Instant Copy : Multicopy.exe error

[chsrao]

I get Multicopy.exe error. I have seen some threads how to fix it. I tried but couldn't.

Is there any other software I can use?

Thanks

[noki]

DVDShrink free

A broad question like that is a little like calling your doctor on the phone, telling him you got hurt and expecting him to tell you how to fix the unspecified injury.

What are you trying to do when you get the error? Do you get it everytime you try to use it? Which version?

[noki]

if you don't want to use Shrink, but you should, re-install IC.

BObk,

Here are some details which I didn't say...

1. When I copy a DVD which is less than 4.7 GB ( using Roxio Software ), never I face any problem. No Complaints.

2. Roxio does copy DVDs more than 4.7 GB. Any one knows if the latest one does?

3. Now, If the DVD is more than 4.7 GB I use Instant Copy 7.1.X . This works fine for some movies and for some movies I get MultiCopy.exe error. Here the quality is good for the films I could complete succssfully.
Now the question is there any way to fix the issue?

4. Then I downloaded the DVD X COPY trail version. This one successfully burns the DVD (>4.7GB) but I can't play in my DVD player, DVD-ROM. Only my DVD+RW can play it. The Video Quality sucks. Did anyone face the same problem?

5. Now I would like to know any other softwares which can burn DVDs which are greater than > 4.7GB.

Thanks

hey buddy use noki's advise n use dvdshrink it will solve all ure problems or u can use tmpgplus n dvd2avi.

[MackemX]

what is the exact error it reports?. Is it the one that wants to send to MS?

can you take a snapshot?

IC7 with the hack can remove titles but DVDShrink can't. I guess sometmes free ain't the best option for people. If it was wouldn't everyone be using the free tools all the time? There would be no need for commercial software as most stuff out there can be done for free if you look hard enough and decide to put a little effort in . Then again time and effort ain't 'free'

don't get me wrong I love DVDShrink and I loved IC (once), I just use whatever suits my needs at the time

[chsrao]

Yes its the same error which says that it will send to MS

[MackemX]

I can't help much unless you can post a pic of that error or copy it to a text file when you view the details of it

does it always happen in the same place?

more details may give me a better idea of what it is

can you explain what you mean by removing titles? cuz Shrink does remove titles, at least by my definition. thanks.

[MackemX]

I mean selecting a title to be removed, nothing special

you cannot do this in DVDShrink but you can in IC7 with a simple registry hack . Whether the IC7 DVD will work all depends on your DVD player

whether a title is removed in IC, or not included in the re-authoring window in shrink...isn't the end result the same (all other things being equal)? are we just splitting hairs here?

????????

we ain't splitting hairs, you've made a simple mistake

where did I say I was removing menu's?

I was wondering what you mean't

[BobK]

"Roxio does copy DVDs more than 4.7 GB. Any one knows if the latest one does?"

The latest Roxio does not copy DVDs more than 4.7 GB. I don't think anything will copy a DVD of more than 4.7 GB to a 4.7 DVD without compression.

"Now, If the DVD is more than 4.7 GB I use Instant Copy 7.1.X . This works fine for some movies and for some movies I get MultiCopy.exe error. Here the quality is good for the films I could complete succssfully.
Now the question is there any way to fix the issue?"

Here's what I usually do. It works for me: DVDDecrypter to rip all files in file mode. DVDShrink to get rid of unwanted stuff and shrink it to around 4.2 GB (I avoid burning much over 4.2 GB- that seems to eliminate a lot of problems I used to have with disks freezing near the end). After shinking I burn with either Nero or Instant Copy- if Instant Copy I create the .pdi file first, then burn from that. (I use Nero when I'm using +R disks- for some reason IC doesn't like to burn +R in my system).

"Then I downloaded the DVD X COPY trail version. This one successfully burns the DVD (>4.7GB) but I can't play in my DVD player, DVD-ROM. Only my DVD+RW can play it. The Video Quality sucks. Did anyone face the same problem?"

I used DVDXCopy for about 4 months earlier this year. I preferred DVDXCopy Xpress until I started using DVDShrink.

"Now I would like to know any other softwares which can burn DVDs which are greater than > 4.7GB."

