Well bryank I went back and re-read the entire thread -
The following have been suggested with no mentioned from you that you did them or what happened when you did them.
1. A firmware upgrade. Where did you get it ? what # was it ?
2. Uninstalling your drive.
3. Changing your interface in DVD Decrypter.
4. Do you have any InCD components on your system ?
NEW QUESTIONS:
1. What OS do you have ?
2. Do you have any Roxio components on your system ?
Quote:
Of course, now that the movie is downloaded to my hard drive, Smart(sic)ripper is non-reponsive when i attempt to click on the "ok" button to finish.
For what purpose were you using SmartRipper ?
We need the answers to these questions -
Pete

ok. i have not made a firmware upgrade because i thought it was an "or" situation with upgrading the media. i chose to get the ritek discs instead of the firmware upgrade (i was hesitant with this because of all the warning notations about downloading these upgrades).
i did not previously change the interface in DVD Decrypter. i left it on "spti - xp" because that appeared to be the one with direct "xp" notation (my os is xp home ed.). should i try the setting of "aspi"?
i did uninstall my dvd drive.
i do not have incd or roxio components on my computer. however, i do have intervideo windvd creator 2 on my system.

Bryank,
OK, now -
1. You need to get a firmware upgrade. It is to correct faults they have found since they put the drive out AND to allow your burner to recognize more DVD discs, perhaps some that were not made when your burner was produced. It?s not an either or choice -
Having no idea what burner you have you?ll have to find it yourself - Caution: Use only the firmware for your burner. Using another burner?s firmware will fry your drive.
http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_all.php
2. Leave the setting on DVD Decrypter alone it?s the correct one.
3. For your Intervideo Windvd Creator 2, go to msconfig and ?un-tick? it. There?s no reason it needs to startup when you boot your PC up. Remember to reboot after your done with the startup folder.
4. SmartRipper isn?t a good choice to rip and burn DVDs. You?re better off using DVD Shrink to rip and compress (another thing SmartRipper cannot do and the vast majority of your DVD?s will require) then use either DVD Decrypter or Nero to burn ?Automatically? to disc.
Let?s get you started with that and your burning days aren?t that far off :P)
Off ya go now and let me know how you make out -
Pete

Thanks for the response Pete. I checked the firmware link you noted and also went to the pioneer website (i have a pioneer dvr-k12d). i ran a scan through the website and it stated that my dvd drive is the latest version and has no updates or new firmware available. from your perspective, how does this affect things?
i've kept my DVD Decrypter settings the same as you mentioned. i've uninstalled intervideo windvd creator as i really have no use for it at this time. lastly, i used SmartRipper in the beginning but am not attempting to use it anymore - i've been sticking with DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink as you've recommended.
thoughts now that it looks like firmware upgrade is not available?

Alright, I?ve re-read the thread and I see that at one point you were able to burn the files on your HD to disc it was just that the movie started to ?Freeze ½ of the way through - is that accurate ?
It seems that is the only thing the drive has ever done -
I say this because I?m wondering is the drive was installed correctly.
Is that your only drive?
Is it set on Master ?
Have you played DVD?s on it ?
Burned CD?s on it ?
We?re going to go back to the beginning -
My guides are perfect, your media is right, there?s no reason why you shouldn?t be burning like a ?Bad Boy? !
Let?s go over my questions and see where we are -
?P?

well pete, i have succeeded in burning a few dvd's. i still receive the same "locking volume control" error message i previously mentioned, but found that if i restart my computer i can burn the dvd without the error message appearing. weird. with regard to my dvd that froze halfway through the movie, it still does. actually, the copy and original won't play anymore. i even rented the same dvd movie and had the same problem with that one. the only difference i can see is that an Flash Macromedia 5 icon appears at my lower toolbar upon loading the discs. when i right click on it, it does not give me the option of closing it. now with regard to your questions, i have only one drive, have not burned any cd's, and have watched numerous dvd's successfully (with the exception of the previously noted one). i'm not sure about a "master" setting. any thoughts on this one dvd (a newer release) not playing suddenly? the needing to restart to actually burn without error messages?

