I have recently received a NEC ND1000A. While not the most desirable drive, I'm trying to experiment with burning DVD's until I get the Pioneer DVD-R.
The first question is with DVD Shrink. With Blade 2, I wanted to keep the DTS soundtrack, but it would have meant I would have to drop down to Level 3 by only 20MB. I already cut the credits. Is this a limitation with a more straightforward program like this. I'm new to all this, but with IC instead of dropping down a large step, could you go somewhere in between the preset levels in DVDShrink. It seems a waste that for 20MB I have to drop a whole level.
I just chose the regular DD track and created a Level 2 movie only set of files. It finished fine and I put all the files in a VIDEO_TS folder. I tried to use Nero, but I have no pull down menu to select DVD burning. When I run the drive info tool right out of the program folder, it sees my NEC drive fine. When in Nero I try to run the drive scan, it asks me to put in the disk, which I've lost, and quits the scan, so I can't select the drive to burn to.
I also tried DVD Decrypter, so first I used ImgTool to create an ISO, it kind of froze at the end ( finished, but I couldn't close the program ) and I had an ISO file. When I loaded it up in DVD Decrypter, it gave me an error that the Sector number, was not a multiple of the total file size, so I couldn't select it. The only thing I'm done that I question, is I deslected the subtitles in DVDShrink. I read somewhere that this may be bad? I used MrBass's guide, and it wasn't mentioned there.
Also, with the blank Media in the drive, when I selected the DVD burner in DVDDecrypt, it gave a weird and long address error, but then selected the drive. It just couldn't provide info on my blank DVD+RW disk.
ANy thoughts on any or all of this?
Thanks,
Ryan