I'm not sure what you mean by that. If you have a DVD more than 4.7 GB you can't burn it to a 4.7 GB DVD without making the files smaller or eliminating some of them.

Why are you asking about menu's? He didn't say anything about menus. DVDShink will let you remove titles. You can set the start and end point and use any title or part of a title that you want.

??????????? lol , I'll play

Don't the vast majority of DVD's have menus? Therefore wouldn't removing titles from a DVD would leave menu's. You can twist it anyway you want if you like

I think you already know this but this is just in case you don't. If people want to strip menu's from a DVD then they normally ask 'how do I make a movie-only?' or ask 'how do I remove menu & certain extras and only keep what I want?'

I may as well mention that DVDShrink actually does NOT allow you to remove titles. In reauthor mode it allows you to ADD titles including converting menu's to titles You start off with no titles in the reauthoring window so how can you remove them?

the simple fact still remains, IC7 can remove selective titles from a DVD (albeit a hack and when they are not linked) whereas DVDShrink can't. If anyone thought I was talking about removing titles from a menu free DVD then I'm sorry you were misled by my post

why is title removal one of the most wanted features for DVDShrink if it's already possible?

cheers

[BobK]

"Don't the vast majority of DVD's have menus?"

I would guess yes.

"Therefore wouldn't removing titles from a DVD would leave menu's."

It would unless you remove the menus too. But that's really not revelant to this discussion. You can remove whatever you want.

"I think you already know this but this is just in case you don't. If people want to strip menu's from a DVD then they normally ask 'how do I make a movie-only?'"

I don't know that people would "normally ask that. I see a lot of posts here with questions that don't use what many people would consider the normal terms.

" may as well mention that DVDShrink actually does NOT allow you to remove titles. In reauthor mode it allows you to ADD titles including converting menu's to titles You start off with no titles in the reauthoring window so how can you remove them?"

If you start with 5 titles and use the reauthor mode to add 2 titles to a new disk, the resulting disk will have only 2 of 5 titles. You can play word games with the process, but the end result is that you've removed 3 of the 5 titles. But you can remove titles- go to the reauthor window and drag everything to that window. Then right click on the things you don't want and delete (remove) them.

"the simple fact still remains, IC7 can remove selective titles from a DVD (albeit a hack and when they are not linked) whereas DVDShrink can't. If anyone thought I was talking about removing titles from a menu free DVD then I'm sorry you were misled by my post"

I read it as removing titles without regard to menus.

"why is title removal one of the most wanted features for DVDShrink if it's already possible?"

Because if you use only DVDShrink and remove a title then you have a dead link on the menu.

"Don't the vast majority of DVD's have menus?"

"Therefore wouldn't removing titles from a DVD would leave menu's."

It would unless you remove the menus too. But that's really not revelant to this discussion. You can remove whatever you want.

it's more than relevant, show me how to remove the menu's with IC7. When someone talks about removing titles most here will assume they want to keep the DVD as it originally was and not reauthor it. I cannot believe you actually wish to discuss this and try and twist the obvious to show me as the fool, but I'm quite happy to continue

I don't know that people would "normally ask that. I see a lot of posts here with questions that don't use what many people would consider the normal terms.

and what would you consider normal? How would you ask? Here's one of many types of posts I normally see HERE, HERE and HERE

a simple question on the DVDShrink forum HERE says it all as the man himself ddlooping knows more about DVDShrink than most and I dont see him saying you can do it

If you start with 5 titles and use the reauthor mode to add 2 titles to a new disk, the resulting disk will have only 2 of 5 titles. You can play word games with the process, but the end result is that you've removed 3 of the 5 titles. But you can remove titles- go to the reauthor window and drag everything to that window. Then right click on the things you don't want and delete (remove) them.

lol You still dont get it do you? When you START reauthoring in Shrink there are no titles! You yourself have just said it, you are saying to ADD them and then you say you are REMOVING them in the end result. You have never removed them in your actions. You can also add as many titles as you want so you could if neccessary end up with more titles in the final result

I read it as removing titles without regard to menus.

