Here's the Usual .....troubleshoots ...

Let's check something .....

Go to > Start > My Computer
> Right Click on DVD drive > Properties > Auto-Play tab

What do you have selected for the "Action to Perform" for 'DVD Movie" ?
This should be set as "Take no action"
OR
Set only for your DVD Player ( WinDVD/ Power DVD )
- be sure to close your 'Player' before opening 1Click

What do you have selected for the "Action to Perform" for 'Blank CD" ?
This should be set as "Take no action"



While here in the DVD Drive 'Properties"
Do you have a "DLA" tab ?
= Disable DLA

Would you happen to have

or
Roxio ( DragtoDisc/ EasyArchive/ DirectCD )
- installed/active on your Computer ?


FAQ : Can other software conflict with the installation

Let's look at your Filters
> Download IMGBurn. It's a free program:
http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
(it's also an excellent burning program )

> Run IMGBurn > Go to Tools > Filter Driver Load Order

> Click "Clipboard". Close IMGBurn
Then paste the information you copied into your clipboard
into your next post in this thread (ctrl-v).

and read the first post please,
so you can get a better understanding of what is going on.

Please , Do not start randomly deleting filters.

Here's some Help - with maybe ... reducing the load ....

I'd recommend that you Try using EnditALL while Copying/Burning
... to free up your resources
... You might be surprised at what's running - in the background


Open Advanced Windows Care Personal > Tools > Start-Up Manager
( it's completely free and a very recommended clean-up program )

You will be presented with a listing of the Programs
- Programs that are designated to Start-Up with Windows
- and Descriptions of Each ( Click on Selection )

Any Start Up Entry - Referring to any DVD/CD Software ?
Windows Media Player ?
ITunes ?

If So = UN Check it

This only Disables the Program - from the List
- Designated to 'Start-Up' - with Windows
You would - still - be able to 'manually' start the Program(s) - when needed

Also ......
UN Check anything - Not Trustworthy
UN Check anything - Not Necessary or Not Preferred
( you may click on an Start-Up item > Select Disable - If you prefer )
>> Apply
> Reboot


or -
You could also , Go into Msconfig - and Deselect unneeded Programs
- from your 'Start Up"
This will help a lot .....
Do I really need this on my PC?

How to use MSCONFIG ?

Alright lets try one thing at a time here. I have a log of the error and I also have a log of a dvd that was successfully burned a day prior to when all of this shit started. I will post the bad log and let me know if you would like to look at the good one.

....Yes I do happen to have nero installed on my computer. I use it quite often but it takes so long to transcode.

When this started happening it would transcode but not burn and ended up with like six coasters.

Im going to download the programs you have listed to see if that helps any.

Thanks for all your help so far!

I have downloaded all 3 programs that you recommended. I have done something similar to cleaning up all the junk before but wasnt as easy as the WindowsCare program was.

I did notice that I have a few nero things starting up with the computer and I quickly disabled them. I did the full cleanup with WindowsCare. I downloaded EndItAll but I didnt use anything because what I read seemed that I only needed to use it while I was burning a DVD.

I also downloaded ImgBurn. You asked me to post a copy of the clipboard so here it is:

I read the post you listed about the filters and it seems like some very useful information to someone who would know what two programs filters collide. (if my understanding of it is correct).

I do not have any Roxio stuff on my computer I dont think. Unless it came with the computer software because I reformatted about six months ago and I am very aware of what I put on and take off!

Hopefully all of this information has helped you to help me! Thanks for the links to much useful software. Hopefully we/you can find a solution soon!

You need to Update 1Click PRO
Current Version is 3.1.8.3
http://www.lgsoftwareinnovations.com/download.asp


You have CloneDVD2 installed
So .....
Where is AnyDVD ?

-or- .... What are you using for a Decrypter ?

