I just got a dvd burner and I used Shrink and Nero to burn a dvd. Every time I try to burn, it writes 10% of the video file and then aborts because of an error. What can I do?
Do you have any other programs for burning installed other than Nero? If so, this may create a conflict and cause Nero to not function properly. Have you looked on the website of the maker of your burner to see if there is a firmware upgrade that might fix whatever problem there might be with the current one? Maybe try ForceASPI? Give us a little more info about the error too, so we can help a little better. Good Luck!
Well things you can do: 1) Update your burners firmware 2) Make sure you burner is you master drive on it's IDE cable 3) Make sure you IDE settings are set to DMA 4) Update your aspi layer, ellizit gave a great suggestion ForceASPI. It's the easiest to install and can go on any O/S. Also what would help us is post your system specs. O/S, processor, ram, HD, free HD space?
I have Sony Pentium 3, 850 megahertz drive, windows xp home. I am using dvd shrink to encode my files and then I use Nreo to burn. It is allowing me to start burning and then it aborts at around 10%. The error is as follows: 7:48:45 PM #24 SCSI -1135 File Cdrdrv.cpp, Line 1442 SCSI Exec, HA 2, TA 0, LUN 0, buffer 0x03096000 Status: 0x04 (0x01, SCSI_ERR) HA-Status 0x00 (0x00, OK) TA-Status 0x02 (0x01, SCSI_TASTATUS_CHKCOND) Sense Key: 0x03 (KEY_MEDIUM_ERROR) Sense Code: 0x0C Sense Qual: 0x00 CDB Data: 0x5C 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0C 0x00 0x00 0x00 Sense Data: 0x70 0x00 0x03 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0A 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0C 0x00 7:48:45 PM #25 SCSI -1064 File Cdrdrv.cpp, Line 1442 SCSI Exec, HA 2, TA 0, LUN 0, buffer 0x072A0000 Status: 0x04 (0x01, SCSI_ERR) HA-Status 0x00 (0x00, OK) TA-Status 0x02 (0x01, SCSI_TASTATUS_CHKCOND) Sense Key: 0x05 (KEY_ILLEGAL_REQUEST) Sense Code: 0x21 Sense Qual: 0x02 CDB Data: 0x2A 0x00 0x00 0x21 0x01 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x20 0x00 0x00 0x00 Sense Data: 0x70 0x00 0x05 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0A 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x21 0x02 7:48:45 PM #26 CDR -1135 File Writer.cpp, Line 304 Write error SONY DVD RW DW-U18A\H2 T0 7:48:45 PM #27 Text 0 File ThreadedTransfer.cpp, Line 229 all writers idle, stopping conversion 7:48:45 PM #28 Text 0 File ThreadedTransfer.cpp, Line 223 conversion idle, stopping reader 7:48:45 PM #29 Text 0 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1703 Set remaining time: 0:00,000 (0ms) -> OK 7:48:45 PM #30 Text 0 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1703 Set remaining time: 0:00,000 (0ms) -> OK 7:48:45 PM #31 Phase 38 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1845 Burn process failed at 8x (11,080 KB/s) Thank you so much for your help.
I think that I got it to work. I slowed the burning dowm to 4x and that seems to have done it. It skips a little in my stand-alone dvd player but at least I got the burner to work. Thanks for all your help.
If the movie skips towards the end of the film, you might have a problem of burning too close to the outside edge of the disc. To fix this, go to the Shrink preferences and set the disc size to custom, then enter 4400 mb as the size. This will "shrink" the movie some more, but keep the data from being burnt to the outter edge of the disc. Another fix for this is quality media. I personally use Ritek G04 DVD-R's, and I don't have any movies that skip. Also, you can always slow the speed of the burner down some more and see if that fixes it (if you can stand the longer wait). Good Luck!
If available your ide settings should be DMA. To check right click my computer, then properties, then click hardware then device manager. Look for IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.. click the plus and right click primary ide controller, then preferences. Under the advanced tab you see current transfer mode. Make sure they say DMA if available. If you make any changes, reboot. Also if they already say DMA, try updating your aspi layer.
