No matter what BR I copy, they stop at 11.64% read and sit for hours

[bobmitch]

I have three blue ray drives and they all do the same exact thing. Pioneer BDR-2208, BDR-207 both SATA and my Samsung SE-506AB. No matter what disc I am reading...no matter what drive reads it...they just stop. I took a couple of screen shots. Once the read speed drops to 0, the program no longer shows it....just the % read. It will sit there for an hour if I let it. Can't seem to read anything that requires decrypting or shrinking. Turned off CUDA and same result. New Nvidia drivers 310.61/64. No joy and no success with version 8.2.2.2 either....

What can it be????

Windows 8

bobmitch, post an internal log that might tell the story.

[bobmitch]

That's the odd part...when I go into Users\Username\My Documents\DVDFab\Log...

There is NOTHING in there. No log, nothing....I don't get any of this. It starts to read the disc normally and then stops at 11.64%. Read speed drops to 0 and nothing else happens. No log, no errors, nothing

BTW...I am running Intel Rapid Storage drivers 11.6 (the latest). My OS drive is a Samsung 830 SSD, and my D drive is a 1 TB 7200 rpm Hitachi. In the program setup, I created temp directories on the D drive for DVDFab to cache it's files...but still should have no bearing. The program worked for years on Windows 7...but somehow...not on 8.

[bobmitch]

OK...I started a copy straight to my hard drive and it still locks at 11.61%. I can never rip (when having to shrink down the size)...Cars, for example is 27GB and has to shrink down to 22GB to fit a BD25. It works normally until 11.61%, then the read speed drops to 0 and the program just sits there. I have to cancel and finish...nothing ever gets done...whether 9.0.1.1 or 8.2.2.2, same for both. There is obviously something going on. Read the log that it created and see nothing...maybe you can...DVDFab is totally unusable on my system with Windows 8...

Can you clone a disk to a folder or an ISO without problem?

Looking at your log file shows me it is still trying to use your GPU for encoding.

Not sure how you disabled it (nvidia drivers or within DVDFAB or both?) but try again and open the log file as soon as it is started to make sure its not using GPU and is software only transcoding. Also make sure you have plenty of disk space where you have set DVDFAB to use as temp.

[bobmitch]

The problem I have is that I can't get DVDFab to read any disc past 11.61%. I will disable GPU and go with straight software, which I have tried with no success. Let me see if it will generate a new log...


OK...this is what I get when I disable CUDA and keep everything strictly software. I did an upgrade to Windows 8, and everything works fine...except DVDFab and Nero Discspeed, which now only recognizes one of my drive, not both Pioneers...odd stuff...

I have filled out about 5-6 of these error reports and sent. Even emailed tech support...no joy!

[bobmitch]

Not that it has anything to do with Blu Ray Copy, but I was able to copy a DVD, successfully. Must be something to do with 9.0.1.1 and it's BR ability. Odd thing...8.2.1.8 functioned normally on Windows 8 until I installed v9. Did 9 break 8?

[SuperFist]

Please don't wait for hours at the same percentage. If the number doesn't advance at all after 10-15 minutes, there's a problem.

[bobmitch]

OK, so I let it go for just over an hour...had other things to do and forgot it was still going. When I came back....was still stuck in the same place. The ability to do a DVD tells me that maybe there is an issue with the Blu Ray copy part. The first time I used it, I was able to get the read part to 100% and nothing happened after that. Then, since, I can't get past 11.61%. Something very problematic here. As I stated earlier...I was using 8.2.1.8 fine, even in Windows 8, until I installed 9. Now both don't work right...for BD

This is starting to sound like a pooched install to me. Try uninstalling both versions and running ccleaner on the registry until it doesn't find any errors. It took four times on my W8 machine.

Thought you might be on to something. Uninstalled both and ran ccleaner. Then I cleaned out my registry of everything DVDFab. Reinstalled only 9.0.1.1 and tried to copy Cars again. Read speed was actually up to close to 12mb/s which was a big improvement...things moved along and stalled at 11.77% and then just sat there. Cancelled and going back to the drawing board...

Hi bobmitch
Try it now with Cuda disabled.
Have you also tried cleaning the disc?

Can you do a BD Clone to folder or ISO Yes/No?

Could you ever do a BD Clone with this or any other version of DVD Fab Yes/No?

You need to work out if this is a DVDFAB issue or a hardware issue with your drive, so far you posted lots of stuff without answering some critical questions that will help us help you...

No, I can't clone to a folder or .iso. The problem is when it is reading and converting, it stops at 11+% and reading ceases...the program just stalls. I have a five month old Pioneer BDR-207 and a one month old Pioneeer BDR-2208. Everything was fine with Windows 7 and 8.2.1.8 and even when I upgraded to Win 8. Once I had both versions installed, neither one worked properly. What questions

When I disable CUDA, the program crashes on startup...
