Hi peeky
Your drive is in PIO mode, Open Fab Click the Green √ top right > General > make sure Check for DMA Automatically is Checked and also Click the Reset DMA to the right click OK and restart Fab.

I also believe that you may still have problems with this media.
Error your getting is 122
122 HWS_FAILED_CALIBRATING 22 // Write failed at the beginning of the media (often a media that is poorly supported by the drive)
Try lowering your burn speed to 4X, you may have better results using ImgBurn as your burn engine, you will find instructions in the link in my signature on setting it up with Fab.

Remember to set up the AWS in ImgBurn and your burn speed to 4X.
Hope this helps

Hi CBR929,

First off, thank you for your help!!

What do you mean by:

"media that is poorly supported by the drive"

I have never had issues with either of my dvd drives so I am not sure what you mean.

Thanks,
Peeky

Also, when I go here to download imgburn there are so many links!

What linke specifically on this page am I downloading:

http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download

Thanks,
Peeky

I first tried the fix you told me to do by clicking on green check. I reset, rebooted and tried to copy again.

This time I got task_2failed! Error=106

Is imgburn my only options?

What is error 106?

Thanks

Hi peeky
It is not your drive, but the discs that your using.
I only use quality media "Verbatim discs" for my burns and never have an issue.

You would use this download link Mirror 7 - Provided by ImgBurn
106 HWS_BADMEDIASTATUS 6 // Media is not ready to be written

Was this file that your trying to burn created by DVD Fab?

Your drive also has a firmware update, but we will not focus on that now.

Try installing ImgBurn and setting up AWS in it, just take it slow and follow the directions and post back.
Hope this helps

peeky

which verbatim discs?

Hi,

Which discs do you use?

http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=verbatim+discs&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=3854682921&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=807964663938925317&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_32dsacsjjn_b

Thanks

peeky

Hi CBR929, thanks again for trying to help me

Okay, I tried image burn.

I got the message "This disc is copy protected!"

Copyright Protection System Type: CSS/CPPM
Sorry, ImgBurn cannot read copy protected discs.

So I bought DVDfab to be able to copy copy protected dvd and I can't copy it.

So far DVDFab has been a failure.

What do I do now? Can anyone help me?

Thanks

CBR929

Hi peeky
For single layer discs you would choose this for +R http://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-97459-to16x-Branded-Recordable/dp/B003ZDNZSS/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1358390306&sr=8-8&keywords=verbatim+discs this for -R http://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-97460-Branded-Recordable-100-Disc/dp/B003ZDNZT2/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1358390306&sr=8-7&keywords=verbatim+discs and for DL+R this http://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-96542-8x-10x-Double-Recordable/dp/B001D8OGOO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1358390306&sr=8-1&keywords=verbatim+discs you could also choose these for DL+R http://www.amazon.com/Verbatim-96577-Recordable-50-Disc-Spindle/dp/B0026CN0KW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1358390306&sr=8-11&keywords=verbatim+discs

You do not have to buy them in the larger spindles as I have shown, but, notice where it says AZO dye on the label.
You will "ALWAYS" buy the ones that have the AZO dye on the package label and "NEVER" the data life discs.

Imgburn will not copy a protected disc, if set up correctly it will burn the disc either by itself or in conjunction with Fab.
Hope this helps

Check the post you made. I highlighted what may be the problem. The drive is still in PIO mode.

Hi Gomerz & CRB929

I did the reset dma, is that where you change the pio mode? Or where do you change the pio mode?

Thanks

peeky

Hi CRB929, so when I put disc in to copy image burn is what opens.

So how do I used DVDFab for copying movie and imgburn (I guess) for the buring info onto a blank disk. I am sorry I am so ignorant!!

But what are the steps being that when I put the movie dvd, imgburn is what opens up for the process and than I get IMGburn can't copy protected disc, so I know somehow I need the default to be DVDfab, but how do i tell it to use imgburn.

Thanks for teaching my non tech self!!
Peeky

peeky

As I watch the process it goes:

Analyzing of DVD started
Analyzing of DVD completed sucessfully
Copy process started
Copy process completed successfully

At this point: The movie disk has been ejected but DVDfab is still in action, right now it is

Burn DVD folder (C:\Users\Adminstrator\Documents\DVDFab\Temp|FullDisc|name of movie

Shouldn't this be burning to my inserted dvd?

Thanks,
Shari

using ImgBurn - can't find files - why?

Hi, so I appear to have the movie downloaded to my hdd (via dvdfab) and the disks are ready to be written on a blank dvd.

I believe here is where I would use IMGburn. Question is, I have the files in this format:

VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB

format, but when I use IMGburn, it doesn't find these files in the folder. The folder shows up blank, But I can find these files in my tray and i can play the movie on my computer. But I want to burn to a disk so I can watch on my tv and also put on a portable hdd to give to my friend.

In addition, if I go to my portable hdd and look for the files, i see them but they show blank, and there is no size. But I copied them there but again, shows blank.

All very confusing. Please help me out.

Thanks

Hi peeky
Yes that should change the PIO mode to DMA mode.
Are you saying when you put a disc in your drive ImgBurn opens up to read the disc?
Try opening Fab then put the disc in and see if Fab opens the disc.
If so then choose your copy mode "full disc" or "main movie".
If you have set up ImgBurn correctly with the tutorial in my link, after DVD Fab removes the copyright and saves it to a temp folder you will be prompted to insert your blank media and ImgBurn will do the burning for you.

Edit I have moved your other post back in your thread, please try to post in this thread so we do not get confused as to where we are. ;)
