I will try to make this as brief as possible but I have a fair amount of questions hopefully someone can help me out with...
I recently bought a Memorex 8x =/- Dual Format Internal burner at Best Buy a few days ago, mainly for data storage because i didn't feel like burning 40 gigs onto CDRS. I installed it where my old dvd rom was and made the jumper setting the same. It burns data fine, but I do come across errors when I try burning video projects...
I am planning on buying the full version of Nero the next time I can wake up early enough to go out before work, but when I use the Nero Express suite which came packaged with my burner, I can't seem to burn any kind of video projects. I don't think it is the media, because I get the same errors when I try burning to my hard drive first. Whenever I try burning a collection of mpegs, it goes well for like 20-25% of the job then I get errors while transcoding, any ideas?
Also, I tried backing up a copy of Bruce Almighty, following the steps in the guide section with Shrink DVD, and all goes well for about 20-30% then I either get a vague error message or my computer restarts. I have 30 gigs free space so it can't be space, so I have no idea. Are some DVD's copy-proof or is maybe my drive not installed properly? I have a P3 933mhz with 128 ram, it runs really smooth but could that be a problem? The whole thing is more annoying than anything, I got the drive mostly for data backup but would like to be able to use it for other things occasionally.
Finally, I work in graphic design and for our full processed color publications we have to make sure our color pics are in CMYK format as opposed to RGB, but the pics I tried to make a dvd slide show from I converted to RGB, would that make any difference? I assume not, considering most people who would be using this feature probably wouldn't have their color pictures in CMYK format.
I apologize for the rambling nature of this post (it is late), I really don't like to think I am this stupid on a PC but any help to any of my issues will be appreciated. Thanks!
