I'm tired. Tired of reading all of the dvd this and dvd shrinks and the dvd clones, etc, etc,many of which are involved with this website that all talk about how they work with anything. I've bought them all and the only one that still works most of the time is dvd xcopy. Say what you will, post what you will, I have no vested interest in any of these products except for my own well being and the well being of my dvd's that I'm trying to back up. I've backed up hundreds if not thousands for my own personal use. I've only probably watched about 30 of them. If anyone out there has the secret to the combination of these products that will back up the Sony's and Disney's and the new Season 2 of Lost... please let me know. I'm not an idiot but I must be doing something wrong with the Sony's and Disney's and Lost's. Please don't respond with, "What type of media are you using?" or "What type of burner do you have?" or "What did you eat last night for dinner?" because none of that makes very much difference unless you're using an 8 track tape with an Atari 3600 and Donkey Kong. It's not any of these. I've used 10 different kinds of dvd-r's and 5 different burners all with the same positive and negative results. It's the movies and only the movies. Does anything other than x-copy really work? I'm tired. DVD BURNERS UNITE!

There is no need to buy anything.The combination of DvdFab+Vob Blanker (on occasion)+ Dvd Shrink+ (any burning program i use Nero) will do any dvd you want to back up. I have bought no programs and the only program i will ever consider buying is AnyDVD to save a bit of time.

DVDFab Decrypter (free) does absolutely everything out there (so far), then all i use is DVD Shrink. can't get much easier than that (i rarely even have to use Voblanker etc). If it's a movie that would lose too much quality using DVD Shrink, i just watch the original, can't get much easier than that either

cynthia_ and sleepele, why respond to a thread if you have no clue to an answer. you POS losers sit here and use the thread as your form of communication. put away the six bags of chips and stop picking at your acne and boogers and get up and do something with your miserable POS lives. anything has to be better than passing judgements on posts that you have no clue about. do us all a favor and don't hide behind your computer. if you'd like to discuss this further, we can take this off of this forum and maybe meet to discuss this further. I GUARANTEE YOU WON'T LIKE THE RESULTS. IT SUCKS TO BE YOU AND YOUR LIFE.

@sean1967 - i don't see anything wrong with the other replies. it's obvious you're frustrated but that's all the more reason to not inflame other posters..

i can see a few things wrong in the Nero log but i'd request some calm in the thread...

Going by this logfile there's absolutely nothing wrong with the movies you're trying to burn...

Quote:
Nero API version: 6.3.0.3
- too old as your burner isn't being recognised properly, see 2 comments down

Quote:
Recorder: <DVDRW IDE 16X> Version: A07R
- this is a generic drive name but need to know exactly which burner you have before suggesting newer firmware

Quote:
Connected to MMC as unknown drive with class-nr : 1
Drive is autodetected - recorder class: Std. MMC recorder
- as i say, Nero is too old to recognise your burner, try 6.6.0.13 from here - http://www.oldversion.com/download.php?i...5cc37ce3344f83a

Quote:
CdRomPeripheral : DVDRW IDE 16X atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: Off

Quote:
Recorder: DVDRW IDE 16X, Media type: DVD-R
Disc Manufacturer: FUJIFI - LM03

- those Fuji discs seem to be supported in the burners' firmware as they're showing up in this section

Quote:

Quote:
Power calibration error
- quote from "http://www.nero.com/en/FAQs_Error_Messages.html#9 - "

Quote:
"9. I get a 'Power calibration error' or 'Calibration area (almost) full' error message. Why?

Power Calibration is controlled by the recorder.

Before any write operation, all recorders must do a 15 step power test to determine the optimum power for writing to the CD; this is called "Optimum Power Calibration"(OPC). During the write, it continues to do this test to get the best write throughout the whole CD; this is called "Running Optimum Power Calibration" (ROPC).
This whole process is controlled by the recorder, though initiated by programs such as Nero. There is an area on the inner part of the CD for the test and test data info to be stored. You can use this area up to 999 times.

If you receive the "Power calibration error" or "Power calibration area is (amost) full" error message, the cause will be either poor media, poor power, or a defective recorder.

Please try the following solutions:

Update the firmware of your recorder. Please check the manufacturer's website for the latest version.
Try another brand of CD-R or CD-RW media.
Try different power connectors, and for recorders, do not share power with other devices. It needs its own power connector. If the error occurs with an external recorder, the power source in the chassis could be the cause. As a test, try to take the recorder out of the external chassis and connect it internal.
Try different configurations, such as taking the CD-ROM to the primary IDE bus as slave and have only the recorder connected to the secondary IDE bus as master.
Send the recorder in for service."

When I read your first post in this thread there is nothing that tells us that this is a pure burning related problem. Instead you talk about copy protection issues and programs that don't work.

Not even sure why you post in the DVD Shrink forum about a burning problem with Nero as you stated that DVD Shrink was not a good program.

1. Update Nero (will not help you)
2. Update the firmware (could help you)
http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1913
3. Enable DMA (will help you)

If you have used as you stated - "I've used 10 different kinds of dvd-r's and 5 different burners all with the same positive and negative results. " Then I have to ask - what was the positive results and why did you not use those combinations...

Well This is what works for me.
1 AnyDVD and Nero Recode
2. AnyDVD, Shrink, and Nero to burn
3. DLs and SLs ImgBurn to build and burn ISO to DLs and SLs media
4. Actually AnyDVD and DVD XcopyXpress still works
5. AnyDVD and DVD Decrypter to rip and any of the above encoders to finish.
6. AnyDVD's own ripper and any of the above encoders to finish.

Shrink and Decrypter will still do some without AnyDVD helping.

I have not needed to try the free way with DVD Fab or ripit4me. Everyone using these, seems to be having success.

Most people having problems are usually having hardware problems, software conflicts, or user error ones! If the programs didn't work, people wouldn't be using them in the numbers they are. Why didn't you stick with what you got positive results for?

And from the tone of your original question, I could care less if you ever get it sorted.

Edit: Thanks Herbsman he needed that.

I really am starting to worry about you....you're becoming a "softie"..I wouldn't give the little twerp the courtesy of a reply.

@Herbsman, Good to see you're still active and have a good grip of the "Ban" button, Cheers.

I thought we was doing ''Good cop , bad cop'' scenario [j/k] lol ; )

Didn't mean to tread on your toes w/ this character Creakster , but felt he was not deserved of posting nonsense .. which it was.
And as for asking if anyone would like to step outside w/ him , that's tad amount to intimidation or bullying (whether it be in a cyber stylee , it's not to be put up with imo).
