Hi, all. I'm extremely frustrated because I very much want to use Nero Recode 2 to select movie components to write to DVD (removing trailers and such). However, this is what happens EVERY time: (1) Launch Recode 2 (via Nero SmartStart) (2) Select "Recode an Entire DVD to DVD" (3) Select "Import DVD" (files are on HD and are perfectly valid and playable) (4) Wait a few moments doing nothing (or try to open one of the items in the "Contents" window)... (5) Nero *HANGS* completely! Windows Task Manager says: "Nero Recode -- Not Responding" I've done everything I can think of: (a) Run THREE antivirus engines: Avira Classic and G Data Antivirus (which combines Kaspersky and Bitdefender engines and is EXTREMELY thorough -- to the point of frustration with its resource consumption) (b) Run THREE anti-spyware/anti-malware utilities: Zone Alarm Pro, Spybot S&D, and the ultra-anti-malware tool a-squared (which is constantly running on guard in the background). (c) Run TWO registry fixers: Registrar and Registry Fix It. Nothing makes ANY difference! What is going on? Or at least can anyone give me any ideas of what else to check? Here's my system info: Motherboard: Abit IS7 -- Socket 478 Processor: Intel Pentium 4(c) CPU 3.2GHz (Northwood), dual threaded Chipset: Intel i865-ICH5 chipset (Intel 865/848 Springdale) Storage Controllers: Intel(R) 82801EB/ER Ultra ATA (x2) Total Memory: 1GB Micron/Crucial DDR-SDRAM Video Adapter : RADEON 9200 Series Audio: Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1 Hard Disk : WDC WD3200JD-22KLB0 Hard Disk : WDC WD740GD-00FLC0 Hard Disk : WD External HDD Device IEEE 1394 SBP2 Device CD/DVD : LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1H FW: LL06 (CD 48X Rd/Wr) (DVD 6X Rd/Wr) CD/DVD : _NEC DVD_RW ND-2510A FW: 2.19 (CD 40X Rd, 32X Wr) (DVD 5X Rd, 4X Wr) Operating System(s) Windows System : Microsoft Windows XP/2002 Professional 5.01.2600 (Service Pack 2) Nero Version 7.7.5.1 Nero Recode Version: 2.4.5.0
Since it's release I have seen a number of members experiencing problems of sorts with this version 7.7.5.1. I would recommend you uninstall it, run this clean tool, http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero7_CleanTool.html and revert to the previous version, I like 7.5.9.0 available from here http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?1881 I cannot comment on the next version 7.5.9.0a as I have not used it, good luck.
Thank you for your reply! But I had this exact same problem with 7.5.9.0 and 7.5.9.0a, too. That's why I updated to 7.7.5.1 (i.e., in hopes of solving this problem). Any other ideas?
