Lite-On 166S does not work with dvd decrypter

[freedom777]

Hello, I just bought a Lite-On 166s and put it in a USB 2.0 enclosure. When I try to rip a dvd in ISO mode "read", I get a message "Drive is busy". Dvd decrypter works well with my pioneer 106d but the rip speed is slow, so I bought the Lite-On Dvd Rom.

Decrypter recognizes the Lite-On drive because I'm able to select it for the source but when I begin to read, I get the "Drive is busy" message and then my Lite-on external drive is locked and decrypter freezes and I have to restart my pc.

Any suggestions?


Thanks

I don't really know- but if it was me (and if you don't get a reply from someone who knows more than me- which probably just about everyone here) then I'd try plugging it in the IDE cable instead of USB and see if it works then.

I'm able to use the lite-on and the pioneer 106d external usb 2.0 with another dvd backup software and the lite-on is able to read and rip the dvd....I don't know what else to check....I'm using Windows XP and I'm able to use the lite-on with other applications.

I also uninstalled my other drives and only had the lite-on but dvd decrypter still says "Drive is busy" when I try to read in ISO mode.

When I installed the lite-on external usb 2.0, Windows XP recognized it and I didn't have to install any drivers.

Are there some drivers that I may need to install? I really love using dvd decrypter and I'm frustrated that I can't get it to work with the new lite-on.

Please, anyone....help...thanks

Try these tricks:
1.play DVD for one minute in PowerDVD or WinDVD.
2.make sure DMA is enabled.
3.d/l ForceASPI Drivers.

Thanks for the response MovieGeek.

It's ABSOLUTELY an interaction of some sort between the USB enclosure (USB drivers) and the ASPI layer.

I always recommend AGAINST USB for this very reason. I use firewire. But then again, Firewire sometimes has this problem as well. It's sort of a hit-or-miss thing. ASPI just plain sucks, and always has.

It's a problem with DVD Decrypter and the 166.

Here is what Lightening UK ad to say on a forum near you :

Liteon 166 (and some 165) drives are weird and dont work in the same way as all the others I have tested.
The normal i/o key exchange fails for reasons I wont go in to and hence the old brute force method kicked in.
I've implemented a work around for this in the next release.

Maybe v.3.1.7 will be out soon ... until then ... you could try AnyDVD
