Doesn't anyone use the guides before posting "how-to" questions?

Hey Pete,
Thanks so much for your help. One thing I'm noticing though, and I can hardly believe it myself, is that I do not have "Nero Classic", and that upsets me. The Nero I have installed came with the DVD drive I'm having problems with, and after searching through all the folders in the "Ahead" directory, all I can come up with is Nero Express. I'm worried that if I install the newest version of Nero (where I get it shall remain unnamed), my drives won't be compatible. I tried installing a newer version of Nero when I had only my Memorex CD Burner, and it wouldn't let me burn a CD. It wouldn't recognize the drive. Got any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Your time means a lot.

1984rocks,
In order to get it correct - you have to do a "Clean" uninstall to rid your system of all the files THEN reinstall it ~
This will help you do a "Clean" uninstall.
You must use all of Nero's Clean tools in order to do the job correctly.
They can all be found here:
http://www.nero.com/us/631940828445001.htm
General Clean tool
Registry cleaner and driver cleaner
InCD Clean tool
When you reinstall Nero 6 DO NOT install InCD OR if you do, turn it off in msconfig (better to not install it) it can and does cause problems with other proggys.
Load Nero up from here:
http://www.ahead.de/us/nero6-ultraedition.php
When installing and uninstalling programs it's a good practice to complete the operation with a PC reboot. It only takes a minute, help it can, hurt it won't.
Whenever you're uninstalling a program, it's a good practice to reboot your PC (even if it's not called for) to help "Flush" the program out. By the same token, when you install a program, it's a good practice to reboot your PC (even though it doesn't call for it) to help the "New" guy "Settle" it in.
Now that we've done that (I know it's a "Pain" but when it's done correctly the first time and all the steps are followed then we don't have problems AND we don't have to do it all over again.
IF YOU DO ALL OF THE STEPS (and didn't skip just one step that "couldn't possibly" make a bit of difference) THEN, WE SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO - YIPPIEEE ! !
Now let's see how we do ~ Do a run through and report back with your results ~
We'll be waiting ~
Pete

Hey Pete,
I followed your instructions to the T. I installed the newest version of Nero WITHOUT installing InCD. So far, out of 4 DVD's, only 1 has completed sucessfully. I'm about to throw this computer out of my 2nd story window. Help me Scuba Pete, you're my only hope.
Here's the latest error log:

Sorry but there is no proggy than can put a DVD-r size of "Gigs" on a CD. In case you didn't know., a standard DVD holds approx 4.36GB of information and you're never going to get that on a 700MB CD disc, it's not going to happen ! At one time, I experimented with a small movie, Bruce Almighty (severely trimmed to about 3GB). I ran it through DVD Shrink (in maximum compression after using all error correcting settings) about 6 or 7 times and was able to get it to about 900MB but that was it.
I suggest try a proggy called SuperDVDRipper (it is a 1-click proggy :) to take your compressed, quality enhanced VOB files from DVD Shrink to a SVCD, VCD or AVI then burn that to your CD. Nero has a "Mini-DVD" format that you can burn to CD and have a very good movie copy over 2 CD's. Also look into DVDToAVI as another proggy to do the same job.

To correct your extremely low available resources, Go to, msconfig ~ Startup tab ~ Disable all, ~ Apply ~ OK ~ OK again to reboot your PC. THEN try to backup a DVD with some resources to work with. ALSO, if no one ever mentioned it to you ~ Allow your PC to work with out you in the same room. Encoding and burning Video files is extremely resources intensive.

Iso document burn settings
I gave you a guide to use a VIDEO_TS format, NOT an ISO.
Let's try to burn VOB files and not ISO's. Remember to take all of your IFO, BUP and VOB files and have them in a folder named VIDEO_TS (written like that as it's case sensitive.). Though an ISO Image is as exact as one could wish, again, it is labor intensive and we're going to go a bit easier on your system until we can get you up and running.
Since you're not using the guide I typed for you, what guide are you using and what settings have you been using for Target DVD size ?

