omg we found it? lol thank you. I'll tell you how it goes.

PROBLEM when I go to the start menu like the directions stated here

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...os=228&lang=en

I go there and then I go the start menu like it says but then it goes all programs, I go there, then it says CD (DVD) recorder now does that mean go to something that says that or since mine is Sonic does that mean select Sonic? Cause on my all programs menu there is not CD (DVD) burner.

Yes , Just open SonicRecordNow!
First - Check for Updates - For Sonic - then proceed

You may need to browse for the "Firmware Update Image" < Where ever you've saved it
- or - I think I remember mine was already loaded for Sonic - ready to go

anyway , yes , Open Sonic and Burn the Image to a CD-R/RW

I'm sorry that HP's updates are such a pain

For Sonic RecordNow! Version 6.5 or 6.7:
1. Click START on the taskbar, and choose All Programs, RecordNow!,
and then click RecordNow! again - To Open SonicRecordNow!
2. In the RecordNow! application window, click the tab to view Backup Projects.
3. Click Burn Image.
4. Click Browse.
5. Navigate to the folder containing the update file
(C:\SoftPaq\sp26625), select the sp26625.iso file and click ADD.
6. Insert the blank CD disc into the drive.
7. Click Burn and wait for RecordNow! to complete the update CD disc.
8. Leave the disc in the drive and restart the PC.
9. Follow the onscreen instructions to update the firmware.


- I'll bet you'll never buy an HP Drive - that's for sure
I know I won't

Do I go to Start
All Programs
Sonic
DigitalMedia Projects
And RecordNow Audio or Data?

I got the firmware : ) yes lol this is amazing I will attempt now to burn Superman Returns and if it doesn't work I will display the log.

With my sony blank dvd's what speed you suggest I burn at?

8X.

COPY COMPLETED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so so so so so much lol 4 long months it had taken me.

If you'd like , post the sucessful Log session
- for any possible follow-up that we may offer


I'm glad to hear that you got it !
- and that was all that was needed

Happy Burning !

Shannon to the rescue again. Great job.

With the exception of the Media being of questionable quality
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm


- that's a pretty good-looking log

Play back's Good ?
Any Troubles to discuss ?

Yeah I know the media is questionable, but I ran out of the good one's so i'd figure I try and it does work I watched Da Vinci Code today. Something I am actually having recent trouble with is I keep getting errors when it is reading the disc stating that it suggests I restart my dvd encryption what shall I do.

OK ,
DVD43 can be a little 'temperamental' for some

First-
Be Sure that ALL DVD/CD Related Programs are Closed
Insert Disc in tray > Let DVD43 Decrypt
( Smiley Face gets Mad then turns Green )
Open your Computers DVD Player ( WinDVD/PowerDVD/etc )
View a little of the Movie : Menu > Play > Skip through a few Chapters /etc.
Close your DVD Player
this will insure - that Access to your DVD Source Drive - is not impeded

> Now , Open 1Click ; Select your Options > and "Start'

____________________

and then .... 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 Preform" for 'Blank CD" ?
This should be set as "Take no action"

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


While here in the DVD Drive 'Properties"
Do you have a "DLA" tab ?
= Disable DLA
and/or
Do you have a 'Recording' tab ?
= Disable "Desktop CD Recording"

___________________

Would you happen to have
- Nero ( InCD )
or
Roxio ( DragtoDisc )
- installed/active on your Computer ?

______________

Have you set the DVD Region in your "Source' DVD Drive ?

>> Go to
> Start > My Computer > Right Click on DVD Drive > Properties > "Hardware" Tab
>> Select DVD Drive from listing > Click "Properties" Button
> "DVD Region" Tab

Is your proper Region - set for the Drive ?
US = Region 1


______________


If you suspect that you may have a "Bad" Source Disc ....

Inspect the Disc and try cleaning it - even if it doesn't look like it needs it.

If this doesn't prove successful ...
Use the VSOInspector to scan the Disc ( it's Free )
http://www.vso-software.fr/products/.../inspector.php

If the Inspector reports "READ Errors"
Then you'll know that you've come across a "BAD" Source Disc .
I would then suggest that you acquire a different copy
... and compare your results .

__________________



and then ..... ... If All else Fails ...... Try AnyDVD

Try using AnyDVD instead of DVD43 - as your decrypter

AnyDVD has a free - 21 Day Free Trial - You have nothing to lose
http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html

DVD43 may be causing some issues for you
DVD43 works great with 1Click - for most
- but for a few others - it doesn't

- the only way to know for sure is just to TRY AnyDVD

Allow AnyDVD to Remove DVD43 upon installation ( You'll be Prompted )


It wouldn't be the first time .....

My tabs for the DVD drive are Sharing Autoplay Hardware Recording and General. Are any of those DLA?

And with the VSO Inspector what should I think if I get a problem NOT an Error but a Problem. And should I consider a program like EndItAll?

DLA = Drive Letter Access

No then , If you don't have a Specific "DLA" Tab - It's not there
- I don't have one either

You Could search= DLA , and see what is listed
Some Sonic Applications - just don't include DLA

If it reports anything - It's something to be concerned about
If you have a disc that's a problem
- and the VSOInspector is reporting a 'problem'
There is probably a problem
A 'Good' Disc will report no errors - no problems

What is the Title - of the 'problem' Disc ?


Yes ! I use EnditAll a lot ! Great Program !
I use it every time I'm backing-up/Burning
Definitely recommended
Try using EnditALL while Copying/Burning ... to free up your resources

P.S. - There is another Update for 1Click - 5.1.0.7
http://www.lgsoftwareinnovations.com/download.asp

There was ONE Problem I'll try to burn now sorry I closed it.

I have a question...okay so I have been downloadin' a lot more successfully now than I was in the past but this is a curiousity question. How come when I try to burn my Wedding Crashers movie it will fail at 18% which okay meaning the disc is scratched or something, but if I were to attempt to burn it again it would fail again but at 47% and all around there. So how is it getting passed the 18%?

Have you been Updating your 1Click ?
Current Version is 5.1.1.5
http://www.lgsoftwareinnovations.com/download.asp


Could you post the sessions of the failed "Wedding Crashers" attempts ?


You should not be having trouble with the 'Wedding Crashers' Disc
Did you clean the Disc ?
Did you scan with the VSOInspector ?
I would immediately suspect a 'bad' source Disc ( ? )
- especially if all/most other Movies are working well


Have you tried AnyDVD's 21 day free trial ?
I'm kinda wondering if AnyDVD - may be the better choice for you

>>> Everything You Need to Know About 1ClickDVDCopy .... but Were Afraid to Ask .... <<<

No no it's not failing when writing to the blank disc it's failing when it's reading it. And it does not pass the VSO inspector either. And it does it for quite a bit of movies I get.

Right ,
Try AnyDVD for your Decrypter - Instead of DVD43

AnyDVD has a free 21 day trial
http://www.slysoft.com/en/anydvd.html


I like to see if AnyDVD makes the Difference for you
DVD43 just doesn't cut it for some


Allow AnyDVD to Remove DVD43 during installation

Okay i'll try but the reason why I use DVD43 is cause it's free can you give me a private message or anything to get AnyDVD for free, or will I have to pay?

Okay 1click is still not working, it will burn some movies even on the not so reliable media and others it will read but once I try to write it won't write and with newer movies even with AnyDVD it is saying error at all different kinds of percentage. Although many of those movies haven't passed the VSO test either. So does this sound like more of a computer problem rather than a software problem cause this is again fustrating.
