Error Writing - Write error or process aborted???

I am a newbi. I get an error message at the end of copying, when try to copy a movie: "Error writing. Please see log" (or something like that)and it eject the disk.
When I see the log it says "40DE80: Finished
"40DE80: Writing failed. (write error or process aborted):
" 40DE80: Drive is not ready"
I was able to backup about 5 movies, when I tried with the 6th. this error started. Then I tried to backup one that had worked before, just to test. It did not work this time.

You need to post some system specs such as operating system, and hardware. do you have DMA enabled and a clean aspi layer. Have you updated your transcoder, some new updates require that you have DirectX9 installed and updated. What software are you using to do your backups with?

I guess it is onvious how new I am to all this!
I am running DVDXCopy Platinum - version 4.0.3
I havent figured out how to enable my DMA. A clean Aspi layer - I'm lost. Sorry! Updated my transcoder?
Don't give up on me - I am actually somewhat coputer literate - but this DVD stuff has me lost!!!

Ok then let's make as easy as possible.

Go to this thread and follow the instructions.

Then go to this thread. It wouldn't hurt to install this even if you have an aspi layer.

You're great. My DMA ws already enabled. The second link didn't work? Another idea? Meanwhile, I also removed Roxio Disc n Drag. Thanks.

 

The second one didn't work because the site has exceeded its bandwidth usage.

Try this link and follow the instructions.

I followed that link and it came up a foreign language site??? Did I Goof up?

 

Try it again I just did and it worked, sometimes its down but it always seems to come back

 

Did both of these - ASPI seems to be working. DMA is enabled. Any other ideas? I am so bummed - I feel like I wasted a ton of money for this program. Thanks,
