Hi!!! I just recently started burning with Decrypter and using Shrink. I had no problems until after about 8 DVD's, everything was going fine and then after the encoding process and the writing process actually begins, it wouldn't make it past 8%. It said at the bottom Writing Image and the estimated time left was unknown and the Write Retries section would say 2 times. And I left it like that for an hour and nothing happened!! I thought it was just a fluke accident, but then after a couple more DVD's it happened again!! And it ruins my discs, so I need to know how to fix this, what I'm doing wrong!! I use Sony discs that hold 120 minutes and I follow all the directions on the guides exactly. Do I need to shut down my computer after every disc I burn or maybe burn less discs?!?! I did about 8 in one day. Is that too much?!? I'd appreciate some help!! Thanks guys!!! :o) --Sarah
Hi Sarah, welcome to A/D. What kind of media are you using? If it is cheap media (or memorex, or, well the list goes on...), then that is your problem. I, and most of the smarter-people-here-than-me, stick with Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim Datalife plus. Some' may follow this reply with the fact that their off-brand favorite has never let them down but, I for one do not tolerate even one error in media. Period.
Hey ya'll!!! Thanks so much for helping me out. I think it might possibly be my media. I just checked someone's post on another topic and it said to avoid media made in taiwan and that's what I have!!! But I did figure out that I had other operations running in the background (Spysweeper and an anti-virus thing), so I shut those down and I think it is working fine now!!! I really appreciate all of ya'll's help!!! You are all so kind!! xoxo, Sarah
Thats an 04 I think. The 05s have a rather weird looking tail on them. I'm still puttin around on my 01. I had the 'busa pix for the longest time. I just wanted a Gixxer with a rose to show support for my British friends.
