Good day, I have used DVD Shrink/Nero for years and they've been great to me. I have run into an error while trying to burn the last disc of season 2 of The Wire. I ripped all 5 discs to my hard drive using Shrink. I open Shrink and click on Open Files. I select the folder that contains the 27 video/ts files. It goes through that process just fine and then it goes to burn and I get this error log: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'D:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 12:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero API version: 6.6.1.4 Using interface version: 6.3.1.4 Installed in: D:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\ Application: ahead\Nero - Burning Rom Internal Version: 6, 6, 1, 4d Recorder: <PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108> Version: 1.20 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2000kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ? === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : WDC WD1600JB-00GVA0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : WDC WD800JB-00CRA1 atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108 atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : LITE-ON LTR-52246S atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108 E: CDRom0 LITE-ON LTR-52246S F: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 511MB (523760kB) Free physical memory: 146MB (150324kB) Memory in use : 71 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 16.3.2006 NeroAPI 9:47:13 AM #1 Phase 112 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 275 DVD-Video files reallocation started 9:47:13 AM #2 Phase 114 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 275 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 9:47:13 AM #3 Phase 111 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 275 DVD-Video files sorted 9:47:13 AM #4 NEROAPI 7 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3095 Error:\nCannot connect TRF. 9:47:13 AM #5 Text 0 File AudioCompilationImpl.cpp, Line 867 DRM: DRM burn session terminated. 9:47:13 AM #6 Text 0 File AudioCompilationImpl.cpp, Line 896 DRM: Closing entire DRM handling.

Hi tuneman62, Here: ******************************************************** 9:47:13 AM #4 NEROAPI 7 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3095 Error:\nCannot connect TRF. ******************************************************** This error has been associated with nero's latest version 6.6.1.4, this version will not function when used with DVDshrink. Write down your nero serial# and then uninstall version 6.6.1.4 from your system using the general cleantool found here: http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/enu/General_CleanTool.html Next, download and install version 6.6.0.18 from the links provided, re-enter the serial# and you're good to go. nero 6.6.0.18 updates: Package 1 http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2 http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe
Wow I would have never thought! That is so good to know. I guess it's the old saying if it ain't broken don't fix it!! Damn grr I shoulda known. I thought it's good to have the latest updates for EVERYTHING on your computer. Guess not eh??
Updates are meant to fix/correct problems, but sometimes in the process they can also create new ones. I don't think this issue will be fixed (just my feeling on it??), it looks like they have moved on with nero7. You can still use nero6 version 6.6.1.4 if you choose, you just can't use it to autoburn with shrink, you'll have to manually burn your video files to disk. Here's a guide or two if you're interested: http://www.dvd-guides.com/content/view/40/59/ or http://www.dvdrdigest.com/articles/article_nero_dvd_burning_page1.html
How do you know all of this man? Years of experience I suppose. I was looking at buying a book that could help me out with video/music encoding,burning,editing etc... Do you know of any good titles?
Years of experience, plus degrees in electrical engineering and software design help to. There's still much I don't know, so I'm still learning to. Sorry, can't help with the books. You could try a local book store or read the posts here as much as possible, you'll be surprised at what you can picup/learn.
