I have had a HP DVD640i for atleast 3 weeks and I have not successfully burned a DVD.
Anyways, I have used 3 different burning programs (DVDXCopy, DVDShrink, DVD Decrypter) and I cannot get any of them to work. My DVD burner shares the same cable as my CD writer and I was told this could throw it off. Is this true? Which could be cause my CD writer is a 48x and it now all of a sudden only burns CDs at 40x. Anyways, I got 1 movie to right to the hard drive successfully and then when I went to burn it it froze the computer at about 23%. I just don't know where to start!!!

Did you set the jumper pins on drives, 1 has to master 1 has to be slave.

Ya I am pretty sure that the DVD burner is the Master. Its on the 2nd IDE cable so its Secondary Master.
Still though, I was told the 2 burners sharing the cable could cause them not to function normally. I am getting frustrated trying to figure it out. I figured you could buy a DVD burner, slap it in, and start burning some movies. :-)

Slammed0,
Welcome to the forum. If the computer is freezing then you are having conflicts. D/L a free registry cleaner and see if that helps. Are you using DVDDecrypter first to to rip the movie to HD and then use Shrink to compress? I have my Burner as master and the DVD-Rom as the slave on my secondary IDE Channel so have no idea who told you that but they are wrong. It is OK to have 2 burners on the same cable as long as you have one as the master and one as the slave w/ the pins in the back configured properly.
Make sure all of the cables are seated properly on the inside of the computer and connected properly to the cd and DVD drives. While you are at it verify the drives are 1 master and 1 slave.
When you say freezing does the computer re-boot or turn off or does it just sit there

When it froze on me i was in the middle of the burn and it just straight up froze. Came back and couldn't move the mouse or anything. Just a froze screen.
I have been trying all 3 of the softwares and it doesn't work. I am beginning to wonder if I got a bad burner?????
I just got this from DVDShrink

Sounds like bad media?
What is the brand name/format/and speed rate of your blank discs?
Dvd decrypter should tell you the MID Code of that media.Or you can use this free handy tool:

I've got my dvd-rom as secondary master and benq 1620 set as secondary slave.I've switched them around the opposite and both performed the same.
Look in device manager for yellow exclamation marks. While you are in device manager,look at your primary and secondary IDE-ATA/Atapi channels. Open 1 up at a time/click advanced setting. Notice if they are in DMA or UDMA if available. Make sure they don't say PIO mode. If one or more channel is in PIO mode, un-install driver and re-boot that channel and windows should re-install it. Do the same for any other channel in pio mode.

In DVD Shrink's preferences, take the check mark out of "Burn with Nero". After that, try again.
