Multiple InstantCopy Errors

[jdobbs]

Is it me, or is everyone getting as many errors with InstantCopy as I am.

1. It seems to often "hang" while I'm working from a set of files that have been ripped to hard drive. It just gets stuck and I have to kill the process.

2. Tried to do "ET" the second disk. I get an error "External Exception C000001D" and stops.

3. Tried to do "Cosmos" disc. I get another decipherable error "The owner SID on a per-user subscription doesn't exist".

So far it has hung or failed on more discs than it has worked on... The program sure seems to be buggy!!!

I'm using the full version 7.0.0.91

i'm with ya

1. Sid problem I only get while in Remote Desktop...just making the connection forces the error...i believe their protection may have something to do with it only working for a single profile???
2. it keeps crashing on multiple titles with various internal errors during the audio or video stripping...it is repeatable though...i get it at the same point on the video...
3. really no support available...but i am just using the demo.

sticking with cce for now.

12 backups with the demo on two computers...no crashes. One uses a AMD Thunderbird. The other is a Pentium 3. I usually do a fresh boot before starting each one.

I've done 4 backups without a problem using full version 7.0.0.91

Shawshank Redemption
Hedwig and The Angry Inch
Baraka
Eagles - Hell Freezes...

So far every copy worked without a flaw. Don't know if it's because I kept everything on the disc (subs, extras etc...)

Received "The owner SID on a per-user subscription doesn't exist" error during a remote desktop session.

4 backups meanwhile

no crashes at all

only little prob here is "size"

output either too small or too big

too smal regular when keeping dual lang (.de & .en)

too big when keeping one language (.de)

so always "final adjustment necassary"

jdobbs, where did you get the full version? Did you purchase online? I am looking for a downloadable version that I can purchase.

I have done 9 backups and not one single issue. I even did OZ season 1, works perfectly.

Everybody who says "everything works", please try this:

I too thought some of my InstantCopy burns were peachy, until I tried to actually watch it across chapter breaks on a standalone player.

With PowerDVD or WinDVD, all is well.
With my standalone DVD player, I actually had some chapters get skipped. ie. it went from ch. 15 to 19 on one of my burned DVD's. This wouldn't happen on my PC.

If you just "tested" your DVD's by skipping chapters to verify quality, you wouldn't see these issues.

Please check your discs. Jump each chapter, then rewind 10 seconds, and let it play past the chapter break.

I think I'm going to rebuild a system from scratch and see if there are conflicts with other loaded packages.

Regarding errors:

Seems to be an error if you try to write to a full DVD+RW (from the encoding process, generating no .pdi), it will give you the option of erasing, but after erasing, it exits out... This only happened to me once, and I haven't tried to reproduce it yet.


Regarding size issues:

Keep in mind this is for the most part a one-pass process, meaning that file-size is never going to be exactly predictable...

Has anyone else co-oberated what Valnar is reporting? I seem to have no such issues on my disks...

I will test out a backup I made today of a disk containing 3 episodes of my so called life.

That would really suck if there are errors causing chapter skips.

How can DVD2One make DVD's around the 4.37Gb mark, sometimes with only a few MB to spare?

hopefully IC will get better in time when it comes to filesize predicting

From what I can gather, DVD2One applies a more or less constant reduction across the entire movie, where InstantCopy selectively reduces frames.

@jdobbs

I installed InstantCopy on my girlfriend's computer earlier today. I tried doing a backup only to get a "SID" error. I retried it and received the same error. I looked on this forum and saw others had experienced this. As someone suggested in the forum, I switched my display setting's color quality to 32bit from 24bit and IC worked like a charm. Otherwise, I don't have a clue what could be causing your problems.
Good luck,

yeah I was playing RTCW and I saw little hints through walls of the movie encoding. I betcha if they allow us in an update to turn that off not only will it speed it up but reduce number of errors some are experiencing. Still I haven't encountered an error yet.

dvdRenegade,

Interesting point, worth following up on. In my case the computer is already at 32 bit -- but I'll change it to something lower just to see if it has an effect.