You need to Remove DLA/ DragtoDisc


~~~~~~~~~~~~


... but ..

Your Biggest Problem :

HP DVD Writer 200j

This Burner is antique
12xCDR CLV
10xCDRW CLV
DVD-R None
DVD-RW None
DVD-RDL None
2.4xDVD+R CLV
2.4xDVD+RW CLV
DVD+RDL None
DVD-RAM None


You -really- need to consider replacing this Old DVD-RW Drive
In fact - It's Imperative
Yours has truly served it's time
Last Firmware Update : 2004-03-25
re: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...os=228&lang=en

You should have it 'bronzed'


New 20x/22x DVD Burners are only $30.00+/-

LG // LG H55 / GH22NP20
Samsung 202
Pioneer 115


$30.00 +/-

Ultimately ,
I would also replace your CD-ROM Drive with a new DVD Burner



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Media ID: DAXON-AZ3-00

Your Burner has No Firmware Support - whatsoever
- for this 16x Media - or most/ All 16x Media


Definitely : Try some Better Media
Verbatim or TY Media
You'll be much Happier ...

http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

BestBuy has Verbatim on Sale - quite a bit
- for probably about the same ( or less )
than you were paying for those DAXON-AZ3-00


Verbatim @ BestBuy
Verbatim @ Newegg
Verbatim @ Walmart

I have sonic mydvd and cant find DLA. I read about that filter and dont want to delete it right away because i dont want the blue screen of death everyone is talking about. i was considering buyin a new dvd drive but wasnt sure if that would fix the problem. How do I delete that file without running into any unwanted problems. I tried to go to add/remove programs but you cant change, only uninstall. Thanks!

There is a Driver File in your System32 Folder
- sharing the drvmcdb - name (similar)
If you removed this Driver File - Then Windows would not boot



However
- We the referencing drvmcdb Filter in your CD-ROM Drivers
It's more likely that the presence of this Filter - if active
- would cause the BSOD



>> Create a backup of your registry
> Open IMGBurn
> Go to Tools > Filter Driver Load Order
>> Select "DRVMCDB"
> Click "Remove Selected Filter"
>> Click "Remove Selected Filter"
> Click "OK ".
>> Reboot

Keep in mind the programs that installed those filters
will no longer work properly.
Certain Functions of SonicMyDVD may not be available


****************************


A new DVD Burner would help immensely
- that may be 95% of the problem - if not all
Your burner is old enough - that it may just have given up the ghost

Your HP 200j had a Max Burn of 2.4x
That must be like watching grass grow
....Let me put it this way :
A 8x Burn takes 8 min +/-
A 12x Burn takes 6
A 16x burn takes 5
A 22x burn takes 4 min


Really , Do yourself a favor and get a new burner
You can't even fill your gas tank for $30.00

Shannon I noticed something you may of overlooked? In the log it shows 58% Memory Load? That is quite high to don't you think? Grant it that there is 2 gigs of RAM but......

Music match effects other burning software but not sure if it effects one click or not?????

Yes , you're right ...

I did try to address this :


re:

It's best - to at least -
just to Disable this from Windows Start-Up
So that it's not Running in the background

I saw this Filter
- but I felt it more important to address the more probable Issues - First

The OP definitely needs a New Burner
I'd say .... that would be 'Priority One"

Alright. I tried to delete the filter and then burn. Same error. I went ahead and ordered a 22x Lg Lightscribe off of the link you provided for like 28 bucks. Not bad. Thank you! Hopefully that will solve all of the issues. As soon as I get it, it will be in and I will let you know what happens! Thanks for all of your help so far!

Alright,
Got the burner and everything is in. Before I had a dvd burner and a cd rom drive. I removed the cd rom and took the older burner in its spot. Then I put the new one in on top. Ran the new one as the master and old one as the slave. Got an error again. Googled the error and found a quick fix by unplugging the slave (old dvd burner) and everything works perfectly. So all is good. It is near pointless to have another drive anyways because you cant do two things at once on this computer. Thanks for the link to that site in finding me a new drive for cheap. You're awesome!

