select setting CopyCD tried image (from HD) ---> can't select DVDdrive as target

Need help for newbie

Thanks

[ghoster]

well if it is a iso file then DVD Decrypter should work

[VideoMann]

It's a game ISO not a DVD image.

[ghoster]

well DVD Decrypter burns more than just dvd images. as long as it is a iso file it should burn either on a cd or dvd.

[VideoMann]

I got a DVD+R drive do you know if it supports DVD+R drives ? Most free software support only DVD-R.

[ghoster]

thats a good question i only have tried dvd-r and dvd+rw both work great. well if you could always contact them though emial and ask. just open the program and go to help...

[VideoMann]

Thanks ghoster!

you mean you tried dvd-r and dvd-RW not dvd+RW?

[ghoster]

no i mean dvd+rw i got that new sony burner that supports all four

[VideoMann]

No, I can't use it because it will not allow you to choose a source. It automatically assumes the source is a DVD drive. Doesn't have an option to load an ISO file from HD.

[ghoster]

thats odd i have some iso files on my hard drive and all i to right click and i have a option where i can select burn using DVD decrypter

[VideoMann]

Is that the only DVD burning software you have installed?

I just put a DVDmovie and it won't even copy the main movie VOB files. Probably due to copyprotec.

[ghoster]

well the only dvd burning software i use is Nero and DVD Decrypter. i use DVD Decrypter to rip the movie to my hard drive to encode to a smaller size if its over 4.7 gigs. if under 4.7 gigsi use DVD Decrypter and make a iso image form the dvd movie that is in the drive then burn the iso image to a blank dvd. as for nero i create new vob files after i am done encoding and burn them onto a blank dvd using nero

[VideoMann]

Well...I don't know what to say. It won't alow me to search for a folder as a source (ISO image file) and with a DVD movie it will copy all the VOB files to the HD but not the main movie VOB.

[ghoster]

what mode do you have it in IFO FILE or ISO. if its in FILE it should select the main movie if not is should be pretty easy to find

[VideoMann]

IFO File. It selects it but won't copy it to the HD.

[ghoster]

are you using your dvd burner as the drive you are using to rip from? my sony burner won't rip the whole movie either so i had to use my dvd rom that came with my computer in order to get the movie to my hard drive.

[VideoMann]

No!
I place the DVDmovie in an HP-DVD+R/+RW drive, then launch DVDdecrypter which recognizes the DVD rewritable drive as the source. Select a folder Video_TS on my HD and tel it to decrypt to the HD.

no read-only DVDROM involved

[ghoster]

that could be your problem because if i stick a dvd movie into my sony dvd burner it won't rip the whole movie it will get a error or stop ripping. so i had to resort back to using my dvd rom drive in order to rip the movie.

[VideoMann]

Couldn't I just open the DVD with Explorer and just copy the files to the HD ?

[ghoster]

you could it takes longer and sometimes it dosen't work

[VideoMann]

I'm doing it now, it takes about 6-10min.

Don't see much use for dvd-decrypter

Wow I can't believe nobody answered the poor guys simple question. VideoMann you're not opening the ISO file in Nero properly. Do this:
1) Start up Nero
2) When the wizard pops up asking you what type of CD you want to burn select "cancel"
3) Now at the top menu bar choose "File -> Burn Image"
4) Find your ISO file and Voila!

LEE BEAR'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!

[VideoMann]

OK guys

I did burn the ISO image using Nero as instructed and the burning went fine. All the folders and dll's appear on the CDRW(finalized).

However when I launch the CD, I get an error saying

G:\ "Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed"

then I click OK and nothing happens.

Hmmm???
