6.2.1.8 - Cannot open a second DVD

[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.

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 !

[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.

@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 ?

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

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

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

So??? Win 7????

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

[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 ....
