Just updated to latest version

[bluraydude]

I have now figured out I needed to reregister, I am used to putting movie in and writing it, then it asked for a disc to copy and burn, now it just says finished, how do I go about getting the movie onto a blank DVD, I see things have changed a little bit, I am back to my PC to try this, can anyone explain in english terms how to go about putting blank in and letting it to its thing

[bluraydude]

I have never gone to my hard drive and grabbed the movie there, i have always just inserted the DVD-R and it automatically does its thing, so this is new for me, thanks for anyones help

It almost sounds like the activation didn't stick and you're in trial mode.
Do you have full functionality otherwise?
For eg., can you select Customize mode and modify the file content or is this restricted?

Please click on the ? mark icon (upper right of initial splash screen), select About from the dropdown
and tell us waht 's displayed re: your license, expiration dates, staus of the modules.

Do not post product key info

license xxxxxxx
exp sept 2012

it says enabled, I will try the registration key again

Thanks for the response!

I just rebooted, when I click on FAB icon it says failed to initialize burning engine, seems the culprit to my problem, I am attempting to reinstall software to see if that fixes, any suggestions?

it takes me to the download key screen, not sure what to do, I thought just entering the key into the ? area would be enough, clearly i am not doing something right

So the DVD Copy module is enabled and displays the appropriate exp date.
Sounds like VSO is the culprit (the default burn engine that comes bundled with DVD Copy).

What version are you using?
If you haven't, please update to v.8011 Beta (link near the top right here on the forum).

If this still fails or you want to avail yourself of a much better and more reliable burn engine...Imgburn...like most of us (I believe all the mods),
please click on the link below, in my sig:

Setting Up ImgBurn and DVDFab to work together
You'll find an excellent video tutorial and some other tips such as setting up Automatic Write Speed...well worth the few minutes to set up.

Well I uninstalled and reinstalled and now I am showing a VSO in the dropdown, but now it is asking for double layer and my DVD-R is single layer and always has been

This was the problem I had last time, any answers, at least we are now showing a burning ready to happen

Alsmost there I hope

[bluraydude]

I think the last try was in DVD9 format, I am now trying DVD5 to see if that fixes it.......I was reading older posts and maybe thought this might help, too much stuff I dont understand in some of these posts

well let you know if this works, is there a difference in single and double layer by using the DVD 5 or 9?

Yes, if you select DVD9 you will only be able to burn to a DVD DL disc, on the other hand DVD5 will compress the movie so that it will fit on a sindle layer disc
