DVD Decrypter burning problem

[The Bronx Bull]

OK, i have burned two dvd's so far with dvd shrink and decrypter, which seem to work fine. I am using DVD-RW's (Memorex) and i went to put the IFO image file onto the dvd with decrypter, and it starts and it says 'Writing lead in' then the write speed just drops to 0kb/s. I've tried this about 3 times, with 3 different discs and it does the same thign every time. BTW, in windows task manager i have decryter set to above normal priority mode, but what does the "BURN-proof" check mark mean in the dvd decrypter window? Any ideas what im doing wrong?

Post your log file from DVD Decrypter.

Internal/External burner?

Latest firmware installed?

OK

Ok, here's the log, at this point it just stops, and the write speed drops to 0.0 kb/s. As for firmware, i don't know what that is, nor do i know if i need it. Thank you

Download and install "LiveUpdate v1.01" from http://www.drvupdate.com/ and perform a firmware update....

There is also a media list there which will let you know which media is compatible with the latest firmware.

Oh Lord - I thought it was a program that updated all brands of burners - but it's only for a certain brand of burners.

To good to be thrue.

i downloaded that, and it does not apply to my drive. I also tried to dwnld the firmware for my exact drive, and that does nothing also. I have that cheap drive everybody gets from office max for 80 bucks. Micro advantage or something. The thing is, i just burned two dvd's like a day ago that work fin, i have no clue whats different about these.

My apologies.... By the description it looked like a drive manufactured by BTC.

Although you said in your initial post that you are using DVD-RW's but in your decrypter log it shows a DVD+RW

My only other suggestion would be to try an alternative brand to Memorex, perhaps higher quality media such as Ritek or Verbatim.

Imagine that!!! That would be an essential bit of software!!

ok thank you

Ok, i downloaded and installed the firmware, which still didn't do anything to help. Still, each time i start the dvd, in this case "The Hustler", it will say "Writing LEadIN" then it will drop to 0.0kb/s,

DMA enabled? http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=101616

[The Bronx Bull]

yea

yea, my DMA is enables, yet i still sometimes get the errors. Whenever i do get the error, it gets stuck on "WRiting LEadIN", yet when i don't get the error, it says "writing leadin" for only about 1 second, then skips to writing image and burns fine. Also, it seems to be that when i burn with a disc that already has a failed write on it, it works fine. ???
