v6.2.1.8 Reading problem?

[vagreys]

I've been using DVDFab for years, now, and have never seen this happen, before. Running v6.2.1.8 under Vista Ultimate SP1, using Imgburn 2.5.0.0 as the burner. I was trying to backup The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Brett) Disk 4 (two 42 min. episodes), in Clone mode. The read and write took much less time than usual - about 3 min. to read and about 5 min. to write. Normal time to clone a single-layer disk is about 11 min. to read and 12-15 min. to write. I checked the backup and the main menu came up, as expected. I selected the first episode, and when it started to play, it reverted to the menu, but I could hear the soundtrack for the episode playing in the background. Same thing happened using Full Disk mode.

I reloaded the original disk, and switched to Customize mode. It shows one title available, 24 sec. long. Neither episodes, nor titles for special feature content are listed. At the bottom, for the disk type it shows total data of 51mb to transfer.

I downloaded the DVDFab Virtual Drive and checked the temp ISO file and it behaved just like the backup disk.

So, I checked the original disk with Imgburn. Nothing unusual found. I created an ISO file from disk. It took about 12 minutes. I played the ISO file in the Virtual Drive. It played normally. I burned the ISO file to disk using Imgburn. The backup plays normally. So I have a valid backup, just using Imgburn.

Question: Why couldn't I make a normal backup through DVDFab, using Clone, Full Disk, or Customize? I made backups of the other four disks in the set, yesterday, with no problems.

Welcome to the forum! Have you tried the new beta, (7.0.1.2)?

[vagreys]

Thanks. I was here, before, but apparently inactive long enough that I was deleted while I was away on a contract. No, I haven't tried the current beta version. We got the original set a few years ago.

No problem. When I asked about the new beta I ment the DVDFab beta, you can download via the following link,



Not sure if this could be relivant but how old is your burner? Have you burned lots of dvds/cds with it?

It is good practice to always try the current version when you have problems such as this.

The download links are in the main page of this forum for both Beta and Production versions.

Also, try Pathplayer disabled/enabled.

vagreys I would also suggest updating your vista to SP2

I'll be happy to, when they can assure me that the "upgrade" script won't corrupt Vista and force a complete re-installation of Vista and recovery, or overwrite all drivers with generic versions and force me to update all drivers manually.

As it turns out, the pathfinder sliders got reset to default values at some point. Once I adjusted the sliders to where I had them (450 sec. and 5 VOBU's), the problem cleared up. By then, I had already made a working backup through Imgburn.

Thanks for the suggestions.
