Problem with burnt dvd made from .iso file

[dwcliff]

I've used the option many times to successfully make a burnt dvd from just the 'main movie' of a movie dvd, but have made a couple of 'coasters' while trying to do the same with the move Ratatouille. I have used DVDFab 7 to create the .iso file of the main movie. I've then used Nero 6 to burn the .iso file back to dvd. When I play the dvd in my computer it works fine, but I can't get the disc to load in any dvd player i have. I know the disc type is fine and all the previously burnt dvds I've made play without a problem, but for some reason its not working on this movie. Both DVDFab and Nero are showing that everything has worked without a hitch.

Even after retrying the process several times I've managed to create several burnt dvds that have the same problem.

Any suggestions!

If you are posting about an operational problem with one of the DVDFab products, you will improve the speed and accuracy of the response by providing some information in the very first post that will probably be needed.

First, make note of any error codes or messages that appear in popup boxes and put them in your post. Information on error codes that appear in the DVDFab UI are captured in one of the logs we request below.

DVDFab keeps logs of its activities that supply basic system information and can help pinpoint where and when an error happened and help pinpoint the cause. The default location for these logs on most Windows systems is:

C:\Documents and Settings\your username\My Documents\DVDFab\Log

The logs are simple text files that can be opened with Windows Notepad if you want to read them. If the size exceeds the forum’s attachment size limit, you may need to delete older entries or copy and paste the relevant ones into a new file. The log files can be attached to a post using the "Manage Attachments" button below the editing box.

dvdfab_burn_vso.log Attach for all problems. The entries are time stamped with the most recent at the top.

dvdfab_burn_imgburn.log Attach if you have ImgBurn set as the burning engine and the problem concerns disc burning. Time stamped with the most recent at the bottom.

dvdfab_process.log Attach if DVDFab crashes and the crash report window does not come up or complete correctly or if internal error codes appear in the DVDFab window (“Task Failed…”). Time stamped, most recent at the bottom.

dvdfab_internal.log Attach for all problems. Time stamped, most recent at the bottom. Please edit to include only the most recent or relevant log session.

Other Information:

Depending on the nature of the problem, it can help to know:
If this happens with all discs or just one
Your operating system/CPU/memory configuration
If you are using external hard drives or optical drives
If you have made any recent changes to your OS or system hardware
If you have other DVD or BD software installed, particularly if recently added.

I am using Verbatim DVD+R discs and all my dvd players can play DVD+R discs without incident until this time.

For a start, you are burning too fast.

General rule of thumb, use half the rated speed of the media.

Also, always upgrade to the latest beta version of Fab, currently 7.0.7.9

[dwcliff]

Well....I think I''ve figured out that my problem isn't hardware or software related, but is a problem with the media instead. Every attempt to burn on the Verbatim DVR+R discs are not working. I found a DVD+RW disc and burned from the same .iso file and everything worked fine.

I just hate the fact that I have purchased a box of DVDs that appear to be unusable.

Try lowering the burn speed like GregiBoy mentioned since max burn speed is 8x lower it to 6x or 4x and as well give ImgBurn a try and here is a link below to a tutorial on how to configure ImgBurn to work with dvdfab. Watch the youtube video for easy install



Those are verbatim that you have so not waste money but you are burning them too fast

[dwcliff]

Where in DVDFab do I lower the burn speed?
