Carl 3 Report post Posted September 20, 2004 I'm using a Gigabyte one and have also used Diamond Data (mitsi) with no probs. Can't wait for Dual layered DVD writers to go mainstream, just can't quite copy my dvds as the 4.7GB limit is so restrictive, have to rip to DivX then cut and paste back into DVD format...so time consuming!

m325i 709 Report post Posted September 20, 2004 True. I have posted on like 5 forums, sent email to MSI, all no responce. It used to play DVDs sweet, now its all jerky sound pops/cracks //Carl you should just use DVD Shrink, that rips in one click, then burn in Nero. Easy as.

Deftones 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2004 I use AnyDVD to bypass any restrictions on a DVD (when using bits and pieces of footage for things), and use Nero Vision Express to compress onto one single layer DVD. Then burn with Nero as well. I think Sony have released some dual layer drives. Don't know if available to the public yet tho... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 3 Report post Posted September 20, 2004 Close your eyes kiddies: Here the prob, suggestions??? Have DVD's of 7GB which I want to write to 4.7GB blanks. It'd be great if I could fit the main part of the 7GB dvd's onto the 4.7's... However, most of it is porn (which is good for trading) so I only want to steal sections from different DVD's to create chapters on a new blank. As it stands my default Sonic software doesn't allow me to steal segments from one DVD although it lets me steal segments from DivX - MattA will receive some of my handiwork very soon :pimp: BTW: I'm using MDaemon aswell to create dvd images so as I can emulate 4 dvd drives from which I want to pawn pieces. Does anyone have software for doing this kind of work that I can trade so delicious material for??? BTW: Sorry for hi-jacking this thread although it kinda is still on topic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