Again Chad, you're writing too fast, that alone would account for disc failures. DO NOT WRITE AT 8X, WRITE at 4X. We discussed this, you need to do it.
IMPORTANT: Remind me again, what brand media are you using ?
I addressed the importance of using the correct media and according to your log, your burner doesn't much like what you're using. Again, What media are you burning too ?

Your only solution is to buy a Dvd burner. You can buy them for 60.00-100.00 or so. If needed you can get an external enclosure and put the internal burner in that and hook it up thru your USB or Firewire ports.
As far as brands, I'm a Plextor man, LiteOn and Pioneer also make good burners.

I use DVD Decrypter to rip my movies to my Hard Drive. Next I use DVD Shrink to shrink to size before I use Decrypter again to burn to blank media. My question is this:
After using Decrypter to burn, is there any reason to do a deep analysis with Shrink or is this redundant? The reason I ask is because after ripping with Decrypter I have been doing a deep analysis and then max smoothness. I hope this makes sense. Thanks to anyone who responds.

Redundant - Exceeding what is needed or normal
No, I personally don't think so. I want and need a quality backup. Why bother having something second-class when something much closer to the original is easily obtainable. Deep Analysis encodes your video in 2 passes instead of 1, to achieve a superior end result and the quality enhancements (Maximum Smoothness or Maximum Sharpness) slows down recoding, and adjusts it so that again, you have the best copy possible. As a matter of fact, using the quality settings in DVD Shrink allows you to achieve a much higher quality copy than many of the $$$$ programs on the market today. Quality always takes time, so, the choice is yours.

@ TMO,
Hey there good guy, I'm glad you've got it right, It's what we're here for BUT let's not think about saying "Goodbye" just yet -
We'd still like you to stop by and visit even when you don't have problems you need help with - "Pop" in when you can and cruise around the different forums. You never know when we might have something that can make your computer work a little easier. You might pickup some valuable tips to boot. Checkout the "Safety Valve", it's a place where we "Chew the fat" on just about every topic under the sun. Heck, check out our forums on CD's, PS2's, X-box or Gamecube topics, Digital Camcorders, Photography, Home Theater components ? it's all there.
As an extra added bonus, when you see another person with a problem and you feel you might know something that could help, join in. As the Ogre said to the Cyclops, " Three heads are better than two." (Lol) You'll then see how much fun we have helping others. As a current member of our little club you can welcome the new guys in ~
We'll look forward to seeing you. "Me ?" You'll find me hangin' out over there by the water cooler, sittin' under the potted palm with my feet propped up, sipping on a "cold one", waiting for the next "Newbie" with a problem that I can help them with - maybe you'd like to join me . . . ?
I'll be lQQkin for you ~ ~>
As the old underwater saying goes,
"I'll be Sea'n you ~ ~"
Pete ;p)

having looked at the "guides" as being in a "newbie chat forum" it still didn't answer my question. I have downloaded the software and it is asking for an IP address, and port number to continue with activation. Where is this found?
Obviously DVDx went out of business because the toll free number directed to me a sex line number...so here I am in need of alittle help from anyone. Will I also have to change this number frequently or every time I use the DVDx service?
Any info is great

Being that a top quality brand new BenQ can be had for $60 I wouldn't give more than $20 for a quality year old burner.

You just a "Money" man Neph -
I might go for $20.00 with some backup software tossed in and a money back guanantee if it didn't work and, I would NEVER get it from eBay. I want to reach and touch the person that sold it to me
As an after thought, you said it was a DVD-R burner. A DVD-R burner would be a low-end burner. Something like BenQ, Pioneer or Plextor would be a, -R, RW and +R, RW and at least 8X. Anything else, someone isn't telling the whole truth.
Remember: "A fool and his money are soon parted."
Sad but true, ask to sea the sales slip AND get everything in writing, EVEN for $10.00 or you'll qualify as that guy who was "parted" from his money.
I would opt for putting my money aside and saving until I could get a top-of-the-line burner with a 1yr warantee from the Mfgr and then I'd be sure I wasn't screwed.
Cheers,
