avatar dvd to dvd "process failed error 102"

[gabbynswiss]

just purchased avatar yesterday standard dvd version. Halfway through copying process i get a "process failed error 102" with the old and new versions of dvdfab. the disc is brand new and has no scratches on it at all. is anyone else having this problem or have any suggestions why this is happening?

[Guest]

Error 102 is a readfile error.

Are you using V 7040?
Are you doing movie only or full disc or ?

Do you have a log to post?

There should not be a problem as several of us have done backups of this move with no problems using V7040

Try cleaning the disc, I just got thru doing this movie R-1 full disc using 7.0.4.0 path player always enabled and had no problems whatsoever

What region?
Please specify versions/application, etc.
Are you using retail, freeware, etc., etc?

You can take a look at this thread, protection info is posted for both R1 (post #17) and R4 (#20).

yes i am using version 7040, and did main movie like i always do. i really am not savy with technical terms and such i apologize. how do i find the log to post it? how do i know what region it is to answer your needed details MAINEMAN..?

The log will tell us many things including the region.
Since you are in the eastern U.S. I think you will be region 1.

Look in your document and setting folder for a DVDFAB folder and the log will be in it. Just do a copy paste if you are not sure how to use the attachment feature.

Your locale.

or I guess I could have cheated like my pal Gruñón.
Nice one, Gruñón...

Re: the logs...

The default location is:
C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\DVDFab\Log

I know there are 2 different Blu-ray discs for R1...Fengtao cracked one this morning and probably has the other cracked by now.

Maybe there's more than 1 version of the standard dvd too, although this is the first I've heard of it failing with 7040.

Please run through the list I mentioned above...
again, the link is below in my sig

i got it to work. i used "scratch out" and cleaned it good and it worked. i don't understand how it could have been dirty cause i took it right out the new package and popped it into dvdfab. but when JIMBO said to try cleaning it i figured it couldn't hurt and it worked! so sorry for taking up anyone else's time...thanks!

Even new disks can have residue left on them from the manufacturing process.

Outstanding!
Nothing to apologize for...all you did was ask for help.
Glad to hear you got it to work

[signals]

That code indicates a read error. Please post all your logs.

//EDIT// Or not since it is working.

9 out of 10 times when a new disc won't read it is dirty even though you can't see it like GregiBoy said and the other 10th of the time it is a bad press, Anyway glad that you got it copied and welcome to the forum if you haven't been welcomed before
