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!

Nevermind...I finally got this to work!!!

I have toast 6 for mac How can I burn a copy for backup purposes

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.

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.

I have toast 6 and can't copy the nav dvds at all please help

What problem are you having?

I just used the Cyberlink Power2Go burning software that came with my Gateway FX laptop and it worked on the first try. No decrypting needed, just used DVD to DVD copy. I used the lowest speed setting and a Sony DL DVD+R.

Iam using those same discs but i keep getting errors. even when i went to write mode. it said operations failed and my drive i know is able to burn the discs.

I take it back i tried again and it worked with no problems.

Thanx guys

I used freeware ImgBurn http://www.imgburn.com/

Memorex DVD+R DL

1. Start ImgBurn

2. Create Image AT 1X SPEED

3. Write Image AT 1X SPEED

Voila you have a fully functional working DVD !

I made my copy using Toast on my Mac. Make a disc image of the DVD ... then use the Toast Copy function and use the disc image you just created as the source. I used a DL DVD-R disc and it works fine in the D3.

Thx for the write up I will try this.

Use Image Burn. It's a free download. Set burn speed to 2.4.

I was burning a West copy for a member that broke his original and I burned an East by mistake. if anybody needs an East, I send it to you for $5. with shipping. I use Verbatim dual layer DVDs.

I actually need both but since I live on the East I supposed I should start there

I'll go ahead and post my results in this thread. I used Nero 7 Ultra Edition Enhanced v. 7.10.1 to burn my CNDV-80MT 2008 update discs successfully at 2.4X (that's the default slowest my burner will do). Equipment was a Dual Layer capable Dell CD/DVD +-RW drive (Dell P/N C3284-A00) in a Latitude D610 running Windows Xp SP3. I didn't want to mess with doing it on Vista so I did it on one of my laptops that had Xp. The computer I did it in was equipped with the 2.0 GHz Pentium M processor and 2 GB of RAM. The discs were Sony DVD+R DL. They ran me about $22 at Best Buy for a pack of 10. The first disc I burned was the East one and it ran fine. Took a total of 1.5 hours to burn it with data verification in Nero. When I did the West disc, it failed verification on a small number of tracks, but all was well when I stuck it in the unit (Avic D3). I'm running a second copy now to see if it passes verification.

I should state that I purchased the discs from Pioneer for my parents N4 I'm installing for them over the Thanksgiving holiday. I used the actual Pioneer East disc for my initial update of the unit to ensure that nothing went wrong. I then swapped out the disc with the copied East disc and it was fine. I'm sure it would've been fine using the copied discs for the initial, but after the posts I read in the torrent threads on here, I wasn't going to take any chances.

On a side note, the update itself only wiped out the custom background screen I had on the unit, the custom splash screen at start up I have stayed in tact.

I used Nero Express and worked out great. Thanks to everyone for posting up the great tips.

locate the files that you saved there will be 3 different ones, a CPJ1184_1_A.I00 , CPJ1184_1_A.I01, and the one you need CPJ1184_1_A.MDS this is the one you will use to make the disc with.

 

Ummm... If you rip the disk in ISO read mode, there will be only 1 file, an ISO (disk image) file.

I believe dvd decrypter can create ISO's but by default it simply CLONES the entire dvd structure, inside a folder, while removing the encryption. So if you did this to a regionally encoded or copy protected dvd movie the resulting .vob files in the finished directory would be region/copy protection free.

I too, have been using dvd decrypter for years, in combination with dvd shrink to produce flawless backup copies of nearly all my media. Id recommend it totally if it works

Will someone contact me? I need a west coast disk. My friend just sat on mine today.

is +r media the best disc to use when burning these discs?

thx

i am in the process of trying this now. I did find out from cdfreaks.com that some of the best dual layer media is verbatim 8x +r but make sure they are made in singapore. even though you may buy the same brand made somewhere else, the disc could suck. it could be just another company making them for verb. and relabeling them. i am trying imageburn now. i will post my results when i see if the east coast works.

1st copy worked fine,. now i am going to try the west disc. i used imgburn and read and burnt at 8x. i did read that on the newer burners and the newer 8x discs it is better to burn at higher speeds, the lower speeds produce more errors on the disc because they are trying to burn so slow.

i have sucessfully burned few discs and they work perfect now. I am using Verbatim Double Layer disc, alcohol 120, and the minimum burning speed and it works 100%.

I just down loaded the 2008 east disk off a site. It came as an ISO file. I took the ISO file and burned it onto a Verbatim 2.4x, 8.5GB, DVD+R, Dual Layer disk. The program I used to burn it was ImgBurn and I set the burn speed to 1x, which is the slowest option available to me. It took 40 minutes to burn it and another 30 minutes to verify it.

After it was 100% finished burning and verifying, I put it in my AVIC-D3 and it immediately started to update it. It took a minute and now it's all updated and everything works 100%.

I couldn't be any more happier right now! And it's thanks to this wonderful and helpful forum and the members in it!

Thanks everyone!
