no ... If you have two ide channels you'll have
Primary master, Primary slave
Secondary master, secondary slave.

nascards,
Sorry about being so late - Next time just PM me with your thread's address and I'll stop by a bit quicker ~
What "issues" are you having "Burn-wise" ?
Lay it on me and we'll see if we can straighten it out . . .

thanks alot pete much appreiciated. I was recieving I/o errors galore.don't really know waht the issue is but I uninstalled both shrink and decrypter then reinstalled and set decrypter to your settings and I did get a sucessful burn {spiderman 2}brandnew movie just bought.I watched it last night seems to chop in spots {blocks} blanks out totally in another scene then resumes play.I am guessing the only reason I got a good burn was because in decrypter In settings under I/O tab I have ignore read errors ticked.and just for your information this is a new system about 3 months old this is the reason I was concerned with the channel issue.Just kinda shootin at anything right now.I did save a decrypter log file{failed burn} if you would like to see it let me know.

Dont mean to be rude but I will be.
Your set up seems nice enough. Two DVD drives, AMD 64, You have a clue about ide channels and which is burning on which.
You sure your not a spy from Sony or some other place?
And two hours looking for Decryptor Guides? If you DL decryptor from here the guide link would have been right below it.

@ nanu-nanu,
Quote:

Actually you won't be rude AND be permitted to hang around here for long -
Straighten up and behave, your attitude isn't needed here - be nice OR be gone . . .
nascards,
We're fine - Trust me, if you were out of line I'd be the very first to point it out just as I'm letting that twrip know we don't need an attitude. At least not while I'm around, I've got enough "attitude" for a whole forum . . .
NOW, back to us -
DVDD didn't cause the bad play UNLESS you were trying to burn at 8X or higher. This is a problem coming from somewhere else -
Let's start with your basics, OK ?
There are some things we should check as they have a direct influence over how our drive behaves -
Physically, Your burner s/b set as "master" on your IDE cable and the IDE cable s/b an 80-pin cable not a 40-pin. Always double-check your burner's jumpers to make sure they are correctly set for master, not slave if you installed the burner yourself.
1. Let's check for up-to-date Firmware for your burner.
"OK, so what is this "Firmware" garbage?" Fair question. Firmware is a "tutor" who's job it is to eliminate any "bugs" found in your drive and to "introduce" your burner to all the different kinds of media to your burner is likely to run into and to tell your burner a little bit about it. What type of media it is and at what speed to burn it. As new media is introduced OR, as the Mfgrs of your burner find new ways to use it, new firmware updates OR "Flash upgrades" come out to "school" your burner, keeping it up-to-date. It's good to keep your burner up-to-date as it "tweaks" your burner and keeps it operating at peak performance.
Of major Importance - When dealing firmware, you must match your burner's exact model with the proper Firmware. Trying to "Flash" your burner with something "Close" won't do it. It must be the exact firmware for your drive. ("Flashing" is what the installation is referred to when you put the firmware into your drive.) Trying to "Flash" your drive with some other drive's firmware can ruin your drive.
At the bottom of the page look for "What's my firmware? - Try this little tool I found," Download this tool and check out your Firmware's health (up-to-date wise). You can probably get a current upgrade there also -
http://flashman.rpc-1.com/
Firmware page -
http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_all.php
Always check your burner's Mfgr's "Support" section to see if some newer Firmware is there -
Firmware, You can't burn without it -
Now we need to see if we have a working ASPI Layer.
"Yea right, and ASPI stands for Another Stupid Piece of Insanity, right ?" No, not quite, it stands for "Advanced SCSI Programming Interface". "Well that tells me nothing, what's it do ?" That's a much easier question to answer. It is kind of a "translator" allowing your software to talk your hardware in a manner that your hardware will understand. Let's imagine an Earthman trying to talk to a rock. Now, think of a sledgehammer as being the interface. With the interface in play, the Earthman can tell the rock to disperse into gravel no matter what planet the rock is from, OK ? Good, let's see if we have a sledgehammer -
2. Check for your ASPI Layer. If one isn't present, we'll need to get one and reinstall it, then reboot our PC to allow it to "settle in".
ASPI Checker -
http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driverdetail.jsp?cat=%2fProduct%2fEZ-SCSI_5.0&filekey=aspichk.exe&sess=no
Force 1.8 ASPI Layer -
http://forceaspi18.w.interia.pl/
Finally, we need to check your DMA. "Ooohh, no you're not ! Only my husband or my Doctor checks my "D", "M" . . whatever . . ." No, no, it's OK, DMA stands for "Direct Memory Access" transfer mode OR as we say in the computer field, it's a really, fast way to move stuff. Many PC's today are using UDMA or "Ultra Direct Memory Access transfer mode, or as we like to call it, a really super-duper fast way to move stuff as opposed to the PIO mode. The PIO or Programmed I/O mode, is a technique whereby the system CPU and support hardware directly control the transfer of data between the system and the hard disk since shortly after the beginning of PC's up until the mid-1990's. So we want DMA (fast) more than we PIO (slow).
3. Let's check your Drive's transfer mode. It should be DMA-4, not PIO.
Windows XP downgrades the Ultra DMA transfer mode after receiving six CRC errors and drops it down to the much slower PIO mode.
To enable DMA mode using the Device Manager
1. Go to "My Computer, ""System Tools," "View System Information," then System Properties, "Hardware," Then Open Device Manager
2. Double-click IDE ATA//ATAPI Controllers to display the list of controllers and channels.
3. Right-click the icon for the channel to which your burner is connected and select Properties. Now click the Advanced Settings tab.
4. In the Current Transfer Mode drop-down box, select DMA if available if the current setting says, "PIO Only."
If the drop-down box already says, "DMA if Available" but the current transfer mode is PIO, then the user must "toggle" the settings. That is, change the selection from "DMA if available" to PIO only, and click "OK".
Then repeat the steps above to change the selection to "DMA if available".
OPTION: Right-click the burner and select "Uninstall" and then "OK" all prompts until the PC reboots. Upon rebooting, the PC should "find" your burner and reinstall it setting it by "Default" to DMA.
Lastly, when did you last defrag your Hard Drive (HD) ? If you have to stop and think about the last time you did it, then it's way, way overdue. Here we go, (Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter. When it opens, choose your HD, analyses it to see where we stand then if you need it (you probably will) choose Defragment.).
After you finish doing it now you might want to think about having "Scheduled Tasks" in your Control Panel do it for you on a daily basis.
A fragmented HD not only drastically slows down your system but it can cause all number of things to happen inside your PC, a messed up burn being one of them.
Once we've done that, our DVD burner should operate at peak efficiency :D)
Cheers,
Pete
Now let's see if everything will work together the way we want it to, OK ?
Give it a test run and let us know how you make out -

