DVDFab 6.2.1.8 and the previous version (6.2.0.5) both exhibited this same problem - the software fails to open a second DVD. Steps to re-create:- - Start DVDFab and select an option in DVD-DVD, say 'Main Movie'. - Insert a DVD to be ripped. - 'Open DVD Source' appears and DVDFab will identify the DVD. Its volume name will appear in the 'Source' drop-down at the top, and the various chapters will be listed in DVD-DVD 'Main Movie'. - Optionally start the rip process and wait for it to complete. Note that this issue arises regardless of whether you actually rip or not. - Eject the DVD. - Insert a different DVD. - 'Open DVD Source' appears again and DVDFab will start to identify the DVD. However, it appears to stop part way through this process. The 'Open DVD Source' message disappears and the volume will NOT be listed in the 'Source' drop-down at the top, which instead will say 'Please insert DVD disc or choose DVD folder/image file'. This signifies DVDFab believes there is no disc in the DVD drive. Note that you do not need to start the rip process of the first DVD for this problem to arise - even just changing discs without ripping is enough. If you do rip the first disc, the rip process completes fine. Obviously you can't rip the second disc because DVDFab fails to identify it. At the moment, this means that to rip two or more DVDs, you must close DVDFab between each disc. Interestingly, once you've inserted the second DVD and DVDFab has failed to identify it, if you go into Settings -> Info, the second DVD's volume is displayed in the 'Source' drop-down at the top, but the text underneath it says: "Info for drive [E:\] (DVDFab 6.2.1.8) Drive region: 2 Disc is not opened." It doesn't matter which discs I try - the problem exists on all. I have an old copy of DVDFab 5.2.5.0 that once installed on the same machine identifies multiple discs OK. This appears to be a problem introduced with 6.2.0.5. For reference, I'm using XP, Pioneer DVR-115D internal, Path Player: always enabled, IO Mode: Auto. I've attached various log files, plus the DISC.BIN created once it's failed to recognise the second disc.

I have actually noticed this as well on my end. Mine experience is that most of the time it will load a SECOND one, but as you said the Source field does NOT update. The last DVD Label stays in the Source field/dropdown, but the "Volume Label" field however DOES update and shows the correct Label identifier that is on the 2nd DVD I inserted. I hit Start and the DVD extracts ot the folder that was in the "Volume Label" field, unless I edit the name. It's when I do a third for fourth DVD in a row that I get 'Please insert DVD disc or choose DVD folder/image file'. At that point I just kill the app (X, top right) and re-start it and all is well. I've been meaning to post this, I just thought it was on my end, read further. I thought is might have been associated to my virtual ROM tool, "CloneDrive" or another beta DVDFab tool I've been testing . I have been meaning to remove it and put DAEMON back on, just haven't gotten around to it. I saw where and I think it was feng that pointed out in one of the release notes, stating that CloneDrive does not play well with Blu-Ray. So I thought is might be related, not sure, could be the code in DVDFab ? ? Regards,

I've had this problem, for me it was down to another little tray utility causing conflict. Sure you got no other CD utilitys running in the background?

Monty has a good point. You might also try putting DVDFab in either SPTI or ASPI I/O mode instead of Auto. Auto defaults to SPTI on most systems, so try ASPI first. Please post your results.

[QUOTE=Monty68;18778]Sure you got no other CD utilitys running in the background?[/QUOTE]Not in my case, I disabled the beta test tool, only thing left is the "CloneDrive"[QUOTE=signals;18781]Monty has a good point.

I guess my question would be .... why does the "Volume Label" field update and the "Source" field/dropdown does NOT ? It's finding the DVD, just that the Source does not update.I'm running a couple of extracts now to see what happens with it set to SPTI instead of auto !!

Changing to SPTI made no difference, see attached: Departures was the first extraction, then I inserted "THE_SAFETY_OF_OBJECTS". As you can see the "Volume Label field updated but the "Source" field stayed the same. Any other suggestions ? Cheers,

So, I take it you have not experienced this ?[/QUOTE] From your post #7: "Changing to SPTI made no difference, see attached:" From Signals post #4: "Auto defaults to SPTI on most systems, so try ASPI first." Did you try what Signals suggested? DC :cool:

Hey DC (someone in disguise .. :cool:)When I put it on ASPI, all I get is the 'Please insert DVD disc or choose DVD folder/image file'. DVDFab did not find the disc but Win XP (Explorer) does.PS: Sorry , I misread sigs initial post, my dyslexia kicking in !!Side Note: As what iwords stated, I've only had this problem with the past few releases. It did not always do this. The only thing I can remember changing was removig DAEMON and installing CloneDrive (a recommend by an ole friend from ImgBurn)

Appreciate the replies, here are my findings so far... [QUOTE=Monty68;18778]Sure you got no other CD utilitys running in the background?[/QUOTE] I have no other utilities installed, or running.

If I change to SPTI, DVDFab recognises the first and second discs, but won't open the third or any subsequent discs.

