    Recode doesn't work if using two drives

    I would usually use AnyDVD and DVD Shrink-Imgburn to burn with no problems at all. I have always used two drives. The DVD movie in one drive and a blank DVD in the other.

    I then tried the same thing using Recode 2 instead of Shrink-Imgburn. At the beginning it shows the movie being brought in to compress/edit. So far so good. The problem begins when actually trying to start the process. Recode sits there for a minute or so and then an error pops up saying it failed.

    If I do this same thing putting the DVD Movie in the burner (instead of the 2nd drive), Recode 2 has no problems, it just asks to put in the blank DVD when the burning starts.

    For some reason it appears that when using two drives, at the time of the process, Recode is looking for the DVD movie in the burner instead of the other drive (I'm guessing here). This is even though at the begining, Recode initially pulled the movie from that second drive into the display windows (including watching it fly by in the preview window) to be able to compress/edit it.

    I then tried this same process with AnyDVD off (using a movie without the copy protection of course). Same exact thing.

    It even does this if you try to Recode it to a hard drive first instead of the directly to the burner. Recode simply will not encode from that second drive.

    Dunno how the guy missed this when he is the same one who wrote DVD Shrink. Using two drives works perfectly using DVD Shrink.

    I've read in other forums that Nero is aware of this problem.

    I have no issues while using DVD43 using my Toshiba DVD-ROM drive to read discs and using my Sony DVD burner to burn them using Nero Recode 2. I've got my burner set to master and the ROM set to slave on the secondary IDE channel though. How do you have your drives set?

        I'm curious on this DVD you have one one drive (the one Recode is reading from), is it not copyright protected?

          It does not matter. Using AnyDVD on a copy protected or not using AnyDVD with a non-copy protected. The result is the same. I've tried it both ways.

          Recode will encode it if the movie is in the burner. It will not encode it if the movie is in the second drive. DVD Shrink will encode the same thing regardless of what drives it's in.

          What's weird is at the beginning, Recode 2 will open the movie (running it through the preview window) from that second drive fine. It's only when you start the recoding (and/or analyzing) that it won't read from that second drive. Put it in the first drive (burner) and it will do it with no problems. Same movie using DVD Shrink will encode from the second drive just fine. This is either using AnyDVD or not (copy protected or not).

          I'm not the only one that's experienced this. When this first happened, I was stymied. I read on cdfreaks forum about this same issued and that's when I read posts about this 2 drive issue and read that if just using the burner, Recode 2 would work. I had never done it using just one drive so I then tried it to verify and sure enough it worked.

              Latest version 5631. It makes no difference though. It does this regardless if AnyDVD is running or not.

              Here is the log after Recode 2 failed (this is with the movie in the second drive, and a blank in the burner). This is with AnyDVD off with non-copy protected disk. For this one I was just trying to get Recode to go to hard drive instead of straight to the burner (even though it would still put temp files on the hard drive if going straight to the burner and then erase automatically afterwards).

                  You got 3 drives? Dunno, pick any other one than the burner (if you're trying to reproduce the error).

                  I have two drives. One DVD rom and one DVD burner.

                      Shrink sees all drives, regardless of protection.
                      Considering who worked on recode, I wouldn't think a company called slysoft
                      could get past him if he wanted to stop them.

                        Huh? That's a completely different problem that what I have. In mine Recode 2 sees a copy protected disk fine with AnyDVD running. Just won't encode from the second disk (DVD Shrink will).

                        Try this. Turn AnyDVD off. Put in a movie that you're already copied (will not have any copy protection).

                        Then try it with the movie in the drive that is a slave. See if you get the same error I do. Then try it again with the movie in the main burner to see if you still get the error.

                        Yours is a bit different than mine cause your drives are all burners (plus you got 3!). Dunno if that would make a difference or not.

                        Why the hell do you have 3 burners? Just curious.

                          well I threw all my dvd-rom drives away years ago, the combos are gathering dust, stuck a test dvd I made the other day in the slave(benq 1620 scanner)
                          recode opened and analyzed.

                              Why the hell do you have 3 burners? Just curious.
                              One is a fast ripper, one is a superb burner, the last is an excellent scanner.
                              but I have 3 computers, we won't go there.
