consistent Problem buring DVD to DVD -> Write Data

[kenju4u]

Hi,

I have a DVD video Folder with VIDEO_TS folder which I am trying to burn to a DVD. I am selecting DVD to DVD --> Write Data and then picking the VIDEO_TS folder as the source and DVD as the target.

When I am selecting the source a pop up comes up for a few seconds which is either importing/reading the files from the source folder, it seems to either cancel or not complete the full scanning of the folder because when i hit Start burning I immediately get "Process Failed!". Nothing is ever written to the DVD.

This use to work fine for me but lately I had the same thing happen for two separate Videos.

Can anyone please explain what can be causing this?


Here is some additional info:

- I am using the same Blank DVD's that have worked before
- Windows 7 64bit system.
- Latest version of DVDFab 7
- Tried burning with pathPlayer enabled and disabled with same results.

Use the higher folder, not the VIDEO_TS folder as the source.

I tried that as well with same results

Post the log files (DVDFab Internal and VSO). There was a VSO burning engine update in v7093 that may not have installed correctly. Try a re-install.

Ok will post the logs but I have unistalled and installed multiple times. Also tried installing with the VSO engine checked as well as unchecked. Also installed ImgBurn and tried using that as the burning engine without any luck!

Have you tried playing the movie from the folder on your hard drive to see if it plays ? This would help determine where the problem is.

[kenju4u]

Yeah It plays fine in windows media player but what i realized is that it is a PAL format. I also tried to use converXtodvd to convert it to NTSC format but that seems to be failing too.

BTW will DVDFab have issues if its trying to burn a PAL format? I dont believe it should but want to confirm.

The problems is that its not just this movie, I am having problems with other DVD movies on folder too. I had another DVD5 movie which was in NTSC format which would fail in the same manner. So I am not sure whats going on.

The PAL format is not the problem.

Fab and any of the burn engines should not have a problem with that format.

Instead of using the write Data just use the Full Disc option and use the folder as source and burner as target. This how I burn all mine to DVD

[kenju4u]

Good idea I use to do that too but then I've run into trouble with DVDFab having issues fitting it on the disk. I'll give that a try though.

BTW this movie burns fine with ImgBurn so not sure what DVDFab's problem is.

Trying to connect the dots here...

So to summarize:

>You can decrypt the movies (both NTSC and PAL) ok with Fab, ie., these play fine when played back from the hdd.

>When attempting to burn wiithin Fab, both VSO and Img fail, regardless of which mode you use.

>If you navigate to the decrypted files and use Img as a standalone app, the flicks will burn ok.

Is this correct?
Please post the logs as requested by signals.

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

What are the file sizes of the decrypted files that will not fit?
Please post your settings...
Are you certain you have DVD5 selected?
What is the Writable Media (DVD-5) Size in Common Settings

The devil's in the details...

I have the same problem. I discovered I can burn it faster by using whatever burn software you have and just import the file. Hope that helps, but they need to fix the glitch.

YES


>When attempting to burn wiithin Fab, both VSO and Img fail, regardless of which mode you use.

CORRECT


>If you navigate to the decrypted files and use Img as a standalone app, the flicks will burn ok.

YES IT WORKED!! although it failed when imgbun was verifying the disk works completely fine on my PC. I believe the verify process just hit a snag when reading the disk at faster speeds.


I have tried to burn DVD5 and DVD9 folders to a DVD, both have failed on occasions and this particular time it failed every time i tried to burn the same movie, two different instances of it one was DVD5 and DVD9.

unfortunately I don't have the logs cause i uninstalled and reinstalled DVDFAB after my last try, but I've already tried uninstalled and reinstalled a few times without any luck.

Even if you uninstalled, the logs should still be there. C:\Users\Your Username\My Documents\DVDFab\Log\ and if you're using XP, they're in Documents & Settings.

7.0.9.3

I had some issues too. When trying to backup 2 different movies, DVDFab would just hang up. I reinstalled 7.0.9.2 and everythng is working fine now. Maybe I will wait to update when 7.0.9.4 is released.
