Hello,

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere (I'm sure it must have been, but I couldn't find it).

I just bought ICopyDVDs2 and it's working fairly well, but I have some problems.

I was noticing a fair amount of freeze frames and slight skips in the copies I made. I read the FAQ on their site and they suggested turning off all computer activities.

I turned off the screensaver and upped the time that the screen power-down and stand-by mode go into action up to an hour (longer than it takes to read any of the discs I've copied).

I tried making another copy, and it still has its share of stops and pauses (I can't even tell if it's less than before).

I need help knowing what else I need to turn off, and how to go about doing it to be able to avoid the freeze-ups.

Or is there a better copying software out there I should get?

Thanks.

Hi,

Your troubles are the classic sign of low quality media. What brand/type have you been using?

I've no experience with the software you're using but I do know that DVD Shrink is free, easy and does a great job :)

Thanks for responding.

I've been using Memorez DVD-Rs.

Thanks also for the DVD Shrink tip.

Hi,

Memorex buys from various manufacturers so yoy never know what you're getting. You can check the manufacturer ID with this tool:

Memorex -R have been known to be CMC which isn't good stuff at all. Let us know what you find :)

Thanks for your help.

I ended up downloading DVDShrink and bought a copy of Nero, but I'm having trouble making the copied disc.

I DVDShrink to do its job, but when I try to burn the disc (after following the directions on a Nero guide site) the disc goes up to about 7% and then it gets spit out with a burn fail error.

Any suggestions? Hopefully I won't have to eat too many more DVD-Rs to get it working properly.

Thanks,

Chris
