I have a problem with dvd x copy xpress 3.2.0. I have used this software many times before to backup my dvd collection but lately when I burn dvds it completes the burn successfully but when I try to use the backup it informs me the dvd is blank?? anyone else had this problem? have tried re-installing the software so this doesent seem to be the problem have also had the same problem with nerovision express 2. Any help would be appreciated!
Could be 1 of several known issues. Have you install new software. if so what? WHat brand and format of blank media are you using and is this the brand that you normally use or have you switched? How did you unistall and reinstall the xcopy program, step by step please. Have you upgraded your Operating system or had to reformat or anything like that. By upgrade I mean say from Windows 98 to say ME or whatever.
Wow flip, I didnt know that INCD was an option with the ultra edition. I saw that you've mentioned this before. I have nero ulta edition and didnt have the option to DL INCD, guess it wasnt available when I purchased it earlier in the year. INCD will indeed interfere with xcopy. Thanks for the heads up
321sucker, What version of Nero are you using? Nero is up to v6.3.1.15, and Vison Express has a newer version. And yea, InCD4(garbage) is download #3 http://www.nero.com/us/nero-up.php
Im using 6.3.0.3 which isnt too far behind. I have Nero set to automatic update, I guess it doesnt think I need the newest versions. How about that
321sucker, That's funny.. I also had mine on auto updates. Then started reading posts about newer versions.
Hi, I just got XCopy Platinum, the non-RF version. It installed great, seems to do it's thing with no problem, and now I have a whole bunch of new coasters. Since there is no help button, or anything else to tell how to use it, can someone tell me where to start? Thanks.
Yes, how bout tell us your system specs. Also you said you installed the non RF version... which one? And why not v4.0.4.15RF? And might as well tell us what kind of media your using?
2.8Gb P4 512 DDR 400 RAM XP Pro Intel board And a sony 530A DVD burner. I'm using +R Disks. And I bought a Ripper version, 3.2.1.0, for the obvious reasons.
mitch46, Is your sony burner your only optical drive? Do you have a dvd-rom? Also you should get v4.0.4.15RF, its the most complete version, and the browse button works... so you can burn video_ts files that are on you pc. And there is a patch to make it a ripper version But you'll have to wait till tomorrow... You have to e-mail support@321studios.com and give them your license and password. They will then give you a new license and password with a link to download the RF version. Then once you get the RF version installed you get 321rip. Download 321rip, and place the file in Platinum RF then execute the patch. http://321rip.tripod.com/ But for now or till you get RF, you should update to a newer version(v4.0.3.8 which is a ripper version) http://xcopy.co.uk/updates/?=s76gdfdsd675abcdf565gf65a So first give that a try. And one last question... Your able to rip, burn and finalize. Does it give you a "successful burn" message? Then its a coaster, right?
Hi, Yes, the Sony is my only DVD drive. I also have a CD burner in the tower. I got v4.0.3.8 and installed and made another shiney new coaster. It went through the whole thing and said it successfully completed the burn. But it won't play on the PC or my Standalone player. I also had everything in the tray turned off. I have no trouble at all burning with Shrink, but I paid for this, I'd like it better if it worked.
2 burners on the same ide cable aren't good. Make your burner the master on one ide cable and your cd burner a slave on the other. You could also try updating your aspi layer. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/aspi.cfm Installing Adapted ASPI v4.71.2 1)Click Start, then Run 2)Click Browse, then choose Local Disk 3)Click Adaptec, then ASPI 4)Click Install, then Open Will look as follows: C:\adaptec\aspi\install.bat 5)Now type xp32 at the end. Make sure you space after .bat C:\adaptec\aspi\install.bat xp32 6)Click Ok, reboot. Now run aspichk. Should look as follows: ASPI32.SYS 4.71.2 WOWPOST.EXE Not Installed WINASPI.DLL Not Installed WNASPI32.DLL 4.71.2
The DVD drive is the master, but I have no way of adding them to different cables. I appreciate the time you took, but I'm not going to go any further with this. There is no way I should have to go to these lengths to get a costly piece of software to work. I'll just consider it a ripoff and let it go and continue to use Shrink. Thanks anyway.
Mitch, that costly piece of software does a great job, when its working. Dont give up so easily on the costly investment that you've made in the xcopy software.

Then click next and while the program may look like it is installing, it is removing those options. One thing to remember is that both Direct CD and Drag to Disk will not be installed at the same time. For more information, please visit Roxio's website at http://www.roxio.com/en/support.index.jhtml 3.

Easy CD Creator 4.x: Due to the age of this package, it is no longer updated by the authors. There are bugs present in this older system that will cause NUMEROUS problems on your machine, not just with our software. Please Uninstall completely, and consider either the new 6.x version from Roxio (http://www.roxio.com) or Nero 6.x (http://www.nero.com).

If you find some of these packages, please shut down and reboot twice to ensure that the last pieces of the conflicting software are completely removed.
Well to each his own.. But having 2 burners on the same cable can still cause problems. Not just with XCopy but with other burning applications. Do you have 2 hard drives?
I turn off everything in the System Tray and unplug my cable connection before launching XCopy. I have a paid for version of Ad-Aware and run it all the time, so the system is clean. Anti-virus is turned off, and those are the only two on the list. I don't have Roxio or Nero, so those aren't a problem. I have set the Temporary folder to: F:\dvdtemp and the DVD Info folder is set to: C:\Program Files\321Studios\Platinum\dvi. The burner fires up and you can see the area on the disk has been burned with something, but it doesn't work, even when I get a success popup at the end. I don't even touch the mouse when it's running, other than to click the Start buttons. And I have a stack of coasters approaching 2" thick now. I have tried playing them in my PC, and it "almost" locks it up. Meaning that I pop it in, and nothing happens. I try to launch Explorer to tag the DVD drive letter, and it takes a minute to open, then doesn't respond. It never launches the movie player software. I put it in a brand new Pioneer player, and it loads and says no disk. Same in my brothers player. I just have no interest in reconfiguring my whole computer to run one piece of software. I don't think I should have to. Yes, I have 2 hard drives also. But, like I said, Shrink works, and it was free.
mitch46, I don't turn anything off. And if you still want to try to get this to work ... I recommend getting some RW's. Also have you tried updating your aspi layer?
You said: 6)Click Ok, reboot. Now run aspichk. Should look as follows: OK, run it in what order? I mean, when I start XCopy, then what? OK, it's installed, but mine looks like this: 6)Click Ok, reboot. Now run aspichk. Should look as follows: ASPI32.SYS 4.71.2 WOWPOST.EXE 4.6(1021) WINASPI.DLL 4.6(1021) WNASPI32.DLL 4.71.2
mitch46, Click start then run. Cut and paste this into your run box: [bold]C:\adaptec\aspi\install.bat xp32[/bold] Then reboot.
