get it, if there is a update?
to check your file system: Open my computer, right click on your local disk. If your running XP, it should be NTFS. The reason I'm asking is because DVD Decrypter will burn as well as rip. It will burn ISO's. So using DVD Shrink w/ DVD Decrypter: 1) Open Shrink, open disc 2) Click "backup!" 3) Change target destination to "ISO Image File", and check the box to Launch DVD Decrypter 4) Click ok If your able to successfully burn, then it's not your burner ... it's XCopy. Then we can figure out what's wrong with that
i cant get nero to burn, it is shaded gray and wont turn where i can use it. I dont understand dvd shrink. I open disk, it encodes everything when I go to back up it says there is an error. I dont understand dvd decypter at all, do you run that with shrink or is it built into shrink. Nothing seems to work. I know my cd/rw drive works, but does that mean the dvd part works or can I assume that even though they are built together they are two seperate burners. I know I am sounding stupid right about now but Im trying. thanks for all the help you've given me.
Shrink will only rip, compress and encode ... it will not burn by itself. So working with either Nero or Decrypter it will burn. Do you mean dvd-rw? Or do you have two burners(a dvd burner and a cd-burner)? A dvd-rw will burn dvd's and cd's. A cd-rw will only burn cd's. You have Nero ... Did you install InCD4?
I have both a cd/dvd rw drives. The cd part works cause I just burnt some cd's yesturday.I install the other part of nero now it says i need a plug in for dvd's.
Sorry to keep asking, but everytime I read it, I still can't tell. How many burners? And the cd part works in which drive?
