For some reason WMP will not longer burn for me. I even updated to version 10. The program is not reading my DVD-R drive for some reason, though I can burn movies fine with Decryptor and Shrink. Any suggestions?
Hi vsp, I think this maybe a 'Windows' limitation, the same is true if you try to send files to a dvd. It works fine with CD burners but not with DVD burners. Decryptor and shrink are dedicated dvd programs that have the correct drivers/instructions on how to read/write to dvd whereas XP doesn't.....yet. Scampus
i had disabled the IMAPI thing under administrative tools. This is the best I got. Are there better free burning programs out there so I no longer have to use this if it is no good? I notice that some CD's I burn with WMP will leave out the 8th or 9th track for some reason...
BurnAtOnce is an outstanding freeware burning app. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_applications/burnatonce.cfm
New version of WMP is more than likely the problem m8. It takes time to get all brand name burner support. I personally endorse EAC (Exact Audio Copy), a free program or Easy CD DA Extractor 7.0(not free) for extracting, ripping and buring audio. You can try and "manually" extract the two wave files from the dvd-r using IsoBuser For backing up dvd's, DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink will get the job done. For burning data to a dvd-r, I ise burnatonce. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]MSI KT6V-LSR MS-7021 AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (OC'd to 3200+) 1 Gig Corsair XMS PC3200 (OC'd DDR 400) MSI MS Starforce nVidia GeForce FX5500(256 DDR) Maxtor ATA\133 200 gig Lite-ON LTD165H DVD-ROM Lite-ON LDW411S DVD-Burner[/small]