Other than the first part of the post ... nanu-nanu's post wasn't rude at all.

No I don't.
Others have been more rude in their posts. Myself included at times, and Pete you've had your moments. It's an open forum ... just as long as they are not grossly breaking the rules, let them be. Also ... there is a difference when some one is being rude and being stupid.
Quote:

IMO ... a stupid comment. Big deal if nascards was a spy. What would that matter?
Quote:

As for this ... another stupid comment. If nanu-nanu would have actually read nascards original post, he would understand that nascards was looking for you DVD Decrypter guide (ScubaPete's DVD Decrypter guide).
ie. thread title: message for scuba pete
beginning of the post: I need your guide for backing up a dvd movie using DVD Shrink & DVD Decrypter.
@nascards,
Some people can get away with two burners on the same IDE channel ... some cannot. I notice you have a sata HD. Question: Are your burners on the same IDE channel?

That's not true ... at least if you have XP. I've never had to open a command prompt.
Just unzip, click killaspi then click instaspi, reboot and run aspi check.

nascards,
I don't know why you're having trouble - -
Use KillASPI first to get rid of all other ASPI's, corrupted and otherwise THEN use Force ASPI OR this Adaptec ASPI v4.71.2 -
http://cd-rw.org/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/aspi.cfm
Me, I'd use the Force ASPI.
You need an ASPI layer unless you are using Nero (it has it's own ASPI layer).
Cheers,
Pete

Installing Adapted ASPI v4.71.2
1)Click Start, then Run
2)Click Browse, then choose Local Disk
3)Click Adaptec, then ASPI
4)Click Install, then Open
Will look as follows:
C:adaptecaspiinstall.bat
5)Now type xp32 at the end. Make sure you space after .bat
C:adaptecaspiinstall.bat xp32
6)Click Ok, reboot. Now run aspichk. Should look as follows:
ASPI32.SYS 4.71.2
WOWPOST.EXE Not Installed
WINASPI.DLL Not Installed
WNASPI32.DLL 4.71.2
