despicable me failed burn

[dafudge57]

Sorry folks but I am a newbe to blue ray burning. I have the reg dvdfab for years and now trying blue ray fab (registered). I ran program and it went to my hard drive then unlike the regular fab it said finished. So I then re programed it to burn from HD to my new burner. I got to 59% 2 times and 2 times I made a coaster. What am I doing wrong??? Please help.

It sounds to me like you copied a blu-ray movie that was larger than the disc you used to burn it with. After you copy it to the hard drive, you have to reconvert it to ensure it will fit on a single layer 25GB disc, if that is indeed what you're using.

Hi dafudge57
You posted the internal logs but you will need to post the burn logs as that is where you said Fab failed.

So I then re programed it to burn from HD to my new burner. I got to 59% 2 times and 2 times I made a coaster.

here is the burn log sorry

One thing I always suggest is to use the main movie feature. This will save a significant amount of space on a single layer (25GB) movie if the original disc is a dual layer (50GB). This way you can also select to convert the audio to non-HD and save more space. If you still need to save more space yet, you can always adjust what chapters are put onto your new copy and completely remove the end credits if it doesn't bother you all too much. I can guide you through all of this if you need help. Again, select 50GB disc option (even if you have 25GB discs) as this contains the top quality internal options of the software, and make sure your target is your hard-drive and not a disc. This way you can try to take it into ImgBurn or VSO as write data and see if it fits. If not, you can always re-encode from your hard-drive which will ALWAYS be better than re-encoding while copying from the disc. Hope this helps.

Hi dafudge57
Sorry for not getting back sooner, logs show
010-12-31 11:00:58 Info Write started 22345056 sectors to write
2010-12-31 11:00:58 Info Writing speed requested x8.0, effective x8.0
2010-12-31 11:00:57 Info Available write speed: 8x ,4x ,2x
2010-12-31 11:00:57 Info Media ID: VERBAT-IMc-00
2010-12-31 11:00:57 Info Media type: BD-R Sequential
2010-12-31 11:00:57 Info Ultra DMA mode 5 (ATA100)
2010-12-31 11:00:57 Info Scanned files #3449, folder #39 - total size 45742488675 b. (42.60 Gb.)

If you are using SL BD-R disc's you will need to compress this file down to fit on it....to do this
1- Rip to hard drive either as full disc or main movie using the BD50 setting as your output file...make a folder on you C:drive
2-Next take that rip as your source and using the BD25 option this time and compress from there making your compressed file to another destination on your hard drive
3- Now take the compressed file and burn to disc with Fab using the write/data mode or if using ImgBurn write files/folders to disc.

Now for burning you have the option to use the VSO engine in Fab or most of us use ImgBurn, it is "free" and to use it you will find it here along with instructions on setting it up http://forum.dvdfab.com/showthread.php?t=33
For burning set the AWS in ImgBurn to 1/2 the rated speed of your disc's Always burn at 2x or 4x for Blu-Ray disc's.
Hope this helps you