Then you read it and misunderstood just as Noki did, and what is unbelievable is that you still do not understand after reading even more?!?!?. Why not just admit that and be done with? . I have always thought you know your stuff BobK but I have my doubts now

Because if you use only DVDShrink and remove a title then you have a dead link on the menu.

roflmao, BobK either you are taking the piss now or you just don't have a clue. Which is it?. How can you remove a dead link on the menu?. When you keep a menu in reauthor mode the ALL links are automatically removed as it then acts like a title

I suggest you go and fully play with the Reauthor feature before posting again to argue your points. You are begininng to look stupid either on purpose or by your lack of knowledge. If I was to state all I stated so far in every post I ever make here there so that everyone would understand right down to a complete newbie level, then my original post would be as long as this thread!

Why not just admit that you cannot selectively (as in click a box, button whatever) remove titles with DVDShrink but you can with IC7. You can twist it whichever way you want but the fact remains, it is impossible to remove titles in DVDShrink and get a similar working DVD minus the titles. The best thing you can do is choose Still pictures

if you can admit this is the fact then this thread can get back on topic as it is drifting due to your lack of understanding of how DVDShrink currently works

just in case you are still confused let's look at what I said

IC7 with the hack can remove titles but DVDShrink can't

Now that mean's DVDShrink cannot reproduce the same results as IC7 when it comes to removing titles. Nowhere did I mention removing menu's (which you agree are on the majority of DVD's) and it's common knowlegde again that IC7 alone will not allow you to remove menu's. Now seeing as I'm talking about a hack that is also used by most then it can be classed as an option though not officially supported. IC8 actually supports this now but that's not the issue. Show me the option in DVDShrink that allows me to get exactly the same working results when removing (adding then removing) titles in reauthor mode each and every time as you can in IC7. I cannot think of many example DVD's can you?

just in case others decide to jump in without first looking please don't get me wrong as I know and have used methods to remove titles using DVDShrink. It involves the use of 3rd party tools and a little bit of knowledge whereas IC7 only requires the simple hack which I stated many many words ago

wow, my posts are really getting long to explain my inital points. I wonder what it is and this is the exact reason I don't because will anyone read all this crap above just to understand DVDShrink does not remove titles in the way this request is most commonly referred to?

cheers

mackemx I understood the meaning of your post similarly to bobk, that makes three people at least who misunderstood your initial post, so maybe you didnt explain yourself clearly.

[MysticE]

I get Multicopy.exe error. I have seen some threads how to fix it. I tried but couldn't.

Is there any other software I can use?

Thanks

Move up to InstantCopy 8 (many small bug fixes) at $35 it is just about 'free' and produces video quality superior to all the others. I've even set the destination size down to 4400. No need to worry about stripping out a few extra MB's, or filling the disc to the brim, just let it squeeze. None of the other software suggestions can match the quality. It's a little slower, but whatever it's doing, it does it well.

you have to be kidding

look at what I wrote

IC7 with the hack can remove titles but DVDShrink can't

seeing as it is a known fact DVDShrink does not remove titles from a DVD its a very valid statement that you have simply misunderstood. It's not misleading at all. I am comparing IC7's title removal feature to the lack of DVDShtinks. If you wanna disagree and claim it does remove titles then fine. Even if it 'removes' titles it doesn't doing it without removing the functionality of the menus and that I wouldn't class as removing titles in the same way as IC7 does

anyone with a little knowledge of both IC7 and DVDShrink cannot say that DVDShrink can remove titles as IC7 can

I could spend all day on this forum saying I do not know what you mean as your statement is misleading. Why bother if what is stated is true but due to my lack of knowledge it's misleading

try telling that to the guys who really deserve it and see what response you get . I see a lot worse than that on this and other forums yet I don't see you posting your opinions of people's actions there , so why pull me up on something as trivial as this thread?

a previous post by you I just recalled HERE, as you didn't know DVDShrink is a decrypter, which may explain your misinterpretation of the above post or you were taking the piss outta Slumpey as you thought it wasn't a decrypter . I would assume you know your stuff seeing as you post about DVDShrink quite a lot. Maybe you know a little more now

anyway who cares, maybe I've got two minds , and if BobK feels critized in any way I apologise as I also assume he knows the basics as I have also read a few of his posts in my travels and don't class him as a newbie to the game

I'm just an ASSumer

I do hope you understand my intial post now and note how we were not splitting hairs

EDIT I've just noticed BobK's initial post, so ain't we all the same
