Go to Tool/Drive/Check Firmware update. whoops never mind, ur current firmware is ts02, and it looks like u have the newest firmware. edit- so u dont need to update ur firmware, all u have to do is burn with those verbs and see what happens, post back if u have any problems
No problemo emsdad Nothing left like 300bowler said. Let's burn a Verb and let us know how it goes - good, bad or otherwise! Try 4x 1st (I'm thinking you got 16x Verb's) - if okay than try 8x and see how that does w/ your setup and dvd players. Your TSST drive from what I can tell doesn't support booktyping - so if you're dvd players are somewhat newer they should support both -/+ format. Imgburn is a great burning program - good to keep around - one of the least problematic ones.
Thanks 300. I should use the image burn instead of my dvdcloner3? It also says that I need to disable anydvd when useing imgburn, is this also correct? Thanks again for all your help!!
yes to both questions, ImgBurn is a burning program, not sure about the dvdcloner3 program, if if thats what ImgBurn says to do is turn it off then i would do that because u can always turn it back on when trying to copy a dvd. not really sure as i dont use ANYdvd.
I tried to back-up doom using the imgburn program and could not figure out how to use it. When I downloaded the program there were a few differnt programs, I downloaded the one that said dvd. I went ahead and backed it up using dvdcloner 3 and the verbatims on a movie only and it did fine. Can someone give me some guidance on how to use the imgburn program and did I download the proper program? Thank You!!
Hey emsdad If you give me a few - I'll help you thru imgburn - it's mainly a burning program and will also now build an iso from a video_ts folder. In the mean time fill me in on what other apps besides DVD Cloner(like Nero, DVD Decrypter, AnyDVD etc) you have too. When you went to download ImgBurn you would have picked one of the mirror sites at the top after clicking 'click here to download'- so you may have dl the wrong thing. Here's a driect link: http://download.imgburn.com/SetupImgBurn_2.0.0.0.exe
Binkie, I went to the link you put on your last reply and downloaded it, it was the same thing that I had. The only other programs that I have is dvd cloner 3 and anydvd.
edit well, does this mean u haven't shrunk the movie yet, u cant shrink the movie with ImgBurn, it is only a Burning program. u have to use a program like shrink or nero recode to make the movie fit on a SL(4.7G) disk before u try to burn. here are a whole bunch of guides http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/guides.htm if u r trying to burn a Video_TS folder then do this
@300bowler great guide! @emsdad Since have AnyDVD I would add Shrink (free)- good combo for backing up movies - there are guides in the link 300bowler gave. You could have Shrink create an iso then open imgburn to burn it. Open imgburn (have anydvd off) - mode should be in write then pick the iso, burn speed & burn. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_shrink.cfm Or you can auto burn w/ decrypter. Another free program - by the same guy as imgburn but rips also and can use AnyDVD with - just need to change a few settings if using it to rip. To have it autoburn - open decrypter then mode>iso>write. Pick the drive under destination and set the burn speed. Close. Then in Shrink after you click 'backup' under 'select target device' pick 'iso image w/ dvd decrypter'. http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/ These programs we listed are pretty problem free. All free too but AnyDVD. Good to here you had a successful backup too!
Thanks Guys!! I will give it a try and get back to you. Thanks again and this whole thing is starting to make a little sense, still have alot to learn. I wish this was like working on a small block chevy.........that I could do.
lol - no chevy but trouble shooting so kinda the same (cause & effect bit) Can seem like a lot at 1st but no worries you'll be doing fine in no time.
Thanks Binkie, means a lot coming from an AD addict i wasn't sure if emsdad already had the folder ready to burn thought emsdad was trying to compress with this program
@300bowler Yeah I thought the same thing. I think I may end up using ImgBurn more now w/ this new option than programs I paid for You're welcome too - it's great to see members taking the time to do the screen prints and guides to help others. Good work!
Well Binkie and 300 I ripped it with shrink and backed it up with the imgburn and it worked. I do have 2 questions: On one of them it had the compression rate with like a slide bar. What exactly is that and do I leave it or move it? The other is when imgburn gets to 100% it ejects the dvd and then pulls the tray back in and resumes, why? The first one I did I caught it and took out the movie with no problems, the second time I let it run thru again and I got the same results. I noticed on the imgburn program there are some check boxes and one says eject, should I check that?
to get a better picture u want the slider more to the right, so the higher the Compression # the better. LESS compression=better pic quality. here some pics too help edit for the second ques. not sure but uncheck these and see what happens
I have noticed that on the movies that I have done have had between 65-80%. I have not messed with it and the pic. quality is great. I think I finally have something that works.......the media I believe also made a BIG difference. Once again Thank You Tremendously!!
yeah between that is good, just saying that the less compression u do the better the picture is going to be. glad u got it all working, happy burning.
@emsdad I usually keep mine in the 70 - 80% range - playing on a 37" looks good to me Yep media can make all the difference. The tray opening and closing after the burn in ImgBurn happens when you have the verify option checked. The verify options matches the data on the disc to the file(s) you burned You can uncheck that opinion if you like. I rarely verify mine - rely on playback mainly. Glad to hear you are happily burning!!
