DVDFab doesn't detect DVD files on my new pc

[maineman]

Sorry, just thought of this...

Just thought of this...
Go into Fab > CommonSettings > Read
What I/O Mode are you in?
It should be in Auto or SPTI. Even VSO now uses SPTI as its access layer.

Try all 3...what the heck

You know what guys, I have downloaded a whole bunch of free CD/DVD burning programs and they all have problems with this drive. It may just be time to get a new one. I have been using this one for at leats 4 years. It did start getting louder lately. Going to get a new SATA one today.

One little side question:
This burner I have is recognized in Explorer and I can copy files from it. I could just copy the files, paste em to a folder on my hard drive, and use DVDfab's "Free DVD" program (to strip the protections) for the ripping part. right?

Maineman - tried your recommendations. still nothing. my family's from lewiston and auburn

Excellent decision

Sorry scotty,

These are copy protected discs correct ?
You can't copy the files to any location without decrypting them...
a process known as ripping.

Let us know what happens after installing your new burner.

Were you able to figure out how your burner is cabled and configured in your bios?
