VCDEasy 1.0.8 - CDRDao feature is disabled

[zorrinn]

Folks

I had this burning tool VCDEasy working fine. I used to burn many ripped DVDs. Recently I formatted my system so I had to re-install the application. Now it says that the CDRDao is disabled. I don't remember what I did when I previously installed and used it. But now I am stuck. Please help me out. Thanks.

Goto Setting. Click VCDEASY setting
Then select "Enable CDRDAO Integration".

OK I installed the Newest version of VCDEasy after reformatting my hardrive..it says that the burning option is disabled and I tried your advice but I don't see any option...everything in the CDRAO window is greyed out..?

if you installed win2k or winxp make sure you installed aspi drivers cause they are need for cdrdao and those o/s dont install with aspi layers

In VCDEasy, in the bottom right corner, does it say ASPI seems valid: yes, or ASPI seems valid: no? If it says ASPI seems valid: no, that is your main problem. In that case I suggest you go to: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/frcaspi.cfm , download the ForceASPI drivers, install them and reboot. If after you reboot, it shows "ASPI seems valid: yes" then on the CDRDAO settings page, select generic-mmc as the force driver for the CD Writer, select your specific CD Writer in the dropdown menu for that section and check the force execution box. Now you should be able to burn using CDRDAO, which is the CD burning program built in to VCDEasy.

I have the version 1.1.4 the newest version...this one doesn't say anything about ASPI Drivers...I know what your talkin about though but it doesn't say anything about ASPI drivers... All it says is No CDRDAO ?

DivXerouS:

With the latest version of VCDEasy I noticed you can use Nero's ASPI layer. If you have Nero, have you tried switching to the Nero ASPI driver to see if this fixes your latest problem?

[Anonymoususer]

so I just install Nero and burn using VCDEasy...because I really don't want to use Nero because I was Kinda having a similar problem, the SVCD would be made BUT it would come out all jerky...I posted a summary about the problem on the SVCD Authoring area but didn't get any reply...BUT i will try your method..

Ok..I installed Nero Version 5.5+ and rebooted..it says that my ASPI.DLL file in the Windows folder has been replaced with an older version...? what the hell..I have Windows 98 Second Edition, I have everything upgraded...and if anyone know where I can get the latest ASPI Driver for this please tell me..in the meanwhile Im searching Microsoft.com for help...

[Anonymoususer]

OK found an alternate way to burn....made an Image File using VCDEasy and burned it using Nero..everything seems to be working great now...

[MpegEncoder]
