okay I recently used latest versions of both to backup up 7 of my DVD's and it worked perfectly. But now after a fresh install of XP Pro w/SP1 I cannot get it to work. It seems to rip fine and perpares to write to disc. It works for about 7 or 8 minutes and ejects disc and gives error code DVD9 etc....(at work now will post actual error when I get home). It actually writes about a half inch of data (from center of DVD) and then gives said error code. I just write the movies and not extras or menues. It worked flawless before and now it doesn't. Any clues or help would be greatly appreciated. THanks.
