when trying to copy a DVD using xcopy express what normally happens is, it asks me to insert the DVD i want copying then telling me it has detected blank media do i want to burn automatically today it did not ask me whether i wanted to burn but went ahead and read anyway, but when it had finished reading crashing out i have reinstalled but always the same result any ideas guys?
What version of express are you using? You could also update your aspi layer. ForceASPI is a good one. Have you tried to start the process without a blank in the drive?
'What version of express are you using?' DVD X Copy XPress Version: 3.2.1 'You could also update your aspi layer' i worked previously and im using an up to date build of XP 'Have you tried to start the process without a blank in the drive?' yes same result - also tried using the write drive to also read the movie with the same result
What do you mean by up to date build of XP? What aspi layer do you have? Also post this question here: http://dvdxcopy.afterdawn.com This site is soely dedicated to 321 products. Hopefully you'll get your answers faster. Good luck.
Sorry new to all this, i have dvdxcopy. Does it mean i can put any size dvd on to 1 disc? E.g. will a 6.7 gb dvd bit on the blank 4.7??
RyanZ06, So far I've never had a problem with XCopy. You shouldn't have any with on 6GB. Only bad news I got for you is, you wasted your money. But alot of us did, so while your here I also suggest trying DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter if you haven't already. Both are free. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Dell 8250, Pentium 4 2.80GHz 1.5 GB RDRAM, 200GB HD TDK 840G, Sony DDU-1612 DVD-ROM XP Pro, ATI All-In-Wonder 9000 Pro Gateway 450, Pentium III 450MHz 384 MB SDRAM, 160GB HD NEC 2100A, LiteOn LTD-163 DVD-ROM XP Home, 16MB nVidia RIVA TNT[/small]
Yes I have, tryed loads of stuff. I also have a 7.15 movie which i put on my hardrive with decrypter, i tryed using shrink but i could only get it down to 5.4, which wont fit (will it?) What do i do?
RyanZ06, When you open shrink, click edit, then preferences... default for dvd5 is 4464 or so. You can change it to custom and put 4300.
Ok Cheers Flip 1 more question for the moment, didnt know where else to put it direct me if wrong but... This decrypted movie, i havent got a dvd rw to put it on yet but is there a quick simple way to converting it to (s)VCD
You'll need a program that can most likely compress and split the movie. When using shrink it will create a 4.35GB file ... and a VCD your looking at 700MB. I've never tinkered with it, but I know 321studios DVD Copy Plus will do it.
I try not to use RW's ... too expensive. But if your asking between +R or -R, I usually get +R. Also +/-R's are more compatible with my players.
