PC Upgrade Problems

[gmas]

I recently built a new system:
P4 2.8 Ghz Prescott(800FSB 1MB L2 Cache),Gigabyte GA-8IG1000MK Motherboard running Intel 865G Chipset, with Dual Channel DDR 400 (2 X 512). I have for some six months used a Gigabyte GO-W0404A Dvd Dual wrtier with great results. Also use Creative PC-DVD Rom for viwing or on the fly backup when size of source disk permits. Hard Drives are 40G Western Digital 7200rpm with 8mb buffer and 80 G Western Digital 7200 with same buffer.

OS used is XP Pro Sp1 all updates applied, as well as CloneDVD, AnyDVD,Nero 6.3, DVDDecrypter and DVDShrink depending on what it is I am doing. Use PowerDVD 4 for viewing

Since the upgrade I have had some real problems with backing up - also - will not play on PC - in most cases ok on stand alone.

Am about to give up - Old P4 2.4G and MSI P4MAM Motherboard still does the trick - perfectly. Any help appreciated :scared:

What is the actual problem?

Are you saying your having issues doing backups from DVD to DVD, HDD to HDD, DVD to HDD, or HDD to DVD??? I have read where some backup programs (norton ghost, drive image 7.0, ect) didn't like SATA HDD. Is that even the case here?????

Once I have copied the DVD to the Hard Drive either using CloneDVD or DVD Decrypter - and then write the movie to a blank media disc (I use either Verbatim 4X-R or Melody 4X-R)- the final product plays fine in a stand-alone attached to the TV - it will however not play on the PC - I have tried to view the backup (which plays perfectly on the stand-alone in all the following with the results below:-

The error message I get from PowerDVD is:
A disc with unsopported format in Drive G:

Error message from DVDDecrypter when trying to open the backup in Decrypter is:

Automatic File System Parsing Failed

Error from CloneDVD:

Error opening Video Files from G:/Video_Ts

Error from DVDShrink:

G:\[No Disc]

:confused:

What app are you using to burn? Are your discs being finalized, what file system is being used? Are VIDEO_TS-AUDIO_TS files being created?
.
Sounds like you have a playback problem (burn related), and I don't think its your pc.

So - its not a hardware problem - phew - reformated reinstalled XP Pro, DiretX9 - no other microsoft pathces - intalled DVDDecrypter, CloneDVD, and PowerDVD.

Ripped with Decrypter and encoded and burnt with Dolly.

Result was great - on inserting backup after burning - file opened showing Audio_ts and Video-ts and no problem playing with PowerDVD.

What I did not install was Nero and AnyDVD - perhaps one of these interferring with playback or file recognition?

Anyway will find out in next few days as they are both great tools and wouldnt want to have to do without them.:D

Thanks for the responses
