[color=darkblue]Instant copy and ATI RADEON 9000 video cards

[mol3000]

Here we go from the begining ::: i have 2 win 98 se machines, i put instant copy on both of them. Well one of the ones i put it on was my main machine and for some reason it always kept freezing up at a certain point and the other machine it never freezed up. This also even happen after i updated them..... basically the same thing..... until i upgraded the videocard of the machine it worked on wit the same video card tht i have in my main machine a few days ago.... now it also stops and freezes at the same point tht my main computer does..... i caried it right back to the bb and exchanged it for another brand.... i havent retested yet with new videocard because of other reasons but i need to no how can i get this to work right on my main computer since i seem to see what the problem is.!!!!!!! i thought ati cards was suppose to be the top video card out!!!!

give us some specs on your computer and make sure all your drivers including the radeon 9000 drivers are up to date then we can try to help you

Ok, before we go ANYWHERE else, do you relize that Windows 9X cannot support files larger than 4 gigs? DVDr's are typically about 4.3 Gig and cannot be burned from an ISO file. Idividual VOBs will burn but you cannot use instant copy for this cause if you recombine finished product the resulting final ISO is >4 gig. Now, IF you leave them as individual .PDI files you can use 9X but it still blows. You can ONLY burn with the instant copy software itself. Consider Windows 2K or XP first of all.

Worse yet, any ISO file you have that's bigger than 2GB... is bogus already. Everything over 2GB is just trash data. If it's viewable at all or anything like that it's sheer dumb luck and you should in no way expect it to continue working.

Win98 != DVD. Period. Get a real OS.

yes all my drivers are up to date especially my video ones.... my main computer is more powerful then my other computer tht it doesnt work on.... like i said it has to be something with the videocard drivers because the machine tht it was workin on was workin for about 6 months or more with no problems until i put tht ati card in...... also i dont let it go to iso or whatever .... i basically take the ifo file then let it covert and it burns str8 to dvd

Win98SE is a good place to start. Consider Windows 2000.

Dude, what we're trying to say is we have NO idea how you made it work in the first place. I wish I could help you, I really do. But I have NO idea how to even go about trying to duplicate a DVD on a FAT32 system. None. Zero. Zip. Nada.

The fact that it used to work for you is amazing to me, and I have no idea how to replicate that success.

I'm very sorry.

HideOut the DVD can be over 9 gig's windows 98 is fine with it the vob file's are about one gig. You can not have one file be 4gig's on wondows 98 but is the file's are cut up then it's fine. I do not use windows 98. Windows 2000 I use. in NTFS one file can be well over 120gig's

Hey Gurm
You ever see any file on a DVD bigger than 1 G ?
I used to do DVDs all the time on winME

have you tried unistalling IC, installing your graphics card then reinstalling IC?
regarding other DVD backup software I suggest you try DVDShrink 1st as it gives very good results

I'm surprised you do not know how to copy a DVD on a FAT32 system

do you use ISO mode for your backups?. Personally I'm not so keen on ISO's as you cannot get access to your files for slight modifications before processing or burning

there is nothing stopping you from burning the files using Win 98/Fat32. ISO's are not a necessity when doing a DVD backup

I guess my other FAT32 system is really running NTFS when I use Instantcopy

i thought ati cards was suppose to be the top video card out!!!!

With a thread already a page long, let me be the first to ask the obvious question: What does the ATI card have to do with IC7 ? They do not use each other for anything.