I'm glad to hear that worked for you !
Excellent !


If you'd like , Please post the now successful logs for some 'follow-up"



Using one drive is fine
The only point in having Two Drives
- Is one of convenience
Using one Drive to read - One to Burn
- means you can Place both the original and the Blank
- and not have to swap Discs midstream

In the Future , If you'd like to add another Drive
I'd suggest getting a Samsung SH-202 to use as the Reader
( Samsungs are Faster readers than the LGs )

Your Issue with Both drives being connected
- May have been simply that the HP 200 Drive was Bad

You might also need a New 80 wire IDE Cable
( if you didn't replace the Old one )
The IDE cable may also be bad
IDE Cables are cheap ($10.00+/- .... or less )

Were the Original Drives - Originally - set as Master / Slave ?
- or - As Cable Select ?


Your New LG GH22 is UDMA 4
Your Old HP 200 was UDMA 2
This also might present some Issues
- being connected to the same IDE
Your HP would have probably kept your GH22 at UDMA 2

Food for thought

-anyway-

You should love your LG GH22
I have one
It's an excellent Burner

Yes its great. I am not too worried about having more than one drive. Just more money for a college student to throw out! I have a few more questions regarding something totally different that maybe you can help me out with since you've been so great! But for now, here's the log!

There it is. This shows that the ultra dma mode is 2. Who cares? It works and it burned it in 4 minutes!

But anyways, I use WinAvi Converter to convert avi to dvd then burn with one click. Using Nero usually takes me pretty much all night to do! So I only do that if I am going to bed and dont plan on using the computer anymore that night!

I have been reading that WinAvi is not the best for quality but it is for speed! I recently got ConvertXtoDVD and that did the whole process overnight. So that took forever too!

WinAvi usually takes about an hour to convert. If this is the fastest converter out, in most instances, is the only way to speed it up to buy more ram. I was looking into getting another gig of ram since I have 512mb right now. So stuff doesnt run so smooth. I know I need a new computer since this one is WAY outdated. But it works pretty good.

If ram is a good option of speeding up pretty much EVERYTHING on my computer, can you give me a link to some sites where I can find a gig for pretty cheap? I looked on new egg. BTW, its pc2100. If you dont do so much of the computer hardware as you do software, just let me know. But your help, or anyone's for that matter, would be much appreciated.

Thanks for all your help!

Open 1Click -
Right Click on the 1Click Interface > Settings Menu

>>Set= Your "Preferred Burn Speed" at 1/2 of your Media's rating
ie: IF You're using 16x Media = Set for 8x ;
8x Media = Set for 4x

If using Good quality Media -
My GH22NP20 burns Perfect Burns every time at 12x
Burns good at 16x , 20x and 22x - too
- but the most consistent / best Quality Burns are at 12x

>>UN Check= Enable media stats collection - VSO





Yes , Definitely Add Some RAM
It will help with everything on your Computer
512Mb is minimal
I run 4 GB ( over-kill )

You can Go here :
Scan your Computer
the Scan will tell you : What you have > against > What you could have
http://www.crucial.com/index.aspx?gc...20080519164222
( I'm not recommending Crucial RAM necessarily ..... just using their scanner )


Then .... Take the Scan Result Specs
... and Cross Reference here :
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2DConfigurator
( Newegg has some really good Prices )


Your main concern about the Speed in the Conversion
- Is your Processor
The Faster the Processor - the Faster the Conversion
Adding some RAM should help a little
- As would closing any Unnecessary Background Programs ( EnditALL )

An Hour is Normal , I think
- for this type of Conversion - even with the fastest CPUs

You should also give 1ClickDVDMovie a try
- see if it's any Faster
http://www.lgsoftwareinnovations.com/1clickdvdmovie.asp
There's a free Trial period


Honestly , I don't mess with Downloads/Conversions
I stick to the DVDs
I can give you some Computer pointers
- but I don't have any experience with the 'Conversions'
