• DVD appears to have burned but...
Question by Cherylynn, Saturday 16th of August 2008 18:10
ARGH!! I was just burning right along and all of a sudden it didn't want to do it anymore. It acts like it is copying the dvd and then when I put in a blank disc it eithers completely go through the whole motion as if it is copying it OR a lovely little box comes up and said that DVD BURN FAILED. When it does seem to go all the way through there isn't anything on the disc. I have trying playing the dvd on my pc and another dvd player to no avail. It would say the 'ol process completed successfully but nothing on the dvd. I have rebooted, defrag, cleaned up trash, etc. I have been using Maxell 16x blank media. I have used other brands such as Memorex, etc and I have always have had some funky problem with every single type of media at one time or another. Me so frustrasted!

Welcome to the forums Cherylynn

Which program are you using for burning? Can you post a log file of the failed burn? Are you trying to burn at max speed? If so, slow it down to 8x.

Are you trying to copy a commercial dvd?

I had this problem and found that before I tried to burn the dvd, if I went to:
Start, run, type in Msconfig, and on the System Configuration Utility, change from Normal Startup to Diagnostic Startup. Then restart the computer.

This will then startup without the antivirus, firewall, etc. only the bare necessities, so DON'T go on the web until you do the same procedure, but restart in the Normal mode.

I found I could finally burn a DVD with this method.

• Does this sound like I've been copy protected?
Question by derelyth, Saturday 19th of July 2008 13:25
Hi all,

I am in the process of trying to rip some albums to MP3 to brun them all to one MP3 disc for my Mum's car. The disc in question is:

Katie Melua - Call Off The Search

Without thinking about the copy protection chances, I insterted the disc into my PC. No autorun came up, just a spin and clunk, spin clunk, spin clunk from the drive. I'll admit I did forget to check to see if autorun was disabled etc, but I was sure it was as most discs do't auto play in this drive. I tried another CD in the drive and it opened and read the files fine without issue. I then tried the CD in my laptop and it read files fine. I then used TweakUI to disable Autorun and rebooted. I then inserted the music CD and opened Windows Media Player and to my surprise the CD read and ripped without issue.

Does this sound like my PC now has crap installed on it? If so, is there a way to remove it? The label is Dramatico Records.

Thanks,

D
