i tried to copy an old movie (be cool) this one and a number of other ones keep freezing on my home unit. i have two home machine and they are freezing on both. what am i doing wrong i have the new version of fab express and i am using fujifilm dvd- 4.7gb. can some help?
If the copy plays o.k. on the pc, but freezes on the standalones, then you may try change the media or the burning programs/methods to test the results.
yeah change media the fuji flim dvd-r code out as prodisc which isnt great media .get better media like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim and burn at 4x max. or if you buy the fujifilm get the dvd+r that are made in japan they will code out as Taiyo Yuden and booktype them to DVD-ROM this will slove your problem
aabbccdd i am kind of new to this, if bring back my - and get the + fuji film what does it mean to booktype them to dvd-rom and how do i do it? sorry for all the questions but i am just starting to do this and would like to learn the right way. thanks for all the help
what kind of burner do you have? you can do it inside many programs ,dvd decrypter,dvd shrink ,nero etc. heres so threads on the subject http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/254313 http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/259481 http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/259481 http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/258859 http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/254089 read thoses ,should set you straight
aabbccdd i have a lite on sohw-16335 ok this should be the last one i hope, i buy dvd+ verbatim and set the book type to rom will my stand alone unit play dvd+ if it says it only play dvd-? again sorry about all the dumb questions. thanks again for all your help
YES because the dvd player will see(if you booktype) the dvd as a dvd-rom NOT a dvd+r which is the most compatible format for ALL standalone players
hey thanks aabbccdd, i looked for it in dvd decrypter but i cant find it and i tried shrink and there is no option for it. i am installing nero and i am going to try that. if i am doing something wrong please let me know, thanks again.
aabbccdd if i use dvd decrypter does that decryept it and make it dvd-rom and then use shrink to fit it on the disk?
No it needs to be set in the burning process NOT the encoding stage.so if your using dvd decrypter to burn After you use dvd shrink to encode set it there ,same if your using nero. this guide may help http://bbmayo.home.comcast.net/
ok i did just what it said on page you sent me but no where in there did they say anything about booktype does it do it by itself? thanks
timberlou , OK heres another article on how to booktype read this and follow it step by step BEFORE you start the ripping proccess and it will be setup to burn correctly when your ready http://www.k-probe.com/bitsetting-booktype-faq.php
aabbccdd ok that did it, thanks for all the help now to see if my stand alone will play it any more questions i will put it on the site i will drive someone eles nuts (haha) thanks again
lol there man glad you FINALLY got it right . some things you just have to read and figure out,let me know if it works , glad to help
you know i trade stock from my house and when i try and teach someone how to do it, it could drive me nuts because the questions sound so dumb. then i think how hard it was for me to learn and make money without working so i calm down and after a while they get it. sorry for driving you nuts but it helped a lot. aabbccdd why would the booktype in shrink be grayed out? thats an easy one. anyway thanks again and if i could help you with anything just let me know.
aabbccdd can you give me a link where i can buy verbatum dvd i need for my backup's, i know you said something about japan i tried jvc and they suck thanks
