Nero Recode and AOpen 1648 AAP/Pro

[aopenuser]

As far as I can see this is a problem between the way Recode accesses the DVD and any Slysoft filter driver. But this is only for the AOpen 1648AAP/Pro.

The only solution I found was to uninstall all Slysoft products and use DVD Region+CSS Free 5.85 instead. I wonder why this works because this tool uses the DVD43 core.

It was not necessary to un-/reinstall Nero, a reboot does it.

I hope this works, will give it a try.

Thanks for the help .

I have tried dvd43 and while it doesn't lock my system up like anydvd it keeps saying that the disc is copyprotected ???

If DVD Region+CSS Free 5.85 uses DVD43 wonder why the conflict with dvd43 in itself?

Would you consider this a firmwre fixable item or a software compatibilty issue? I would like to make whomever aware of it,if they already are not.

@ravenshield:

The AAP/Pro seems to be the only drive with this problem so AOpen should be addressed.
Even with Drive Region+CSS Free it takes longer to access the drive in Nero Recode than with other drives. Why?
I wanted to buy a non Pro AAP and now I know why. But it was impossible to get one anymore.
There still is no RPC1 patch and not even a speedpatch, or am I wrong?

[ravensheild exp]

Yes, i notice when the disc is loading via Recode it takes twice as long to access it.

There is no other firmware or patch for this drive.


Netwegg.com has the AOpen 1648 AAP (non Pro) Rom, but it is out of stock, i have already been put on the wait list. Is the AAP as fast as the AAP/Pro? This drive is unmatched in rip speed with DL discs.

@ravensh(i)e(i)ld (?)

I have read many forums and it seems the non Pro version is the best drive you can('t) get (I don't even find it at ebay). It is at least of same speed and accuracy. It also has an Audio Play button, a phone jack and a volume tune, so it is more worth the money. Finally you can get patched firmware for it.

I use my Pro for audio rips. There are faster drives for audio extraction but at least the rip quality is 100% and the C2 feature is save. My old Toshiba 1712 was an example of an unsave C2 implementation.

An example rip of an outer disc track (EAC secure/burst):
Liteon 52246S 38.4x/38.4x
AOpen 1648 AAP/Pro 14,5X/31.6x
Benq 1620 Pro 13.0x/29.8x

ravenshield, can you tell me your mainboard chipset? I want to know if the Pro anomaly occurs on all systems. Thank you.

I just use my rom to rip dvds and there is nothing on the market that i'm aware of that rips DL's as fast as this drive.

Here is a listing on ebay for an AOpen 1648 AAP, i just bought one, but they have another 14 for sale. It's a little more than i can get one at Netwegg.com but who knows how long i'd have to wait.

ebay item number 5196436445

Reply from Nero on this subject...........

Please update your Nvidia drivers and uninstall any of the Elaborate
Bytes software to assist in this issue.

Isn't this the maker of Anydvd as well?

If so, then why is Nero asking me to uninstall products that do not conflict with there software when using them with another drive, just this specific drive.

Who should i make aware of this problem, Nero or Aopen?


To review: My PX716,PX712,Sony DW22, Pio DVR107 all work with Anydvd and Recode..........the AOpen 1648AAP/Pro does not.

All drives, including the AOpen work with anydvd and DvdShrink or any other burning software i have.

The AOpen does not work with DVD43 and Recode either, yet all other drives do, yet the AOpen works with DVD3 and any other burning or encoding engine.

The AOpen "DOES" work with DVD Region+CSS Free and Recode and this is the only combination that i'm aware of.

So, who should i complain to? I am using a trial version of DVD Region+CSS Free and hate to buy to full version when i have AnyDVD already or can use DVD43 as well.

The picture of the ebay auction shows the Pro version. Are you shure you will get a non Pro?

[ravensheild exp]

yes i contacted and seller and they assured me it was the AAP non Pro.
