Ok, I was trying to backup AP - Goldmember on dvd, but it immediately started backing up the dvd on SHRINK very slow. Said it was going to take up to 42 hours to finish the backup.
I checked primary and secondary IDE, and DMA was enabled. *shrugs*
So I used DVDFab instead and backed up the whole movie to the HD. No errors, no problems
I tried using DVDShrink to shink the full screen movie, but got this error
DVD Shrink encountered an error and cannot continue.
Failed to read file E:\DVD movies\FullDisc\GOLDMEMBER\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_3.VOB
Invalid access to memory location
--------
Ive never seen this pop up before. HELP

Hi Dr.Who
Which version of DVDFab are you using?
May want to try 3.0.3.8 beta. One fix is for Shrink that some users get when ripping w/ DVDFab.
http://www.dvdidle.com/free.htm
Does your current transfer mode show DMA mode also?
How long did DVDFab take to rip?
Check the back of the disc for dirt, smudges scratches etc - clean the disc off w/ something non abrasive.
If you haven't very recently do a disc cleanup and defrag.

Well, I couldnt find out what version I was running, so I looked at the setup file in the folder and it said DVDFab 3035, if this helps.
I actually downloaded it from here from the site.

cool. 3.0.3.5, like previous releases is great, but always look for updates. i've used 3.0.3.8 Beta a few times, in fact 3.0.3.5 wouldn't do 'The Break-Up' correctly (caused DVD Shrink to barf), found the Beta version was fine for this one..
Main PC ~ Intel C2Q Q6600 (G0 Stepping)/Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3/2GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500/Zalman CNPS9700/Antec 900/Corsair HX 620W

Yah, the beta seems to be working, but Im still having minor issues with DMA, but other than that, seems to be working ok now.

Nope.... Says LOOKING FOR BURNINGBITS.COM or whatever and 10 seconds later.......
Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at www.burningbits.com.
* Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

And I dont have a firewall. just kaspersky running in background but its set to allow all sites

Server is just down...try again in a little bit.
How to Enable DMA...2 basic methods.
Has burning a DVD/CD crawled to a slow pace...did it used to be fast and now it's like watching hair grow? Chances are that one or more of your drives have slipped into PIO mode (slow data transfer) from the much faster and more reliable DMA mode (Direct Memory Access).
What is DMA?
Quote:
"DMA (also referred to as bus mastering) is a technique that some components and devices use to transfer data directly to and from memory without passing through the Central Processing Unit (CPU). DMA reduces CPU overhead by providing a mechanism for data transfers that do not require monitoring by the CPU." (description by Microsoft Corporation)
Lack of DMA usually results in occasional loss of system responsiveness, and excessive processor usage during hard-drive and CD-ROM transfers. Most hard-drives manufactured after 1998 support DMA.
http://www.burstcopy.com/dma/
What is PIO mode?
Quote:
The programmed input/output (PIO) interface was the original method used to transfer data between the CPU (through the ATA controller) and an ATA device. The PIO interface is grouped into different modes that correspond to different transfer rates. The electrical signaling among the different modes is similar -- only the cycle time between transactions is reduced in order to achieve a higher transfer rate. All ATA devices support the slowest mode -- Mode 0. By accessing the information registers (using Mode 0) on an ATA drive, the CPU is able to determine the maximum transfer rate for the device and configure the ATA controller for optimal performance.
The PIO modes require a great deal of CPU overhead to configure a data transaction and transfer the data. Because of this inefficiency, the DMA (and eventually UDMA) interface was created to increase performance. The simple digital logic required to implement a PIO transfer still makes this transfer method useful today (especially if high transfer rates are not required).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIO_mode
Now that we know what the different modes of data transfer are all about we can check to make sure that everything is the way it is supposed to be.
First, go to Start in the bottom left hand corner of your desktop and right click on My Computer, in the drop down menu choose "properties."
In the new window that pops up click on the hardware tab and then Device Manager
In the next window that opens browse down to the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers and find your Primary and Secondary IDE Channels. Double click on the Primary IDE Channel, click on the Advanced Settings tab and make sure that the current transfer mode that is selected is DMA if available etc. Also check that the current transfer mode is DMA.
Repeat the above step for the Secondary IDE channel and click OK and close all open windows and restart your PC.
After rebooting follow the steps above to check that DMA is the current transfer mode for all drives and devices.
If they are still in PIO mode from the Device Manager screen, right click on your the IDE channel that will not change its transfer setting and choose Uninstall....
Then reboot again...upon rebooting XP will find the correct drivers and install them in DMA mode for you.
Note: If you are not an XP user and are using Windows 9x, you can use this guide:

Ive already done and BEEN through all this.....
Both IDE's are set to DMA enabled. They have never switched to PIO
Ive uninstalled, reinstalled the DMA drivers, uninstalled, reinstalled Shrink, Nero, DVDRegion, Fab, you name it.
Uninstalled, reinstalled the dvdrom drivers as well....
Ive done it all, and still I have problems.....
If I restart the computer, it works fine for a bit. Probably can get about 5-10 dvd movies, but eventually it slows down..
*shrugs*

Yup, that worked. Thanks
Only thing is its the same as above, which Ive stated that Ive already been and done that.
Im not sure what it could be, since Ive done everything from uninstalling and reinstalling every damn thing and STILL it gives me problems from time to time.
