dvdfab keeps asking for dl disk

[JIPRATT]

I had same problem and found out You have to reprocess the movie. Rip again with the changes set to 4300 or 4472, or what ever you were useing. You can not write (Burn) from the folder you have saved, It was ripped with the wrong settings to high. Pretty sure thats what you are trying to do as you stated you do not have the dvd to retry. I went though all this also.
; The problem is not your drives or version of dvdfab.

You should also update your XP SP2 to SP3 from Microsoft as you might be missing some sort of important update.

Well when you get the movie back let us know as can not help with this title if you not have it on hand to try our suggestions with it

[Dom60]

ok I had updated to the latest non-beta version of dvdfab when this happened and I went back 1 version to try it thinking that that was my problem but its not! others are working...step-son barrowed the movie and then loaned it to a buddy and is now having a hard time get'n it back the movie is Brothers at war


complained to wife about let'n my orig movie disks out of the house!

[W&B]

Looks like you're using version 6205 also, update to the latest final version 6218 or the latest beta. As AGJ mentioned what is the title? I suspect 6205 is having problems with it.

[AGJ]

Could you as well let us know the name of this movie so we could try it if we have in our collection

[Dom60]

well the dvd is a older liteon the cd is ummmm that old lol hell i have a old amd athlon 1700+ for a cpu!


but like I've stated before I have done larger sized IE lower quality do to compression with no problems on this hardware before.
I'm going to try a uninstall of dvdfab and reinstall of the last version and see what happens...I'll let you know ok?

Your logs says your folder is 4.93gb.
As stated before this will not fit on an SL disc no matter how many times you try.

Process the movie again with a lower setting if you have not already done so.
Your post of "It did not work" does not tell us anything of what you have or have not done.

I have nothing further to suggest.

Just one more comment from me... LOSE THOSE DRIVES!!!

One comment I read while researching your drives was that the DVDRW IDE 16X A091 should be bronzed, it's so old...(it's an old Emprex)

And your other drive, the CDWRITER IDE5224 S028... I couldn't even find that much on it... still not sure who made it...

For about $50-$60 U.S., if you shop for a deal, you should be able to replace both drives.

The only way you'll solve your size problem is by experimenting with different DVD5 sizes, and going with the one that works in most cases... but 4.93 GB IS too large for a SL disc.

Post a log.

[Dom60]

well grunion guess what...still don't work

You state your folder reads 4.93Gb. That will not fit on a SL disc regardless of what you have done in the past.

Change your setting or not is your choice .

[Dom60]

oopss typo sorry its 4472 like you suggested and has been there for long time. I have never had it ask for a dual layer disk ever! even when I used cheap staples brand disks! lots of bad disks there I've been using that setting since probably ver 5 or before don't remember when I 1st paid for dvdfab

[AGJ]

try changing to 4472 as that what I use for my setting and never have issue but usually cheap media will sometimes tell yuo to insert DL and you say out of a few 100 discs you only had 4 bad. I have been using Taiyo Yuden and have not had any bad discs out of over 1000. Once you Sony are gone I would invest in some verbatim and they can be found for sale at like Best Buy, Office Max and online at newegg and most of the time they on sale as well and much better than sony. But experiment with a setting between 4482 to 4300 to see what will work for this movie and the blank media you are using for it
