Julius Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Try different types of media, some work better than others.I use verbatim and most of the time it works.In one of my drives I can't burn HP brand at all for anything! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaplan_reject Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Well get this, just went to make sure that the West disc was working....nope, and I burned it in the exact same way as the East, go figure. It even said that the write process was sucessful, but when I load it into the HU it gives a read error. Ill try a different type of disc, right now im using HP.... maybe that is the problem. East disc works fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wpageabc Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Congrats! what was the secret the speed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaplan_reject Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Set it to burn at 1x, but get this, The East disc went off without a hitch, and has spent the last week in my D3 happily diplaying XM logos, but the west disc went belly up twice. I ran out of disc and just havent gotten around to gettin some more. The ones I had were HP's, may try some Verbatims or anything else I can find at Wally World, when I make it that way, been busy at work lately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
impalacustom Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 What kind of burner do you have? My BenQ will take a disc and read it and show the quality of the disc. For me +R's are the best choice. You should be able to write at half the speed of what it's capable of writing at. Your quality is what suffers at full speeds. I use anydvd which will rip the copy protection off any dvd, data or movie. Then I go to nero and copy image, book write, iso and it works for me. If your using alcohol are you checking the "ignore errors" box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaplan_reject Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Im using an HP computer with a Matisu (i think) burner. Writing with DVD Decrypter but I do have alcohol 120 on hand. Been busy lately with other stuff and havent had a chance to play with them lately, but ill get it figured out one way or the other... Im persistant like that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaplan_reject Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Ok, Finally got to sit down and reburn some disc and I was able to make two perfect good working copies. This time i used Memorex disc; same settings on DVD Decrypter. Funny the HPs were giving so much trouble. Anyway... Just a bit of info for anyone interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yingjai Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 i downloaded dvd decrypter and despite what i read (skimmed) from this thread, it is still free to use someone said iso format does not use mds file, which is true, but for some reason dvd decrypter creates extra file formats when creating iso files. i burnt my working west copy with dvd decrypter @ 1x speed on a FujiFilm +R DL dvd which is really a rebranded Ritek disc. first try no problem. i have an LG sata burner. i'm not going to copy east disc because i won't be needing it anytime soon or ever and i don't want to waste dvds i didn't even need to close anything and i had a lot of crap open... 3ds max, wmp11, photoshop, bittorrent, http server, squeeze center (mp3 server). so FujiFilm / Ritek confirmed working.

Bad_Robot56 Posted April 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I had good luck at first by using DVD Decryptor and my Pioneer DL burner and Verbatim disk, but just this week I tried it again by buring the West disk and it work fine, then after that tried the East disk and ruined 8 disk. not sure if the burner is the problem even tried different speeds and different brand disk with no luck. Any clues on this matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yingjai Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 did you try ritek/fujifilm? make sure ur not using any memory/cpu intensive apps while burning at 1x speed. no need to try other speeds because if 1x doesn't work, others wouldnt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DPV357 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Tried several times to make a working copy of the EAST disk...haven't been successful yet! Used DVD decryptor, changed all the settings to the ones mentioned here...still doesn't work. Now, its saying that I don't have enough free space to copy the disc...after I cleaned up as much as I could on my computer. Is anyone just selling burned copies? Or would they be interested in doing so? I don't see them on ebay...only the sealed ones. I'd rather save myself the grief and frustration instead of the money!

DPV357 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Nevermind...I finally got this to work!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ynguns Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I have toast 6 for mac How can I burn a copy for backup purposes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tmmorris Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 from what i can remeber from mac, when you insert the nav dvd, you should have an option to "Save as Disk Image" from the file menu. Once you have selected this option you can choose where on your hard drive you would like to save the image to. From expierence i suggest you set the burner to 1x for reading and writing. It does take longer however...Using memorex disks i have never had a disk fail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yingjai Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 1x is always recommended. it doesn't take that long really, unless you're staring at the completion bar. surf the web, chat on im, listen to music.. time flies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
