Problem burning with brand new TDK DVDRW

[saintbebo]

I have read everything I can find about this DVD drive and still I can not figure out why it is having problems. Here is a typical log file from a failed attempt using DVD X Copy Plat 3.2.1. Since I have not been able to copy a fully compressed movie, in this example I tried to only copy part of the movie. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. BTW I am using TDK DVD media appropriate to the drive speed. What happens everytime is that the DVD begins to copy and then anywhere from a couple minutes to 10 minutes pass before it fails.:

Before puting the blame on the burner, I'd drop the crappy DVDXCopy software and make a backup using DVD Shrink, have it output as an ISO image, then burn the ISO with DVD Decrypter. Both programs are free, VERY stable and reliable, and are superior to DVDXCopy anyway.

P.S. - your error message says right there that it's not 'finding' two of the main EXE programs, which is obviously a problem. If you still insist on using DVDXCopy (don't :P ), uninstall then reinstall it.

BTW I am using TDK DVD media appropriate to the drive speed.

I don't know your burner, but I read it can write to DVD+/-R @4x, to DVD+RW @2.4x and to DVD-RW @2x speed.

Which exact TDK DVD media are you using? If it is 1-4x DVD-RW, then it could be a compatibility problem. The 1-4x DVD-RW media (Version 1.2) are not backward compatible to 1-2x DVD-RW (Version 1.1) media and cannot been recognized by older burner models with old firmware.
