DVD Copier Crashing...

ReRIPping and decompression/recompression. Or has it escaped your notice
that it takes a good deal of computation to squeeze the contents of a 9.4
gig dual-layer commercial DVD into a 4.7 gig single-layer consumer
recordable?

decss'ing is cpu light operation. Transcoding is not very cpu intensive
either, Celly 2 will be just fine, we're not talking about hours here.. if
he was re-encoding the mpeg2 video to mpeg4 or similiar activity then more
cpu horsepower would come in handy.

I think you are the one who doesn't seem to know much about computers if you
compare 2 Ghz Celeron to 486..

I agree with Andy. I experienced similar problems with DVD X Copy.

I'm currently trying out a new program, 123 Copy DVD. It's much easier
to use so far and has successfully copied every DVD I've tried, 10 or
12 of them, including all the extras. It hasn't crashed once so far,
knock on wood. It's annoying to have shelled out the bucks for DVD X
Copy, but at least 123 is only $20.

Andy also mentions DVD Shrink, check it out, it is also v. nice piece of
software..

Meant mr. McDermott, not Clarke, who was spot-on.

Hi,

Hoping I can find some help here...

I recently installed a dvd burning and am running into some problems.
I have a Celeron 2 Gig processor and 1 Gig of RAM plus ample hard
drive space. Whenever I try to copy a DVD using DVD X Copy or
DVD-Cloner the program almost always crashes leaving me with a nice
collection of fairly expensive drink coasters. When I go to task
manager and check the processing stats while copying I see that the
CPU usage is 100% without let-up. I'm guessing the problem may have
something to do with this. Will a better video card alleviate this?
I'm not even sure what kind of video processing capability this unit
has but since it was originally intended for just word processing, I'm
guessing it's not much.

....

In case you haven't already found a solution...

Have you checked that DMA is enabled for the drive? Often, accessing CPU
usage when creating DVD/CDs can be traced to using PIO rather than DMA
to do the drive accesses.

Good luck.

That’s what happens when you are hanging around with people like Paris
Hilton & Lindsay Lohan.
Britney Spears has been trying to show off her vagina for quite a while
now.

..and don’t you even try to say it’s an accident.
