I'm Getting Tired of Seeing This - Page 2 - Club CDFreaks

I don't think it's the drive or firmware. I just completed an uninstall, as I did back in January, then reinstalled the software. Lo and behold, it works.

On my machine, something happens when a new version is installed atop an older version. Obviously, the software recognizes when the source DVD is removed and blank media is inserted, but the write process won't start up.

This problem, this error appears after installing an update atop a previous version of the software.

Those discs you are using have been known to vary a lot.

Jimbo · 24-02-2008

Amen to that Bob, when you use junk disks you get awful results and even the program refuseing to write to them IMHO

teh roxxors · 24-02-2008

I give up.

Next you'll tell me it's my mouse drivers.

Let's see: Program refuses to write following update install. Uninstall & reinstall program. Program starts writing again without any problems. "Oh, it's obviously those cheap Sony discs."

Troubleshooting at its finest.

What do you suggest. This trouble shooting is hard to do just posting and not being there with different media that most of us have or another pc to put it in plus check cabling to see the results etc........

Media plays a big part in burning.

We don't get paid to do this which i'm not complaining. You have been a member as long as i have.

**alan1476** · 24-02-2008

You have 2 drives in your log, the Liteon is a CDRW drive, you cannot use that one. The other is a USB Sony DRU840 I believe. Make sure you are only burning at 8X with the USB Sony, especially with CMC Mag media.

If you do not want to go with what we suggest and think what we say is nonsence or stupid then don't ask us for help, plain and simple

Mike89 · 25-02-2008

No one else is having the problems you are with these specific movies and program. That should tell you something (that it's somewhere else than the program).

A little better attitude wouldn't hurt either when you're asking for help.

I didn't tell the software to use the E: drive, which is the Lite-On CD writer. Install the software, and it defaults to that drive the first time you start it up. Perhaps because it is the first logical writing drive? The Sony DVD drive is a USB drive. Maybe the software doesn't care for USB drives, or something changes in the way it works with USB drives after an update is installed?

If there is some way to prevent the software from ever seeing the E: drive, please tell me.

Still, the correct drive has been selected, the write speed has been set to 8x, and the error still happened. That much is seen in the logs. As soon as I did the uninstall and reinstall, the error went away.

My final help on this one...when you uninstall and re-install at the end of the install there is a box for start DVDFab when you click the FINISH button DVDFab opens is this the only time that it works correctly if so ....PLEASE do a "CLEAN uninstall" by using the steps given in the link below in my signature..NOTE this is not the normal uninstall it show you how to delete items left behind after you uninstall the program... and please download a new install file do not use the one you already have
GOOD LUCK

troy512 · 25-02-2008

teh roxxors is using your uninstall guide.

only difference i can see from his post is that he uses regedit to delete dvdfab entries instead of regseeker.

yes you are correct. this is normal and will not interfere with the burning process.

is this the only time you have problems writing? or will you have problems again say after a few writes or after a couple of days?

do you have other dvd burning programs installed which may interfere with VSO? such as ner0 incd or anydvd?

have you tried setting the burning to use imgburn from dvdfab?

before the next time you uninstall dvdfab, uninstall the pcouffin driver from device manager and disconnect and uninstall your usb drive. after reboot and before installing dvdfab again reconnect your dvd drive.

*Bob* · 25-02-2008

Troy yep try a different writing app.

Yes, the ONLY time I have problems is immediately after installing a new version on top of a previous version, and that started with 4.0.5.0. If I COMPLETELY uninstall & reinstall the software, it works fine.

No. And I think Nero is the Devil.

No, but I can if I have to, or if it is better somehow.

OK, I'll try that. Thanks for the advice.

.

That is what I do all the time no matter what,... never have issues like everyone else

Course I do the "CLEAN" way

allenv30 · 28-02-2008

I am having the same issue. It all started with the last update to this version. Once i installed it, the program started spitting out the DVDs. I went to wally world and bought several different medias. Did the same thing. I was able to burn using other programs fine. So, after the last 3 years of no problems, my next bet was the burner itself. I figured maybe it was on its last leg. So i just purchased a new burner. It is burning now better then before.

But the problem is still there.

