OS: Windows XP SP2 with all current updates
Computer: More than adequate!

I have been using RATdvd succesfully from 0.5.0107 through 0.78.1444.

I now get nothing but the infamous "Catastophic Failure" message when I begin the conversion process.

I have completely uninstalled/reinstalled Rat several times (even went back temporarily to previous release), installed K-Lite Codec Pack, done the "DEP exceptions for the two Rat files, and am running Rat in English.

Since Christmas I have installed the software for the Logitech Harmony remote (v. 5.1.2) and an external USB hard drive to which I saved a number of DVD's after running them through DVD Decrypter. I also upgraded Cyberlink Power DVD to latest satndard version.

It was when I tried to "Rat" one of the copies on the USB drive that I first began having the "CF" message.

Tried diconnecting the external drive and problem still persisted. Same thing happens with decrypted files copied to C drive.

Tried decrypting to C drive with USB drive disconnected with same ultimate result. Tried all permutations above with all spyware and anti-virus off: same result.

DVD Shrink 3.2, Menu Shrink 3.2, and DVD Decrypter all continue to work with no problems.

What has triggered this problem and what have I posssibly missed!!!???

Thanks in advance.

This happens sometimes with hard-drives that acidentally damaged data on disk. Try reinstalling over ratDVD as I can tell you I have had crashes from programs I have installed on my comp and a good install over them eliminated the problem I had.

Tried that even though I had already did several "clean" reinstalls.

No change.

Thanks for trying!

This is a real mystery!!!

Never did find the "culprit" for this problem.

I replaced my existing hd with a larger capacity hd and simply reinstalled everything from scratch which eliminated whatever conflict created the original problem.

It had to have been a software conflict with another program but I could not figure out which one.

Good luck.

Got "Catastrophic Failure" when I tried to write
to the DVD-ROM drive.
=> No write permission on target?