I skimmed this thread and one thing that pops into mind may be a bad or outdated ASPI install. A bad ASPI is the root of much evil!
bryank, ASPI is the interface between your drives and the rest of your system which means it's a very important part of the burning equation.
ForceASPI 1.7 will install ver. 4.60 on your system and is generally regarded as the most stable and compatible version. Here's what to do:
Download and extract ForceASPI 1.7.
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/frcaspi.cfm
Once you've extracted it, there should be a batch file in there named KILLASPI. Run it then reboot. This will wipe your existing ASPI entirely.
Now go to the same folder and find INSTASPI. Run that then reboot. This will install ver. 4.60.
Now you can use ASPICHK to verify the install. All four entries should read ver. 4.60.
http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driverdetail.jsp?cat=%2fProduct%2fEZ-SCSI_5.0&filekey=aspichk.exe&sess=no
Hopefully this will help :)

i successfully intalled the aspi 1.7 as you instructed. i'm still getting the "volume lock" error message, but more importantly, i'm now getting an "I/O error" message about 20 seconds into the burning. A second error message also states "failed to reserve track. no more track reservations allowed". i'm not worried about the volume lock error so much (since the dvd's seem to turn out okay as i mentioned in my previous reply), but any ideas regarding the I/O error? think i should reinstall the aspi 1.8 (which i had previously) instead of the aspi 1.7?

thanks fasfrank for passing along that forum thread. the new problem i have with the "I/O error. Failed to reserve track" is my greateest concern because each time i make changes to fix the problem i end up wasting a dvd-r (because the error message comes up about a half minute into the burn). i've tried reinstalling the ForceASPI 1.8 i had been using previously, but now i cannot get it to install properly:
ASPI32.SYS 4.71.2
WOWPOST.EXE NOT INSTALLED
WINASPI.DLL NOT INSTALLED
WNASPI32.DLL 4.71.2
Again, this I/O error first occured once i installed ForceASPI 1.7 (version 4.6). ideas?

i've now tried burning after installing both the older and newer aspi versions. after many attempts i was finally able to burn one dvd successfully, but again received an I/O error message when attempting a second dvd burn. it states (along with tons of miscellaneous numbers): "I/O Error invalid address for write". can anyone help? thanks a million.

Hi bryank,
What kind of computer do you have, I looked in previous posts but did not see anything. Also are you just using the Pioneer to rip and burn with?
It sure seems like something is very different about your set up. Most folks don't have too much difficulty burning DVDs. When they do have problems, a few suggestions can usually fix things right up.
However in your case or fine suggestions seem to be taking you nowhere.
First off, we are not going to solve your problem. You are.
Most of the suggestions we make are general in nature. Good media, good hardware, proper use of programs, correct hardware installation, etc. Hopefully you have an idea of what needs to be in place for successful DVD copying.
At any rate you are here so lets not give up yet, but I need to know what you trying to use.
A very detailed description of your machine with lots of numbers and brand names is always nice.
I want to know about your hard drive and video card if any.
Also tell me if you like to tweak and/or overclock stuff. What do you do with your computer when you are not trying to burn DVDs?
What kind of maintenance and utility programs do you have? Do you do disc clean-ups and defrags? Do you check your registry often? Are you using anti-virus software?
Heres mine for a small example:
Sony VAIO RS220, 2.53 Ghz P4, 1024 RAM, 120 GB Seagate HD, 80 GB W. Digital External HD, On board Video, Lite-on 166S DVD ROM, Pioneer A-07 burner, Sony DRU-700A DL burner. Currently the Pioneer is installed again.
Maintenance programs: Spybot S&D, Ad-ware 6.0, Registry Mechanic, System Mechanic 4, Nero Utilities,Mcafee Anti-virus and firewall.
By looking at that you can tell what I use to burn DVDs. Certainly not the latest and greatest but a reliable, moderately fast unit. You can tell I like to keep it in order just by the maintenance programs I listed.
So please make me a list!
If I had your problem the next thing I would do is a disc cleanup, defrag, virus/adware checks and then run one of those registry checking utilities. Registry Mechanic:
http://www.winguides.com/regmech/
Check your hardware too. Are your IDE cables plugged into your drives correctly? Have you got the master and slave jumpers installed correctly relative to the drives positions on the IDE buss?
If errors still occur I would then suspect the video card. I don't have much experience with them so I can't help to much in that area.
Something else to consider is Nero. It has a 30 day free trial.
DVD43 and Nero Recode2 will give you a set of different programs to try and be easier to troubleshoot as well.
Nero can generate a burn log with all kinds of useful system information.
Hopefully you won't end up dumping your OS and reformatting your HD but it may come to that. Some error in your system is causing this and that might be the only way to fix it.
Taking your computer to a shop is always an option. Pay someone. They may have it fixed in no time at all.
My brother worked on his for weeks until he gave up. The shop tech replaced his video card and reformatted. In a couple of days he had his machine back, working perfectly.
I'll only struggle for so long before I start fighting with cash.
Some folks don't have money for that though and of course we will do the best we can to help you! It may come to spending money though.
Sorry for the long reply, don't forget the list,
Cheers,
Frank
