Any ideas what the problem is, I know that it's not my Writer causei can use Nero or Prassi to burn to DVD-r without any problems.

Yeah! I'm getting exactly the same error, 3.5 hrs of work. frustrating, even when you click retry with a new dvd-r, it starts all over again from the beginning. I'm now trying again but using my hard disk as destination instead of my Pioneer 104. Anyone else having this problem?

Using amd 2000xp cpu with windows xp.

same problem here using an A03. Can't burn a PDI file either. Now trying to extract the VIDEO_TS as shown above to see if that helps.

Looks like there may be a problem with Pioneer burners???

Yep looks like it is a problem with Pioneer Burners, although having just checked the Pinnacle website it seems that the software suppports the Pioneer Brand of burners.


I've even tried that pdi2iso dos tool, but cannot burn to DVD-r using DVD Decrypter, i get the is error message....


Filezise is not a multiple of it's sector Size.

File Name C:\SWEp2.iso

File Size 4,438,249,521
Sector Size 2048


Also tried that UltraIso method but hwne trying to burn with Prassi it come's up with error messages as well.

Very Fustrating knowing that other prople are burning with no problems at all :(>

the 'sector size error' is because the front 304 bytes are lopped off
and the files are just 'stuck' together. The file is (techinally) 304 bytes short. The util needs to stick another 304 zero bytes ON THE END to mek it back to the proper file size.

And burning with the latest Nero Burning Rom (5.5.10.7b)?
When ya made your ISO file, extract to HD with IsoBuster.
Maybe check The Ifo Files in IfoEdit before burning, dunno ?
After that choose all the vob etc files and burn them in Nero !

Am goin to try it in about 80mins with my pioneer a04, lets hope it works this way.

Hi All,
I did My Big Fat Greek Wedding on a DVR-105 no problems. I did however decrypt to HD and then use Instant Copy with first HD as source and another HD directory as destination for test purposes. After that, burned the files to Maxell DVD-R in Pioneer DVR-105 newest firmware. Worked like a charm, also ordered retail product via Amazon and thestopsign.com last night. Everything has done just what I have expected insert disc and push the big button SO TO SPEAK.

NOTE: also worked on HP200i, happy to report.

Got it burnt by using the pdi2iso tool then using DVD Decrypter to burn the iso:D :)
