Trouble burning

[mistermitch]

Will try that when I get home from work today, or tomorrow.
I'm also going to download ImgBurn and see how that works for me.

[bean55]

I use nothing but Imgburn and have had no problems for a long time now.

This does not help troubleshoot with the VSO burning engine by recommending Imgburn.

Don't know why it's parsing, but it's probably trying to do the verification stage. But you're ejecting during the parsing process which is not a good idea.

Are you using an admin or user account? I notice the VSO burning engine is still using Patin-Couffin driver, instead of advanced SPTI interface. If you log in with admin privilege, VSO burning engine should be using SPTI, which is what Imgburn is using; otherwise, it will use Patin-Couffin driver.

You might want to do a clean full uninstall and reinstall the latest DVDFab beta. Check your burn option in the settings.

[bean55]

On his first log he was using Patin-Couffin but the second log shows him in SPTI

Perhaps when he re-installed the older ver 6.0.6.0 he did it under admin but not when he did the newer version. Something to look at.

Should try the newest version and make sure he is under admin when installing.

troy512, can you tell me the method for using the older VSO with the new DVDFab 6.
Thanks

as the others have said, the error you are receiving i have not seen before. also i only use ImgBurn.

dvdfab 5 and dvdfab 6 install to different folders.

in the dvdfab 6 folder rename vso_hwe.dll to something different, ex. vso_hwe.dll.old

copy the dvdfab 5 vso_hwe.dll and paste into the dvdfab 6 folder.

[mistermitch]

Thank you everyone, using the DVDFab5 VSO burn engine in DVDFab6 seems to be working. I still would like to know why the new VSO burn engine will not burn correctly with my computer. At least I have a work around for now.

[troy512]

i dont know why the new VSO will not work. here is the log from their site.

• new burning vso_hwe.dll SDK 4.0 ( include several old bugs and improved support for SPTI on Windows 7 configuration )
  
• Burning SDK - 4.0.0.424
  
• New Enhanced SPTI interface
  
• better drive locking mechanism, other minor fixes
  
• 0002894: [Feature Request] Add notification for media parsing (wesson) - resolved.
  
• 0002895: [Bug] When burn error is reported, the percentage were the error occured is wrong (wesson) - resolved.
  
• 0002592: [Suggestion] Always an extra comma after last burn speed in the logs / Available write speed: 8x, 6x, 4x, 2x, (wesson) - resolved.
  
• Burning SDK 4.0.2.428 ( increase long write in progress timeout)

Thank you everyone, using the DVDFab5 VSO burn engine in DVDFab6 seems to be working. I still would like to know why the new VSO burn engine will not burn correctly with my computer. At least I have a work around for now.

I'm guessing you meant to type Img instead of VSO (above, highlighted in red).
Img is a more robust burn engine...as bean55 says, it's all that I use too, unless I'm trying to reproduce an error or otherwise experimenting.

Good to hear that it looks like you're in SPTI. You might find that a better quality media will work just fine with VSO.
At least you're up and running, partially anyway...

[maineman]

I'm just noticing on your last burn log:

2009-09-17 05:50:57 Info Using SPTI interface

But also,

2009-09-17 06:00:08 Info Using Patin-Couffin driver Version 1.37, Internal revision 37 Async. Access mode.

Please go into device manager and at/near the bottom, find and expand VSO to display patin-couffin driver. My bet is that you'll find multiple installs.
Regardless, uninstall all instances of patin-couffin driver.

At this point, I believe it's reasonable to go ahead and just d/l and install the latest Fab version 6.0.7.0.
Later on if it becomes necessary, we can worry about doing a clean uninstall.

In XP, it'll look like this:

[mistermitch]

Only had one instance of patin-couffin driver. Uninstalled, burned using older version of DVDFab 5. Great, used SPTI interface, no problem:

The patin-couffin driver is back in device managment? Now what? The disks now play in my stand alone DVD player, this is good, but something still doesn't seem right.

...The disks now play in my stand alone DVD player, this is good, but something still doesn't seem right.

Anything specific or just a vague notion that something's not right?

Media ID: MBI01RWG 20
This is the only thing I would change, but you've heard that tune before.

As I'm fond of saying,

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Glad you're up and running smoothly.

//Edit//
Re-reading here,

Why did you go back and use Fab 5?

[mistermitch]

DVDFab 5 is the last version that worked flawlessly for me.

Thought the VSO burn engine was supposed to use SPTI interface, not patin-couffin?
I'm still getting this warning:

Forgive me if I am missing something, just getting confused.

@mistermitch,

You have not answered whether you installed and ran 6.0.7.0 under admin or user account? I'm baffled why it's still using Patin-Couffin driver instead of SPTI unless you answer the question.

The 6.0.7.0 log shows that the burn is successful, just the finalisation warning that you may ignore I'm not sure. You just have to play the disc to see everything's ok. As have already mentioned, the quality of media used is important too - we can't stress it enough.

Another alternative is to uninstall the Patin-Couffin driver so the engine will have no choice but to use the SPTI interface. I haven't tested this option, so you will have to do it and report back. Use this tool to do a clean full uninstall:

http://download2.vso-software.fr/CleanVSO.exe

I have also alerted VSO about this thread. If the problem persists regarding burning, they recommend that you contact them directly and reference this thread.

http://www.vso-software.fr/support.php

btw, you might want to upgrade your XP to SP3. It helps to stay up-to-date.

[mistermitch]

Yes, installed and ran v6070 under admin. I am the only user of this computer and I am an aministrator.

I did an uninstall in device manager of patin-couffin prior to d/o v6070, but after installing it was listed again? Will try the tool for the clean uninstall.

I will upgrade to SP3 and purchase better quality media in the future to see if that helps.

[toaddub]

I did an uninstall in device manager of patin-couffin prior to d/o v6070, but after installing it was listed again?

That's because during the installation setup, you choose to install VSO burning engine which will install Patin-Couffin driver. That's fine, you can uninstall with the tool I referenced anytime you want.

Does your DVDRW play OK, despite the minor warning, based on your last posted log? If it plays OK, then there's nothing to worry about. Besides, this is a RW after all. You're planning to burn to a DVDR right?