[QUOTE=iwords;18829]If I change to SPTI, DVDFab recognises the first and second discs, but won't open the third or any subsequent discs.[/QUOTE]Same thing on my side of the fence !!! I've been just restarting DVDFab.I just joined in to let you know your not alone ..... and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

6.2.1.8 - Cannot open a second DVD

AlienX69

Well hell if I can figure out what the deal is ......

I just installed 6.2.2.0 Beta, still get the "Please insert ....." and DVDfab is hung, have to restart.

Just to clarify as iwords first mentioned 6.0.1.0 does NOT do this, it scans the 2nd disc and updates the Source field properly.

@maineman (or anyone else who cares to test this)
When you get home I would like you just insert 1st disc, let it scan, Source field updates, remove the 1st disc w/o extracting, add a second disc, let it scan, does the Source field update or does it stay at "Please insert ....." and hang ?

CBR929

AlienX69, i WILL TEST IT FOR YOU . INSERT DISC LET IT SCAN, EJECT DISC INSERT ANOTHER. AM I CORRECT?

AlienX69

Yep, remove the 1st disc w/o extracting, add a 2nd disc (different disc/LABEL ID), let it scan, does the Source field update or does it stay at "Please insert ....." and hang ?

iwords

[QUOTE=maineman;19132]Yup, I saw that...he needs to free up some space...;)
[/QUOTE]

That's not the problem, that's just a generic error message. My mailbox is completely empty. Anyway, never mind, we're way off topic here. I'll just stick with v5 until this gets resolved. Thanks for trying though, AlienX69.

Will be interesting to see what the others report, too.

CBR929

AlienX69,First 3 opened up correctly updating source 4th crashed DVD Fab says it encountered an error.

AlienX69

Yep, sometimes I noticed on my end it took 3 or 4 to hang, but I never got and error.

What was the error msg ?

EDIT: So far from my testing, the best STABLE version regarding this issue is "DVDFab6118Beta.exe", the Source filed always updates properly.

CBR929

DVD Fab encountered an error and a screen came up wanting to send info.

AlienX69

What version ?

Try again, and see if it crashes the same

CBR929

Version 6218, same thing 4th crashed. How do I send attachment? Figured it out.

AlienX69

Was it in the same order ? Was 4th previously extracted with no issues ? Just thought is might be new encryption, as I have not encountered a crash, that is something new.

If you would like to test further, try DVDFab 6118 Beta or earlier.

CBR929

No, different order, one that crashed on 1st attempt used that first on 2nd attempt and mixed them up, also no newer encryptions. Will try other versions.

AlienX69

Try 6.1.1.8 first, see what you get, then install 6.1.2.5, of course that's if you have them.

That is the point where I noticed one works and the other fails !

:cool:

CBR929

Tried 6118after ejecting 1st disc and inserting 2nd DVD Fab disappeared from desktop. Don't have 6125.

AlienX69

I currently have 6.1.1.8 installed, it seems to be the version (or eariler) that cures the issue of iwords posted topic "Cannot open a second DVD ".

I will run it until I get a disc that fails because of NEW encryption. At that point I will install the latest Beta and just restart DVDFab as necessary.

Cheers,

maineman

Okey dokey. I won't be home until about 12M, but I'll post back as soon as I'm able.

GregiBoy

I just tried it on my base level portable PC (XP Home, Fab Ver 6.2.2.0)

And it worked fine, no problems.

Inserted Escape From New York - Recognised
Ejected
Inserted From Dusk to Dawn - Recognised
Ejected
Inserted Escape from New York - Recognised & Ripped
Ejected
Inserted From Dusk to Dawn - Recognised & Ripped

Inserted Escape from New York - Recognised

Also tried same procedure on my main workstation (Vista Ultimate, Fab Ver 6.2.2.0) with the same results.

So??? Win 7????

AlienX69

Got me GregiBoy, well then it looks like it's on my end (XP Pro, SP2), you got any suggestions ?

But as you can see I was not alone, iwords is going back to 5.x

CRB929's crashes on 4th disc (6.2.1.8, I think)

Not sure what you mean by So??? Win 7????

GregiBoy

Well, this problem never seemed to rear it's ugly head until the advent of Win 7 and I am suspecting some incompatibilty between Fab/Win 7/Optical Drive Drivers.

maineman

Ok, I did as AX suggested,

"I would like you just insert 1st disc, let it scan, Source field updates, remove the 1st disc w/o extracting, add a second disc, let it scan, does the Source field update or does it stay at "Please insert ....." and hang ?"

All 4 discs scanned appropriately, the source field updates as the drive spins up, almost immediately. No hang. No problems whatsoever.

Again, this with v.6.2.2.0 Beta (retail), Win7 64-bit

AlienX69

Well THX for the test maineman ......

I tried one last thing, I removed all traces of CloneDrive and install DAEMON Tools Lite (my preferred) .

Then I reinstalled 6.2.2.0 Beta, still hangs on 2nd/3rd disc insertion whether an image is mounted or not mounted via DAEMON

FYI:

The reason I was leaning on the virtual drive is every time I click "Finish" (no disc in DVD tray), DVDFab immediately mounts the virtual drive if an ISO/MDS is mounted on DAEMON.
DVDFab works fine otherwise in regards to extracting encrypted discs .... :D
