View Full Version : Nero 7 Ultra hanging DVDD 3.5.4.0 -Nero 6 Ultra doesn't!

Now this is odd, I have successfully backed up DVD's using the (now classic combination of) DVDD 3.5.4.0 and DVD Shrink -then burned with Nero 6 Ultra Burning ROM with never a DVDD error.

I decided to upgrade to Nero 7 (7.0.1.4) a week ago, figuring the 'new bugs' might be worked out, and see what's new and different.

Backing up Bill Mahr's "Victory Begins At Home" Region 1 DVD, we got past VOB1 in DVDD ...and then... "Waiting for read thread" message popped up and everything just sat there. The DVD source deck (NEC) stopped reading, and ---nothing.

I erased the files written so far, rebooted, and tried it again using the Lite-On DVD deck as the source. Same thing.

OKAY, then. So I tried "The Awful Truth" Season 2 and, "Waiting for read thread" popped up again. :scared:

So, I deleted Nero 7 Ultra and re-installed Nero 6 (6.6.0.16), opened DVDD and into the NEC went Bill Mahr's DVD, and no problems at all. Processed Mahr with the Lite-On and... no problems at all. Same with Mr. Moore.

Since the only thing I changed to get things working was reverting Nero 7 back to Nero 6, it seems like a fair guess that Nero 7 is not playing well with DVDD.

Anyone else have DVDD hang with Nero 7 Ultra like this? It made me wonder if Nero hadn't been 'pursuaded' to install a DVDD trap... :confused: :devil:

To further check your theory/suspicion, you might try uninstalling NERO v.6 and reinstalling NERO v.7 and trying the same procedure, with the same DVD again...

I couldn't agree more~~~ yet, on the other shoulder is that little bird saying "If it's not broke don't fix it!" :D

I just might tempt fate one more time, though, if the holly-daze get slooowwww enough by Monday.
