    I installed the 21 day trial of anydvd and tried to
    burn a copy of my After the Sunset, burn worked fine
    then I had a problem copying onto the blank dvd.
    I am using Memorex DVD+R, Nero kept coming up with
    an error, "Not enough space on blank disc", the movie
    is only 92 minutes long and my DVD is 120 minutes.
    Nero says DVD required is DVD+/-/RW and wont burn on
    my DVD. When I was using XCopy I never had this problem
    I dont know what to do now. Can you help.

    Thanks

    for starters change your media, memorex only works for 1% of the population.

    You will need to start from scratch.

    What are your pc stats?
    programs you are currently using to burn dvds?
    errors you recieve ?
    i know the media but suggest you try ritek ridata discs ,prefferably -R TYPE.

    Hi, thanks for responding. I have very little knowledge of
    what I am trying to do, but I think I can answer the questions
    you asked. My se is WIN XP, I have never had a problem with the
    memorex but I will switch to a different brand. I'm not sure
    which problem you were responding to, my first question involved
    my DVDXCOPY, that was the missing play.dll file error I got.
    Then after reading alot of posts on your forum I downloaded
    the 21day trial of Anydvd, thats when I got the error "Not
    enough space on media", I realized after I posted my problem
    that Anydvd was not compressing the movie like my DVDXCOPY
    did, so now I have also downloaded the trial version of
    CLONEDVD2, if I can figure how to use these two tools I will
    purchase them and remove my copy of DVDXCOPY altogether, I just
    dont know if I'll be able to figure it out or not, I would
    assume I need to run the ANYDVD first with my movie to remove
    all the stuff that needs to be removed, the problem is as soon
    as thats done, it tells me to insert a DVD, I am also using
    NERO EXPRESS 6, so I dont know how I am supposed to use all
    three and in what order or how to do it, I get the ANYDVD part
    thats easy, but how do I get over to CLONEDVD when its asking
    me to insert a blank media. I know this probably sounds like
    I am a total idiot, and when it comes to this stuff believe
    me I am, any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated
    You are the only one who has even responded and it is greatly
    appreciated. Thanks very much.

    ok you seem to have lots of software but not the knowledge of how to use them.


    Slysofts anydvd is only used to allow you to bypass the copy protections that are on all commercially made dvds when you utilise programs like clone dvd etc.This program runs in the background when you use shrink/or clone

    Ok heres a link to a free program which you can download.Let me know when you have it.

    Thank you for your response, I realized late last nite
    that Anydvd was just a ripper and that the function
    DVDCopy did of compressing the files was not a feature
    so I went back to the forums and discovered I needed a
    seperate program to do the compression part and I downloaded
    Clonedvd2, it isnt in your list, is this one okay or should
    I get one of the ones you suggested instead, anyway after
    I downloaded the trial version I went back to the forums
    and printed out the instructions for using it, and tried
    the burn again and it worked, thanks for your input and help.
    On a different issue altogether I have discovered a nasty
    virus on my system that keeps redirecting me to websites
    everytime I logon, so I guess the rest of my life is goin
    to be devoted on trying to figure out how to get rid of it.
    i think the nasty virus is nail.exe and I have tried everything
    I could find, downloaded Hijackthis but of course I dont know
    what to do with the scan results, they give you a message be
    careful what you delete, so of course I am afraid to delete
    anything in case I screw up my whole system. I saved my log
    and will try to find something to help me determine what I
    should and shouldnt delete. I also downloaded a program that
    was supposed to remove it "Nail.exe" but it obviously didnt.
    I ran regedit last nite and found the files under my search
    assistand, deleted them and thought I was finally cured but
    of course as soon as I logged onto the internet today the
    ads stared popping up again, its driving me crazy, anyway
    thanks again for your help, I think I will buy Clonedvd2
    and Anydvd, they worked really well. They will be well worth
    the price.

    Bye for now
    Kim
