Coasters and more coasters

[Harryford]

Hello i have been using dvdxcopy platinum and I have used tmgenc dvd author and nereo to burn my backups and most of the time I just get coasters with errors all the time. I have used imation ritek0g3 or something like that and I have been usign maxell dvd-r's with a emprex dual format dvd burner and all the time I have been getting coasters. HELP what should I do to stop this.

why dont you try clonedvd free trial i use that programme and its always worked for me especially with the ritek disks also give dvdshrink a go that will also do the job good luck p.s try using a few dvd+-rw just till you get the right programme that suits you and works alright

i author in tmpg dvd author then use nero6.0 and bring up the dvd tab,select dvd-video,drag your audio_ts and video_ts down to the burn box and with a dvd-r(which i think nero only supports) ive never trashed a disc yet.

I have heard nothing but bad reviews of DVDXCopy because you cannot make custom discs - I have dabbled with CloneDVD and DVDShrink and would recommend either of these to encode and then Nero to burn. I use Nero Express and within half a dozen clicks I'm burning. I haven't had any coasters as yet ! The jury is still out on CloneDVD but DVDShrink is freeware so I have stuck with that !
