Auto detecting DVD Decrypter problems.

[Edsel]

The "Automatically burn with DVD Decrypter" option is disabled, even though I have it installed and use it constantly. However you're looking for it, it doesn't work. :) Are you assuming a "Program Files" folder? Many of us don't install there.

Is there a hidden option in the .ini file we can set that points to the proper location?

No. I look for a registry entry that is created by DVD Decrypter's installation "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ISO\Shell\Burn using DVD Decrypter\Command" -- which contains the path to the executable. It should say something like this:

"c:\Program Files\DVD Decrypter\dvddecrypter.exe" /MODE ISOWRITE /SOURCE "%1"

I tried to grab the one I thought was most applicable. Anyone else experience this problem?

and for burning speed choice ?

Use HKCU\Software\DVD Decrypter

The value you need is in 'InstallDirectory'

Append '\DVDDecrypter.exe /MODE ISOWRITE /SRC' etc... to it.

Cool. I'll change it for the next version. Actually I just pulled the executable path from the entry anyway and added the parameters in the code -- just in case I want to do some other Decrypter magic from within RB...

BHH Right now I take the default. I guess I can add the choice to the next version.

Also, how does DVD-RB know what drive to use (and can I set that)? I have two dvd burners in my computer but if I only have one blank DVD in then will it figure it out?

And it would be nice (but maybe not easy) to be able to use the burn setting in batch mode but assign different outputs to different drives so that I could encode and burn two different projects. Or even encode and burn two and the just encode a third (or fourth ...)

LOL

It's fantastic to watch something simple as burning an ISO turn into a huge can of worms.. good luck jdobbs :)

I honestly didn't give a lot of thought to multiple burners... that's a little unique.

[buzzqw]

that's a little unique

not always true.

Something like Cujo imgtool classic setup could be fine

I'll look at it. But the list is now very long and I don't want my mouth making promises my ass can't keep...

[buzzqw]

and remember that "ass is always precius"... ! :D

That definitely explains it, I don't have any file associations set for Decrypter.

Thanks.
