Hi There. I am a newbie here and at cpoying films to disk so please be a bit understanding if I ask something really stupid.
I have dowloadedsome films which I can watch on my PC no problems. Now I would like to burn them to disk so that I can watch them on a dvd player. I printed off instructions on this web site, AVI files to DVD with Avi2DVD. This seems to have worked okay. Then I went to use DVD Decrypter to burn this to disk. However, it is now that I get a problem.
I follw the instructions untill it comes to burn the disk. It says
Device not ready (Medium not present) What does this mean?
Could it be the discs I am trying to burn onto?
If someone can help it would be great. Thanks for the help,
Uzi.

By the sound of things you've done ok up to final stage, normally you strike any errors before this. What medium are you burning to?

To burn with DVD Decrypter, the files need to be in ISO format.
If they are in a different format such as VOB you will need a program such as Nero to burn the files.
Also ensure you are using good quality media (e.g. Verbatim, Ritek, TY's etc.)

hi
use dvd indentifer or dvdinfo pro or dvd decrypter to tell us the media id codes off the discs (not brand as such).

hi
sorry it may not read? but go to iso write and then look at info filled window
you may need a update to the firmware of your drive to aid reading new discs?

Hi. In the top box it states, No Supported Drives Found.
There is no other relevent information like on yours.
It must be a drive problem for some reason?

Hi again.
I seem to have resolved some problems. It has been the media (Discs) I have been using. I used a CD-RW80 and it now begins to work. However these discs are not big enough. what type should I therefore use?
Is there a guide on what type to use somewhere. Thanks for the help, regards Uzi.

Okay. Almost ready to go but now DVD Decrypter says image is too big for disk. What can I do now. Do I shrink it?
Thanks, Uzi.

Hi Rotary.
Thanks for all your help and time. I have came to the decision that its just not worth the time and hassle to burn films to disk. I have therefore bought a large monitor on Ebay and am now watching the movies on it.
Thanks again for all the help,
Best wishes, David.

depending on what the format is when you download them there can be no hassle at all
with me most of what i download comes in a video_ts folder so all i do is load up Nero copy all the files in and burn. takes 2 mins to set up 15 mins to burn :)
