have 1100a and had cyclic redundancy errors when ripping & burning with dvd decrypter & nero 6 or stomp record now max
now use dvd shrink and x-oom movie clone - no cc redundancy probs
and no coasters

[cwpaters]

The cyclic redundancy errors normally come when i am burning a backup movie!!

I have read lots of posts and it seems to be popping up with the NEC1300A drive more often than others!!

Though a new drive should sort it out?

what software u using to rip & burn ?

[ardglass]

what software u using to rip & burn ?

[cwpaters]

Movies are normally downloaded from the torrent network

Size usually around 4.3GB

and use Nero 6 to burn

When ripping original/backup i use smartripper or DVD Decrypter
then use DVD Shrink for the originals then burn all with nero 6

Any probs there?

[ardglass]

as i said i got cyclic redundancy probs using nero.
u dont need any other ripping programmes when u have dvd shrink.
all i can suggest is that u try another burning prog apart from nero.
x-oom movie clone has ginen me perfect burns

[cwpaters]

Does x-oom movie clone just burn too??

for example if i had the files already on my hardrive?

where can i get x-oom movie clone??

[ardglass]

yes x-oom movie clone is a burning programme.
burns from hdd or from dvd on the fly.
i am in uk and got mine from pcworld.
do a internet search for it

can be downloaded www.x-oom.com

I also have the nec 1300 and haven't made a coaster yet. What kind of discs are you using? What firmware version are you on?

[cwpaters]

Kupton

im not making any coasters is just if i wish to copy the copy again as the originals is wiped from my hardrive it give me difficulty on occasion

I use 1.08 and 1.09 firmware

I was having trouble making a copy of a backup when originally ripping with dvdshrink 3.0b5. I reverted to 2.3 and that seemed to solve the problem. I did a test with 3.1 and that was ok also. Have you tried the new version of shrink?

I think that if you are using bulk media then go with the Pioneer. I don't have any problems with my NEC-1300a and I don't really think there is a better drive with comperable spec (4X dual) out there when using good media, ie TDK, Maxell, Memeorex, Fuji purchased locally.