There are speed issues and also burn times. I can burn a movie in 6 minutes, then put in another dvd and the same movie takes 15 minutes.

i do believe there is something in the new update that is conflicting somewhere in the OS.

I hope others will post who is having the same issue. Maybe it is specific to a specific bios or motherboard. who knows. i am still working the problem.

As for uninstalling and reinstalling thats a waste of time. Just reboot and you will get one good burn with no hicups.

You are right about Sony media. it is starting to suck. I am using memorex at the moment.

any help or any pros out there, we could sure use a hand...

teh roxxors · 27-04-2008

UPDATE:

This bug has been part of the application for some time now, giving me time to find another way around it.

The software fails to write to a blank disc after swapping out the ripped movie. Perhaps it's because I'm not using separate drives, perhaps it's because I'm using a USB drive. Dunno. I didn't write the program.

It fails to write when I've let the drive spin up the blank disc and waited for the little activity light to stop flashing.

So I started clicking a bit earlier, after the drive retracted the blank disc, but well before the computer had time to recognize the media. This prompts a "Drive Not Ready" error--no big deal. I click a few more times, get a few more errors, but once the drive is ready, the software begins writing. It no longer fails to write.

This is certainly easier than reinstalling, rebooting, or restarting the software.

I hope this helps others who are having the same problem.

This is what i came up with.

i found out that PCTools was interfering with the lastest versions. I did all the troubleshooting.

Before i start to burn any movies, I make sure i turn off PCTools!

it works well after that.

You might want to check and see what antispyware you are running or antivirus software. If you have it, disable it!

give that a shot. it works for me now

Let's see: Program refuses to write following update install. Uninstall & reinstall program. Program starts writing again without any problems. "Oh, it's obviously those cheap Sony discs." Troubleshooting at its finest.

The other is a USB Sony DRU840 I believe. Make sure you are only burning at 8X with the USB Sony, especially with CMC Mag media. __________________ I do not provide technical support over E-mail or Private Message Please post your questions on the Forum Sign up to CD Freaks Register Here FORUM RULES Need some help ?

That should tell you something (that it's somewhere else than the program). A little better attitude wouldn't hurt either when you're asking for help. __________________ Core 2 Duo 6600 @ 3.2 gig (ThermalRight Ultra 120 Heatsink), Asus P5B Deluxe, 2x1024 Corsair PC6400C4, EVGA GTX 280, NEC 90GX2, X-Fi Extreme Gamer Pro, Lite-on LH-20A1L SATA DVD Burner, Pioneer DVR-216D SATA DVD Burner, Lite-on SHM-165H6S IDE DVD Burner, 2 WD 250 gig (16 meg cache) SATA HDDs, WD 750 gig (external e-sata) HDD, Winfast USB2 TV Tuner, Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Speaker System, Corsair TX750w PSU, Windows XP Pro

Once i installed it, the program started spitting out the DVDs. I went to wally world and bought several different medias. Did the same thing. I was able to burn using other programs fine. So, after the last 3 years of no problems, my next bet was the burner itself. I figured maybe it was on its last leg. So i just purchased a new burner. It is burning now better then before. But the problem is still there. There are speed issues and also burn times. I can burn a movie in 6 minutes, then put in another dvd and the same movie takes 15 minutes. i do believe there is something in the new update that is conflicting somewhere in the OS. I hope others will post who is having the same issue. Maybe it is specific to a specific bios or motherboard. who knows. i am still working the problem. As for uninstalling and reinstalling thats a waste of time. Just reboot and you will get one good burn with no hicups. You are right about Sony media. it is starting to suck. I am using memorex at the moment. any help or any pros out there, we could sure use a hand...

The software fails to write to a blank disc after swapping out the ripped movie. Perhaps it's because I'm not using separate drives, perhaps it's because I'm using a USB drive. Dunno. I didn't write the program. It fails to write when I've let the drive spin up the blank disc and waited for the little activity light to stop flashing. So I started clicking a bit earlier, after the drive retracted the blank disc, but well before the computer had time to recognize the media. This prompts a "Drive Not Ready" error--no big deal. I click a few more times, get a few more errors, but once the drive is ready, the software begins writing. It no longer fails to write. This is certainly easier than reinstalling, rebooting, or restarting the software. I hope this helps others who are having the same problem.
