I have just bought my first dvd burner (sony dru 500A) I am trying to back up dvds to play in my standalone dvd player. I use DVD decrypter. I am able to copy an .iso to the harddrive. When I burned it on a DVD+R disc it would not play in my dvd player. So i burned a DVD-r disc it gets an I/O error about halfway through the burn. I am able to plays these discs on my DVD player, but only thge first half. I tried 2 different brands (Memorex, Digital Media) same problem. The I/O error says that unable to write to disc. section XXXX-XXXX. Any advice would be appriciated Jack
Try reading some guides first. Then when u have read all of them and have been trying for about a week come here again and ask what should u do !!!!!!!!!!!! I am working on it two weeks and I have just made my second DVD backup !!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck !!!!!!
Sounds like bad media or a bad drive take back the media and try again with another brand. If it still doesn't work return the drive and get a better drive like Pioneer
I have just formatted and put a clean install of Win200 pro, I was running WinME. I think that this should solve the problem. So far I am one for one, I will repost if it definatly solved problem Thanks for advice Jack

HHHHHHHHHELP! Jack
Hey there, You might want to get an account over at www.dvddecryptor.com forum and send him that log sheet and he could see what might be the problem DVD Decryptor is having with that burner. I am a newbie to this two but if you take the time at like www.vcdhelp.com, www.doom9.org, and the above website you might fix your problem. Here is what I do to get everything ready up to the point of burning back to DVD-R. 1.) Open DVD Decryptor in file mode. 2.) Select the VIDEO_TS.IFO and VIDEO_TS.BUP along with the VTS_XX_0.BUP, VTS_XX_0.IFO of the largest VOB files and the actual VOB files that follow the two VTS_XX_0.BUP and VTS_XX_0.IFO files. 3.)Rip away Know you need IFOedit or something like it to trim the newly ripped folder down to get the movie under 4.3GB. Then I think on www.vcdhelp.com look or search for a guide there by enemywithin really good with step by step instructions and pics. If the file is still larger than 4.3 after gettig rid of all the extra stuff then you have to re-encode it to make fit and there you need ReMPEG or something similiar-- www.doom9.org had a good instructions on using ReMPEG. After that you put it back through IFOEdit and you can follow some more doom9.org's guide I think it is DVD 9 -> DVD 5. If there is a button that you can email just put in the comment line DVD 9 -> DVD 5 and I will send you what I have. Hope this helps some, Later Dave
I have had many problems with using DVD Decrypter on DVD-9. So i would say the best is to use the SmartRipper if you have a problem with DVD Decrypter. Hope this helps out
I'm having the same problems. Burns great to DVD+R but get I/O error whenever burning to DVD-R. New firmware v1.0d is due out in December...I hope it fixed something.
