Copying a DVD made by CXD - Club CDFreaks

Gary Parent · 22-06-2006

I made a dual title DVD using CXD and it works great. However, I can't seem to copy it using Nero or CopytoDVD. However, I can burn additional copies using CXD's Burn option. Anything I'm doing wrong???

ConvertXtoDVD does not make the DVD Region coded, or add any protection to the burned media.

If you can't burn a copy of it, it's probably because it's having a hard time reading it.

Again, I will assume it was burned on low quality media and/or burned too fast.

What is the MEDIA ID of your disks ?

Media ID can be found in the burn logs, and/or by using tools like VSO Inspector.

Also, what speed do you burn those media ?

Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim are top notch media.

Media ID like CMC Mag are the elto crapo stuff on the market...

My 2 cents...

Gary Parent · 23-06-2006

Not a burning problem. The media is Verbatim. Been using the LiteOn and BENQ burners for a long time with no problems. After burning with CXD the burned DVD runs on everything. However, it seems to have a problem reading back on the PC for making a copy. Somthing in the DVD that standalone players don't mind but is causing a fit with CloneDVD2, Nero, et al.

J J · 23-06-2006

There is nothing done by CXD that could cause this.
All it does at burning stage is to create datadisk that contains video_ts folder.
All files are normal datafiles, no protection or encryption.

It must be your media.

Gary Parent · 26-06-2006

I think CloneDVD2 said it all when it complained that my post CXD generated files were not complaint. Big fat error message the moment I tried to input the CXD files to CloneDVD2.

How I fixed it.

I simply used FixVTS and the problem disappeared. You have to use this program and do a Full DVD on it and then its capable of being copied. FixVTS finds and repairs compliancy errors!

Are you trying to create video DVD from video DVD?
All you need to do is to copy that dvd contents like you would copy any data DVD.

*lapinou* · 26-06-2006

Could you paste your log here ? and also let us know if you are using subtitles or not and the ConvertXtoDVD version number.

Gary Parent · 26-06-2006

Hello,

Please follow what I did using a downloadable sample. Then convert using CXD, and finally input the converted DVD into CloneDVD2, from Elaborate Bytes/Slysoft. It generates the error message "Unable to read Video Files".....Unexpected Error..... It has to do with the format of the DVD generated by DVD.

I think it might be related to turning MENU generation OFF. Without the menu, you get a DVD that may work on a standalone player but has problems if you try to import it into certain software on a PC. Therefore, when you run the DVD files through FixVTS, it must find the bad links and repair them. CXD should be generating proper NO MENU DVDs. Just an opinion based on one experiment, FWIW!

J J · 26-06-2006

I just can't understand why ANY burning program would check those video files when you just COPY disc?

One thing I found right away - disc produced this way is NOT DVD compliant, it is under 1GB total size. Most new players have no problems with it however.

Then: I tried what you did, here is log from conversion and burn:

No problems there.

Then I tried making a copy with Nero by selecting "Copy DVD" option.
As I have only one DVD drive, I had to make copy using image.
Resulting log is attached, no problems.

Then I tried DVDShrink with that DVD. No problems - analyzed files, shrinked without problems.

Copied files to desktop - no problems.

Then I tried to make DVD-video from those files on DVD. No problem.
Tried to burn it - no problem.

Tried making DVD-video from those files with CopyTODVD - No problem.

So far everything I tried has worked.
With original and settings you used. (ok, language is different on CxD)

Conclusion - there is something wrong with your system.
I'd suggest full check for any adware, trojans etc.
If none found, (or anyway!) complete re-install of windows.

Gary Parent · 26-06-2006

>> Conclusion - there is something wrong with your system. <<

LOL!

Nonsense. I have two friends who are experiencing the exact same problem. Their settings are identical to mine. They are also converting from a file which is usually MPEG1. But the problem exists with other inputs (e.g. PAL DVD Input). The example I gave is a simple DIVX file I found on the Internet and its not representative of bigger and more complex source files I've tried. One thing is for sure, CLONEDVD2 definitely coughs on the conversion of the sample. If you can't duplicate that, then you are not experiencing what some other users may be having for a problem.

CLONEDVD2 ERROR: DVDManager 0 Common 0 4294967294 1

ALSO, DVDREMAKE PRO Genrates an Error Message.

Like I said in another message, I think the problem MIGHT BE (but I'm not sure) the exclusion of a menu. I just haven't done enough testing. However, if I simply run VTSFIX on the DVD compliation from CXD, the problem goes away, with or without the menu.

I'll get back if I find more information. Inthe interim, I have a fix.

Thanks for your trying.

Gary

Gary Parent · 27-06-2006

Hi Lapinou,

I just dumped the log of DVDREMAKE PRO after it rejected the CXD generated DVD in the example I gave of the conversion of the Da Vinci Code Trailer DIVX download.

