Hello,

Decrypt????? If they're dvdr they don't have any enctryption on them. Just use normal disc copying procedures. It's already the size of a dvdr so just copy it to the harddrive.

u are failing to understand im using dvd-decrypter to take movies from disc and putting them onto harddrivr but with these 8x discs its saying wrong media inserted the movies work on stand alone dvd player but i want to copy the movie onto harddrive is there a firmware i can use for my 4x pioneer drives to read 8x discs

Hello,

Well you didn't mention that....

A firmware upgrade would probably be a good idea. The pioneer website should have one.

Have you tried dvdshrink yet??? It would just do a straight copy - no compression since it's already dvdr.

So what you are saying is you have some films that have been put onto 8X media and you wish to put them onto your h/d.
The speed of the disk should make no diffrence if you are copying to your hard drive. 106 is a duel format drive so it should handle both + & - format disks Ok.
Just put one of my 8x disk i have used to back up a film and it plays and copies OK in my 105....
Just use windows to copy files to your hard drive unless you are making a iso of them.

The 8x is for writing. It has no bearing on reading. If you have issues reading it then its probably simply the media (dye....) is not very compatible with your drive. Try cleaning the lens.
