3.0.2.0 is old now, the latest is 3.0.3.5, or 3.0.3.8 Beta (which i'm using now). You must always check for updates to ensure being able to cope with newer encryptions..
the MI3 part would be great but most burning woes can be sorted out from a burning log entry so any would do if you can't find the MI3 part
If it's the last dvd you burned then it's probably the last log. You can also rerip it w/ one of the version of DVDFab creaky listed - then before you use Shrink - play the ripped files with one of the media players. If all ok then burn. But looking thru 1st - may have some tweaks for you.

Yep that's it. So here are some suggestions for you. Nero API version: 6.3.1.20 Update Nero to 6.6.0.18 - some fixes since the version you are using including dual layer burning. Here are some links: Package 1 http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2 (recode & vision) http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164B>Version: D108 Here's a firmware update for your drive. Dell has it clssifies as 'urgent' - Firmware update improving writes/reads to certain marginal CD-R, DVD-R and DVD+R discs Ritek dual layer I consider marginal so hopefully the media codes in this update will help these disc. Though the log show that the discs are recognized by the drive. http://support.dell.com/support/dow...1&vercnt=2&formatcnt=1&libid=32&fileid=164264 Better dual layer media would be Verbatim. CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164B atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: Off Need to get the drive back in DMA mode. Here's a guide:http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 Reason it took 1 hr 20 mins to burn. Give those a go & let us know.
hey thanx a lot i'll give it a shot one more question, the dvd i burned to was rw --if i try to burn once more on that disc over the copy that didn't work will the quality be decreased?
From the log the disc was only a +R so it's not rewritable. For that you need +RW or -RW discs. I'm not sure if dual layer comes in that format. But when using +/- RW discs - do a full erase then burn. Quality doesn't decrease too much - just from my experience. But if poor quality media more than likely would. Give the suggestions a go and keep us posted!
oh man guys! that whole dma mode thing --frikkin supercharged my ripping and burning! i'm getting them all done in less than 20 minutes! so what exactly is the dma mode?? why does it make such a difference? i got all the updates as well but i'm still having issues with mi3 and now house of flying daggers keeps shutting dvdfab down. (hmmm fix one problem find another, this is starting to sound like my car)
- snippet from http://winhlp.com/WxDMA.htm As to House of Flying Daggers, try and use just DVD Shrink for 'movie only', and DVD Decrypter also. if still not working try reinstalling an older version of DVDFab Decrypter..
so it's basically kind of another one of windows "user friendly" features that just ends up being a pain in the butt.
absolutely. that being said i've never had the problem myself, maybe because my trusty main ripping drive is in a USB2.0 enclosure and DMA isn't relevant for USB devices.
@notyou DMA & PIO are your data transfer rate modes. PIO (program input/output) is much slower than DMA (direct memory access). For more info and it check out this link Never ran into yet either reverting to PIO w/ my internal drives and I've ripped some pretty scratched discs. Guess it also depends on how good the drive is reading thru the bad spots.