THE DVDREMAKE PRO LOG:

Importing DVD...
Read DVD from: D:\CONVERTXTODVD\DaVinciCode_Trailer1\VIDEO_TS
Read VMG
vmg_last_sector != 0 (975:VMG.cpp)

Love the application and hope you can find a solution to make this great software invincible.

Thanks,

Gary

This issues was submitted to the VSO bug tracking system 15 days ago, see http://bugs.vso-software.fr/view.php?id=184

J J · 27-06-2006

OK, getting that error with DVDRemake.
Funny. Most programs work just fine, including best tools.

Gary Parent · 25-07-2006

OK. I downloaded 2.0.15.136 from a link in another thread, and it DID NOT fix my problem. CXD still gives errors when you import a CXD created project into DVDREMAKE and CLONEDVD2. Only FIXVTS program will repair the files. The problem has to do with setting NO MENUS in preferences. I gave an example of the problem, why is it not yet fixed if 2.0.15.136 is close to release?

J J · 25-07-2006

Gary - I just don't understand reason for this topic.

Copying DVD made by CxD works just fine.
You are trying to EDIT it again, and some programs cough right away.

Question is: if you are trying to COPY disk - why are you using EDITING program?

Sure I can get lots of errors and problems if I try funny things. Like converting 4 hours of episodes to one DVD5 and then run that output thru NeroExpress or other programs that are re-encoding - usually result does not fit to one disk.

Gary Parent · 25-07-2006

I never burn out of CXD. I mainly edit the project using another program like DVDRemake.

The fact remains that there is a duplicatable bug in CXD. The bug should be fixable and the rest will be history. Sometimes other problems get solved with a bug fix to one specific problem. Its the serendipity effect in programming.

This is a low level bug, and there is no questioning that. Because your receipe for creating DVDs is different from mine, does not negate my methods as insignificant. Beside, PORTMAC has already stated this same issue has been submitted previously. I am merely reporting that 2.0.15.136 beta does not solve the problem, YET!

J J · 25-07-2006

Gary - check your first post on this topic.
This is not problem on copying DVDs made with CxD, this is problem editing DVD made with CxD and that problem is reported as mentioned.

Gary Parent · 26-07-2006

I originally had a copy problem that was augmented by an edit problem. Since editing is of higher importance to me, I switched the focus to editing. In fact, they are both branches rooted on the same problem.

Ok, there is now an official new release of CXD on their web site, version 2.0.15.136. I tried it with the following clip:

http://media.divx.com/comiccon/SatKlingonZog.divx

Seems to still fail with CLONEDVD2.

J J · 26-07-2006

Something is badly wrong now.

I downloaded and installed CloneDVD2 just to test this.
Then I converted your exampleclip with CxD .15.
Menu included, no chapters. No problems converting.

Started CloneDVD2 - selected "create DVD", selected correct folder and wrote DVD.
Tried again, selected "copy DVD", selected correct folder and wrote DVD.
Converted again with forcing to PAL, included chapters. Back to CloneDVD2.
I tried all options that are on CloneDVD2 first page, I tried that cut/edit that it has, I removed sound, included menu, discarded menu, everytime same result:

No problems what so ever!

Gary Parent · 27-07-2006

>>Menu included, no chapters. No problems converting.<<
>> No problems what so ever! <<

If you read my previous messages you will see that the problem only manifests itself when you have NO MENUS in preferences. I think VSO is aware of the problem and I'm sure they'll fix it. Its not earth shattering but its a bug. All I was doing was to report "hey VSO, the bug still exists with this latest release". Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut and not said anything.

J J · 27-07-2006

Okay, more testing revealed what is wrong:
When there is no menu included, there is NO video_ts.vob. video_ts.ifo exists.
Editors are looking for that .vob and fail because it is not there.
VSO can fix this simply by making sure that video_ts.vob is written everytime.

Gary Parent · 29-07-2006

Thanks, JJ. I think you put your finger right on the problem.

Big fat error message the moment I tried to input the CXD files to CloneDVD2. How I fixed it. I simply used FixVTS and the problem disappeared. You have to use this program and do a Full DVD on it and then its capable of being copied. FixVTS finds and repairs compliancy errors! http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FixVTS.htm

Without the menu, you get a DVD that may work on a standalone player but has problems if you try to import it into certain software on a PC. Therefore, when you run the DVD files through FixVTS, it must find the bad links and repair them. CXD should be generating proper NO MENU DVDs. Just an opinion based on one experiment, FWIW!

