Nero Issues

[Stryk]

Hi, am new to the forums as well as DVD Back up. I had been backing up my DVDs, successfully for a while. Now my Nero returns an error after DVD Shrink has finished encoding the DVD. Also my DVDFab Decrypter has slowed down to a snails pace. The error message I get after DVD Shrink is ready to go is this;

This is the newest version of Nero. Also, if I try to use the Nero Smart Star to burn the DVDFab Decrytper image from the HDD, nero home --> Nero recode --> add folders == Nero Not Responding ??

I am not sure what changed or occurred as I was having great success, now I am sunk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I responded to your 1st post.

Thanks for the reply! (sorry I posted twice, wasn't until I posted the first time I realized I was kind of taking over someone elses thread). I was able to get my DMA up to 2 for my Device 0, but not 5 as it reads in the article, and my Device 1 to 2 as well. Should the 0 be at DMA 5?

[ratboy]

The 5 should be on the Primary and the secondary channel should show the 2.

[Stryk]

Is there a trick on getting it to 5? Some way for me to set it to 5? Also, seems good with my DVD Shrink and Nero again, much appreciated

[ratboy]

You are looking at both the Primary and the secondary channels right, not just the secondary #0?

In the secondary channel DMA 2 on both should be fine.

[Stryk]

Tried to post the screen shot of the desktop with the devices, let me try again. Is there a trick to getting one of them to DMA 5? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

CdRomPeripheral : SONY DVD-ROM DDU1615 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: Off
CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164B atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On
DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 7L250S0 iaStor Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On

port 0 usually is the primary and dma 2 is fine for either optical drive

port 1 in this case is a sata drive and disregard dma for it

iaStor

the intel application accelerator can cause all kinds of problems

[ratboy]

OK now we need to see if someone with a little more knowledge on this.

What does your secondary channels show?

Edit: Thanks Chewy, I missed that.

[Stryk]

Just did a test burn, from start to finish. DVDFab Decrypt, DVD Shrink to encode with Nero as the burn engine...Everything is working as it did before, as far as I can tell (fingers crossed). Chewy, you are saying that I do not need to worry about the set up of my DMA, they are correct? When I was getting the errors the Device 0 was set to PIO. Followed the Golden Rules of Burning step 3 to correct that.

Thanks for all the help, and pointing me in the right direction.

[Chewy]

the dma part is fine, but your setup is still an accident waiting to happen

my dvd burners are masters

my sata's are shown as sata's on port 3

hope dell supports that burner?

[Stryk]

I am not sure how much support Dell will provide, did some checking and others have had problems. Any way to change it to a better setup?

Darn, just did another back up and this one failed again, same error as before when Nero goes to burn....Blarg!

Would using +R or -R make any difference? shouldn't this burner do both?

[Chewy]

drop nero and recode for now and test imgburn

lot of dell crap running/sonic/mydvd etc

imgburn even has a tool for turning that stuff off

poor history with those dell drives
