when i go to copy dvds i go through the whole process with dvd shrink and then back to dvd decryptor, everything works fine but when it goes to burn the dvd for the final task it comes up with an error when tryig to lock volume access rights:
DeviceIoControl(FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME)Failed!
Device:[1:0:0]ATAPI DVD DP 2x16x4x16 G7C9 (e:)(ATP)
Unable to lock volume for exclusive access.
Reason: Access is denied
what are you trying to do? is it that you want to back up your protected DVDs? If you bought some DVDs movies and musics, those DVDs had the protection, you can't back those up, i had a lot of DVDs, and they scatched a lot, so now when i buy the new DVDs, i would back them up, what i did was i used the DVD decrytper, it works really good, i tried the DVD Shrink before, but it not that good, if you are interested in it, reply here and tell me so,,, then i will post up the direction and what software you can use to back up those DVDs. happy new year
This is most commonly caused by packet writing apps such as InCD, DLA or Drag to Disc. Part of the way they work is to keep constant access to the drive so when another burning app needs to gain exclusive access to the drive it can't and the write process will be aborted. If you have any packet writing apps, uninstall them and see if that clears up your problem.
If that doesn't work it could also be Windows built in IMAPI burning service which also likes to keep access to the drive. It's a useless app to begin with and even more so when you have dedicated burning software installed.
IMAPI can be disabled by following these steps:
Start >
Control Panel >
Administrative Tools >
Services >
Now scroll down to IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service and double click it.
In the Properties window under the General tab look for the Startup Type drop down menu and select Disabled. Click OK and you're good to go.
If, and only if, the steps above don't work you can set Decrypter to where it doesn't need to lock the drive by doing the following:
Tools > Settings > ISO Write Mode > then uncheck "Lock Volume - Exclusive Access".
By using this method you're possibly leaving yourself open to failed burns if another app interrupts the burn process.