Gary Parent CD Freaks Member Join Date: Nov 2003 Posts: 127	Re: Copying a DVD made by CXD >> Conclusion - there is something wrong with your system. << LOL! Nonsense. I have two friends who are experiencing the exact same problem. Their settings are identical to mine. They are also converting from a file which is usually MPEG1. But the problem exists with other inputs (e.g. PAL DVD Input). The example I gave is a simple DIVX file I found on the Internet and its not representative of bigger and more complex source files I've tried. One thing is for sure, CLONEDVD2 definitely coughs on the conversion of the sample. If you can't duplicate that, then you are not experiencing what some other users may be having for a problem. CLONEDVD2 ERROR: DVDManager 0 Common 0 4294967294 1 ALSO, DVDREMAKE PRO Genrates an Error Message. Like I said in another message, I think the problem MIGHT BE (but I'm not sure) the exclusion of a menu. I just haven't done enough testing. However, if I simply run VTSFIX on the DVD compliation from CXD, the problem goes away, with or without the menu. I'll get back if I find more information. Inthe interim, I have a fix. Thanks for your trying. Gary

THE DVDREMAKE PRO LOG: Importing DVD... Read DVD from: D:\CONVERTXTODVD\DaVinciCode_Trailer1\VIDEO_TS Read VMG vmg_last_sector != 0 (975:VMG.cpp) can't load VMG. Love the application and hope you can find a solution to make this great software invincible. Thanks, Gary

Gary Parent CD Freaks Member Join Date: Nov 2003 Posts: 127	Re: Copying a DVD made by CXD OK. I downloaded 2.0.15.136 from a link in another thread, and it DID NOT fix my problem. CXD still gives errors when you import a CXD created project into DVDREMAKE and CLONEDVD2. Only FIXVTS program will repair the files. The problem has to do with setting NO MENUS in preferences. I gave an example of the problem, why is it not yet fixed if 2.0.15.136 is close to release? CXD Sample Test Clip: http://trailers.divx.com/Columbia/D...e_Trailer1.divx

J J CD Freaks Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Posts: 452	Re: Copying a DVD made by CXD Gary - I just don't understand reason for this topic. Copying DVD made by CxD works just fine. You are trying to EDIT it again, and some programs cough right away. Question is: if you are trying to COPY disk - why are you using EDITING program? Sure I can get lots of errors and problems if I try funny things. Like converting 4 hours of episodes to one DVD5 and then run that output thru NeroExpress or other programs that are re-encoding - usually result does not fit to one disk.

Gary Parent CD Freaks Member Join Date: Nov 2003 Posts: 127	Re: Copying a DVD made by CXD I never burn out of CXD. I mainly edit the project using another program like DVDRemake. The fact remains that there is a duplicatable bug in CXD. The bug should be fixable and the rest will be history. Sometimes other problems get solved with a bug fix to one specific problem. Its the serendipity effect in programming. This is a low level bug, and there is no questioning that. Because your receipe for creating DVDs is different from mine, does not negate my methods as insignificant. Beside, PORTMAC has already stated this same issue has been submitted previously. I am merely reporting that 2.0.15.136 beta does not solve the problem, YET!

Gary Parent CD Freaks Member Join Date: Nov 2003 Posts: 127	Re: Copying a DVD made by CXD I originally had a copy problem that was augmented by an edit problem. Since editing is of higher importance to me, I switched the focus to editing. In fact, they are both branches rooted on the same problem. Ok, there is now an official new release of CXD on their web site, version 2.0.15.136. I tried it with the following clip: http://media.divx.com/comiccon/SatKlingonZog.divx Seems to still fail with CLONEDVD2.

J J CD Freaks Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Posts: 452	Re: Copying a DVD made by CXD Something is badly wrong now. I downloaded and installed CloneDVD2 just to test this. Then I converted your exampleclip with CxD .15. Menu included, no chapters. No problems converting. Started CloneDVD2 - selected "create DVD", selected correct folder and wrote DVD. Tried again, selected "copy DVD", selected correct folder and wrote DVD. Converted again with forcing to PAL, included chapters. Back to CloneDVD2. I tried all options that are on CloneDVD2 first page, I tried that cut/edit that it has, I removed sound, included menu, discarded menu, everytime same result: No problems what so ever!

No problems converting.<< >> No problems what so ever! << If you read my previous messages you will see that the problem only manifests itself when you have NO MENUS in preferences. I think VSO is aware of the problem and I'm sure they'll fix it. Its not earth shattering but its a bug. All I was doing was to report "hey VSO, the bug still exists with this latest release". Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut and not said anything.

J J CD Freaks Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2006 Posts: 452	Re: Copying a DVD made by CXD Okay, more testing revealed what is wrong: When there is no menu included, there is NO video_ts.vob. video_ts.ifo exists. Editors are looking for that .vob and fail because it is not there. VSO can fix this simply by making sure that video_ts.vob is written everytime.
