DVDFab will not burn to disk.

Robert_Conklin

I have downloaded and installed DVDFab Copy version 9.1.0.6. It creates back ups of my movies to my hard drive just fine, but will not burn the image to a blank disk. The software hangs up and will not progress past 0% completion. Can someone lend a little insight to the problem? Thanks in advance.

Post your internal and burn logs.How to is in the link below my post please include these any time you have a problem with Fab.

Try changing the burn engine to the DVDFab engine and slow the burn speed to 4x. You could really do with some better blank media too.

glenns

Robert_Conklin:In addition to 90312's recommendations your using old firmware with your drive so update your drive's firmware often they make new firmware to work with more brands of disks and fix any bugs.Read all directions on installing new firmware and go to the drives internet sight to get it.You can also burn the disk with img burn if Fab won't work.Your using A102 version of Firmwear update to A103 or if there's a latter version for your drive.

Robert_Conklin

GLENNS AND 90312...thank you for the info. I have completed changing the burn speed. I am currently using the DVDFab burn engine. I tried to change to IMGBurn, but am told that the software cannot be found. Is that a seperate program? I am currently trying to find the firmware update for my drive, but cannot find it. Even on the MFG website. Any suggesstions

90312

ImgBurn must be installed to the default location for DVDFab to find and use it. I assume you've downloaded it and installed it on your system right?

glenns

Here's the free img burn program link http://download.imgburn.com/SetupImgBurn_2.5.8.0.exe
Once you download and run the program click on (write image file to disk) now up on the top look for tools click on this then drive then check for firmware updates so if their are updates it brings you to a download page for your burner drives firmware this is a easy way to do it.If their are no updates then don't worry about it.

Now go into fab settings and select Img burn for dvd burner and then do the same for blu ray burner now the img burn burner will load from the fab program when the burn is called for make sure you put a blank disk in the drive before hand.

In img burn settings check preform OPC before write see screen image this will do a test burn on the blank disk in a area not used to set your laser power to the disk your using so it will work with more brands of disks this sometimes helps.

I'm having the same issue as u are. I've Uninstalled it and re-installed it a numerous of times and for awhile i thoght that i was the only person having these issues, but it's not apparently so? I guess i'm in the same boat as you are,for a second i thought i was loosing my mind or i have forgotten how to use my Computer. lol, lol....

Jeep le rippeur

Did you used imgburn too? Personnally the burn of my blu rays don't work with this burn engine (seems to crash for the finalization, but with no entries in the logs), and vso engine is faster for me than dvdfab one...(half time less)

Robert_Conklin

Nope, your not the only one. I am in the process of finding the firmware upgrade for my burner. Once that is installed and tested, I will let you know the outcome.

Robert_Conklin

I have not tried IMGBurn yet. I have to download it while I am at home, the firewall at my job prevents it. I was going to try the VSO engine tonight and see if there is a different outcome.

glenns

Robert all you have to really do is get better blank recording disks.Your log shows error's that your drive can't write to your disk the disks your using are crap i am telling you this to save time as theirs no guarantee that new firmware will help but good disks will fix your problem right now.

Ritek is junk, take verbatim.

If you need firmware for your drives, you should be able to find it here.

You will need to know the manufacturer and the model number of your drive.

ゲゲゲの鬼太郎

Also, the best disks you can purchase for your money are manufactured by Taiyo Yuden which is a Japanese company.

This Wikipedia page has some information under "history" and "Recording Media"

Last I knew, there are only a very small group of companies which manufacture Recordable Optical Media. Then what happens is the media is often times sold in auction lots to other corporations which then Re-brand them with their own Brand. (do they still do it by auction?)

There is a very handy piece of software (I don't recall the name) which can read the media code which can be found along the hub of each disk. Wish I could recall the name. It's very useful for cataloging different brands as to what manufacturer, type of disk, type of dye, speed rating, etc....

Maybe someone here will remember or know what the software is. :)

glenns

Your drive is old have windows search for new firmware and drivers in device manager as there's versions 1.02 and 1.03 but these are not from the drives internet sight and contain other junk and toolbars you don't want and I don't trust them.

The firmware link provided is a trusted sight and the same one img burn uses for firmware updates.Your drives not on it I looked already for you.

ゲゲゲの鬼太郎 :Img burn can tell you media type.

ゲゲゲの鬼太郎

LOL

Forgot that Imgburn could do that, but at the same time, the software that I was referring to was a lot more useful in the information it could provide on the various recordable disks, not just the manufacturer.

As for Taiyo Yuden disks, the Wikipedia article mentions there are some companies out there which have been illegally using Taiyo Yuden media Codes on their disks to make buyers think that their disks are the real deal. But you'll pay for it in lost data when the dye layer breaks down in 8 months (+/-) or so.

Must be an old or re-branded drive if it's not listed on that firmware site, I've used that place for years only rarely needing to search manufacturer sites.

As it is, hard drives are cheap enough now that I just copy everything I want to save to hard drive. I've currently got about 10 TBs of Japanese Anime and I've got more on disk which hasn't been copied yet. Now I'm contemplating redoing my entire collection from DVD rips to .Mkv to save space.

Well, let's hope that Robert and Jeep can get their problems straightened out.
I've contributed what little useful information I could in way of a reputable firmware site and best disks to use. :)

glenns

ゲゲゲの鬼太郎 :Is the program your thinking about called Media information?

ゲゲゲの鬼太郎

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, went to bed shortly after my last reply.

Been doing a bit of searching this morning to try and find what the program was and there are several media reader programs out there which seem to do the job.

DISCInfo from 2006 seems to be familiar. There is no installation needed and no registry entries either.

Another one is DVD Identifier with the later version being from 2009 including BlueRay support.

I just downloaded both of them but haven't had the chance to check them out yet. had to change IP addresses several times to get past Open DNS to find one that OpenDNS wasn't blocking because some OpenDNS users from those addresses were not letting the addresses go after they were done with them. (Dynamic IP addresses) One of the domains I needed to acccess was blocked because some idiot had it classified under Adware and even though it was not blocked under my OpenDNS profile, it is on other profiles.
