    Serious problem

    Ok making this as quick as possible while still giving all relevant info...

    I have a flight to catch in about 14 hours, and I need to get my project burned to a DVD. The problem is, I can't seem to make it work.

    I used a host of programs to make my DVD files (all the VOB files and TS_Audio and stuff) so I've got them on my hard drive. I also used DVDShrink to take the project and put it in an ISO - so I have either format to work with.

    I tried burning with DVDShrink, but when it got to 100% DVDShrink locked up, and I got a frisbee. I tried using Nero, and same result. DVDDecryptor locked up somewhere in the middle.

    My system specs are:
    Intel Dual Core 3.0 Ghz
    2 GB ram
    Running XP Pro, fully updated.
    DVD Burner lists as "Generic" in my device manager, markings on the drive itself lead me to believe it's an Optorite DD0203. (I know it's overall crap, but it's all I could get where I was stationed when I bought it)

    Media I'm using is brand new Maxwell DVD+R's, non spindle pack (Not sure if it makes a difference, but I like the cases)

    Here's an error report from one of the programs, can't remember if this was Nero or DVDDecryptor.

    (Removed log file for followop post as it made post too large)

    Actually looking at it I think that was the Nero Log.

    You guys have been a HUGE help to me in the past, and I know this is short notice. I'm in a serious bind here. Thanks in advance for all your help.

    (Also I think it might be important to note that I've used this burner before without issue, copying many DVD's and even making complete system backups to DVD. Further, what's baffling me even further is it'll burn CD's just fine. I also had to create a data CD to take along with me on my trip, and it burned without an issue. I tried upgrading teh firmware, but the flash utility says it cannot find my drive which leads me to believe taht Optorite DD 0203 maybe isn't the brand name after all.)

      #1 I would like you to use CTRL-i to see if you can open the ISO in Dvd Shrink.

      #2 If it opens up with no problem, close out of Dvd Shrink.

      #3 Use ImgBurn to burn the ISO.

      If that doesn't work please post ImgBurn log?

          Chewy +10 cool points to you. I remember buying it, it WAS an IOMagic.

          Attempting a burn now with DVDDecrypter. If it does not work I'll get a log of it, and try the other suggestion above Chewy's. If it still doesn't work I'll post pboth logs and see what we can find. Crossing fingers here

            ...is the DVD Decrypter log. It for some reason after burning didn't want to recognize the drive as a DVD drive. In "My compter" it showed it as a CD drive, but in device manager it still showed as a DVD.

            It's ok, I'll re-boot and hope it takes care of that.

            My other question (And I'm sure I;m either gonna get slapped with a "RTFM" or I'll find the answer first, but the DVD plays as if it's like widescreen. Things on the edge are being cut off.

            What aspect ratio should I be using for a standard US tv?

            (Wish me luck on the reboot, I'll check for replies when I get back. Also, gonna take soup's advice and use that other program. It's the one that replaces DVDDecryptor, right? (Same author and stuff)

                Ok, still not finding it - Anyone willing to toss me a bone?

                What should I set my aspect ratio to, or can anyone explain why the sides of my video are being cut off? It's only like MAYBE 1 inch on each side that's being truncated...

                  I found this link but I have no idea if it will help, if not go to search & type in aspect ratio & you might get lucky.
