Hi So far I have been using dvd decryptor and then when that became obsolete for new films I was using dvdFab decryptor. All was ok using dvd Fab (freeware version) until I wanted to copy the Will Ferrel film Stranger Than Fiction and also the original french version of Three Men and a Baby. Both would not even start decrypting and dvdFab came up with a window asking me to send the info of that film to them for research. I then dloaded dvdFab Platinum timed demo to see if their full version with latest updates would decrypt it and it did and so did dvd shrink with the remaining files! The only problem I then had was that every time it came to burn it there was a burn error and another coaster! I'm confused as to weather Nero was at fault somehow or dvdFab Platinum didn't do its job properly with decrypting and leaving something that f*ct the burning stage up? Thanks for reading and it would be great if you could shed any light on this for me.. Ps...I'm no expert with decrypting discs etc and have had an easy run so far. If it came to adjusting settings and stuff I have never been there nor needed to. Cheers
Being as you have already ripped the discs to your hdd, the hard part has been done. The problems you are experiencing are you're either burning way too fast and/or using low quality media. Burn the files again at 4X or 8X max speed. What brand of discs are you using?
I'm confused? why would you even use Shrink or Nero if you have DVDFab Platinum? DVDFab Platinum would do the whole job from decrypting to burning! why go through all the trouble to use Shrink and then Nero? All in all it should only take you about 15mins to read the disk and then about 8-15mins to burn the disk with DVDFab Platinum..... sometimes even faster times depending on the movie you are trying to copy. And if it is always having a burn problem using Nero why not show us your Nero logs so we can see where it's gone wrong!?
I just tried to burn those films again using dvdfabplatinum for whole process and at 4x (which is the speed I always use). Guess what another coaster! The log on platinum shows... /04/2007 11:41:49 info ******************** Report session started ******************** 22/04/2007 11:58:36 info Media removed.

Sorry..I think this is the log you need ... 11:48:56: Burn DVD folder (G:\My Documents\Shrink Videos 4 copying\Decryption files\FullDisc\Stranger Than Fiction\VIDEO_TS\) started 12:05:50: Task_2 failed! Error=116 12:05:51: Process failed!
I just checked that this code means... 116 HWS_WRITINGFAILED // Writing failed (write error or process aborted) but I'm still none the wiser?
your burner is 3 yrs old now! buying media for this burner will be difficult because new write strategies will be needed and that means you will need a firmware update to help your drive cope with the newer media! but...... the last firmware update was in 2004! I guess you will be needing a new burner soon. Packet writing utilities are notorious for interfering with burn processes, as the way it works is to continually poll the burner to check for new media. This prevents the burn application gaining exclusive access to the burner, and sense code errors will happen - every time. Get rid of all packet writing utilities. They are more trouble than they are worth. you can do better than Fujifilm disks! Those are not the best. MIJs are the best. Made in Japan disks are more widely recognized by burners and therefore more compatible to burners which make them a much better choice to use! You can find MIJs by looking on the label of the box or spindle and making sure it says MIJ before you buy! If you are online at Rima.com, Supermediastore.com, Meritline.com, Newegg.com and others then know that Taiyo Yuden is the best around! Strictly Made In Japan! Other brands that have some MIJs are Sony, Maxell, Fuji ...... go to check the label! or you can buy Verbatim.... another top notch disk but NOT MIJ. Still Verbatim is widely recognized by most burners which also makes them more compatible. If you use better media..... and make sure it's 8x media or lower! Eventually you'll need a newer burner just to keep up with the newer media! good luck.
Thanks for that. I need to ask what are packet writing utilities anyway? I may need them for other things I do but I may be able to remove some if not all depending what they are?
programs like InCD (Nero program), Roxio/Sonic and Blindwrite have packet writing utility programs. Sometimes they interfere with DVD writing. When having problems with Nero or other programs that write to DVDs then it's wise to uninstall these type of programs.
yeah I had Incd on this pc but not running so I have uninstalled it just in case. Thanks I will check out some of those discs...
I was using DVDfab plat also and got the error Task_2 failed! Error=116 I do not have nero , i just bought this hp burner a month ago have burned at least 25 movies to these light scribe disks now all of a sudden I am getting this error on 2 movies in a row that it refuses to write. There's something more then what disks I am using and have no nero utilities installed in any fashion. Don't know why I am getting this error all of a sudden and does not seem to go away.
