| HELP: checking quality of copied DVD with Nero Just 06:29:08 |
| | I have bought a 25 pack of EMTEC DVD +R which were giving me problems
with my previous DVD writer (a compatibility problem, I think).
Now that I have a new DVD writer, I just copied an EMTEC DVD and would
like to run a full test to confirm quality of copying.
From the Help of Nero:
"ScanDisc is a function which will show you the quality of a disc.
The test consists of two parts, the File Test which simply reads all
files on the disc and reports all errors. This test can also be used
for benchmarking to give you an idea on how well the drive performs
with for example software installing.
The Surface Scan checks the quality of each sector and shows the
results in a graph".
However, if I go to Nero CD-DVD Speed / ScanDisc it seems that I can
only test the Surface Scan. Nowhere can I find a File Test. This test
is also necessary for my purpose, right?
What is my best approach to confirm quality of copying with Nero?
I have:
- Nero 6.6.1.4
- Nero CD-DVD Speed 4.11
I read somewhere that DvdinfoPro could do the job. But I would like to
avoid installing another program if I can do what I need within Nero.
Any advice would be appreciated.

| Where can i buy 16 ohm Surround souund speakers from? Gyro 03:48:32 |
| | At the rear of our hifi there's outputs for surround sound speakers but
the manual says to use 16 ohm surround speakers.
What would happen if i connected 8 ohm speakers to those outputs?
because 8 ohm speakers are easy to find.
Btw, i'm in Perth but ordering online is fine. The speakers can't be to
big because it's all got to fit into a bookshelf type entertainment
unit. Say, 25cm wide x 30cm high x 25cm deep, or there abouts for each
speaker.
cheers.

| Remote Access Bill Hogsett 02:10:57 |
| | I would like to put the Tivo in a basement and control it from the living
room using a "infrared enhancer" if there is such a thing. The house is
under construction so I can run whatever wiring might be needed and install
any hardware that would be needed.
Does anyone have any experience with a project like this? What was used?
What are the pros and cons?
Thanks.

| Series 1 TIVO getting hung up Shell 23:13:27 |
| | I have been trying to delete everything on my Tivo Series 1 (SVR-2000),
which seemed to be going okay, but now I am getting a message that
says: "Clearing & deleting everything. This will take an hour." So far,
it has been about 90 minutes and the message is still there. Have I
totally screwed up the hard drive ?
Thanks,

| Dark background GuessWho 20:20:50 |
| | I have an Athlon64 system with a 8x AGP nVidia GeForce4 MX series card
outputting to Sony CRT monitor set at 1024x768 and 32 bit color.
I don't watch a lot of videos on the computer but I've noticed that during
dark scenes the picture is so dark that you can't make out background
detail.
I've been noticing it with my TV tuners also. I have 2 different tuners and
2 different software packages. I have the same problem. The background is so
dark that I can't make out any detail.
Both cards work with one of the software packages but I don't see any
difference no matter which card and/or software combination I use.
I've tried all the display adjustments but nothing seems to change on the
videos or TV. Internet and program material look great with the default
display setting but deteriorates when I adjust brightness, contrast, gamma
etc. much beyond the default settings. I've also tried changing the display
settings with no effect.
Could someone suggest what I might be overlooking?
TIA,
Wayne

| Can you change the drive without an old drive Scooby Jones 17:51:38 |
| | I have bought a broken tivo off eBay. The guy who sold it to me said the
drive was dead.
When I boot it up i get to the "Nearly There. Wait a few more seconds
please" page and it just stays there.
I have done some reading and it seems that I need to make a backup image
from the broken drive onto a new drive. As the current one is broken I
wondered is there a way of setting up a new drive without an old one?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Carl.

| DVD+R discs... does quality matter? Mexican Equivalent 11:38:18 |
| | I realize that not all DVD+R discs are created equal. Some brands turn
into coasters while being burned. Others are already coasters out of
the box.
However, assuming I have successfully burned data into a DVD+R disc,
does it really matter what kind of disc I had used? Are cheap discs
significantly more susceptible to data degradation, scratches, and so
forth? I had always assumed that a "good quality" DVD+R brand simply
meant that the company's manufacturing process was very realiable,
meaning there were less un-useable discs in a brand new pack.

| trouble using hp cd-writer 8230e Shoemakerted@Yahoo.Com 04:27:03 |
| | Hello,
My wife recently bought a hp cd-writer 8230e, used. I installed it on
my machine (running windows 98SE), and it burned a CD-RW just fine.
When I tried to burn a CD-R soon after, it gave the following
responses:
1. First it requires that I format the CD. Okay, I don't think that's
a problem.
2. Then it says it's finished, and the only option it gives me is to
eject the disk. Whether I eject it or not . . .
3a. If I try to read or write the disk using the HP software, it says
it can't read the CD, and runs ScanDisk (its own, not Windows. Then HP
ScanDisk gives this error message:
This is not a DirectCD disk. Scan Disk will not continue.
3b. On the other hand, if I try to read or write from Windows Explorer
(which the readme says it is supposed to do), I get this: cannot create
or replace disk. Access is denied.
I suspect that I've made a simple mistake somewhere. Got any
suggestions?
Thank you very much!

| burn a dVD with TiiVo recording? Rich 02:21:32 |
| | I've got my network setup. I used Tivo to Go and transferred a couple of
golf lessons to my Windows XP folder "TiVo recordings".
1. can I burn a DVD with this golf lesson?
2. IF I can..what program do I have to use to "start the burn"?
I can burn CD's but I don't seem to be able to find whatever program might
be on my computer to use to burn a DVD.
My computer says it has a "Double layer DVD+-R/RW and
CD/RW combo drive les you archive and transfer up to 8.5 GB on convenient ,
portable DVD's and CDs."
So, I think I have the mechanical capability to do it, but I don't know what
program to use to burn a DVD. I have "real player" but that program seems
to only PLAY and not RECORD. Any help appreciated. thanks RG

| Captured video to a dvd Patch 00:09:15 |
| | Hi, I am trying to get my home movies from a mini-dv to to dvd so I can
play on any home dvd player. I have captured the video as .avi files
using Nero. I now have several .avi files that are about 20GB each.
I was wondering the best way to get these into a format that dvd
players read (I believe mpg2) and how to these large files on to a dvd
that only holds 4-8GB.
Will I need a program to split these files or when they go to mpeg2
will they compress to a reasonable size?

Four months now, and the website only shows it is approved, but still in
process.
Some fine fine print I missed?

| DVDFab output Guest 08:45:40 |

Just tried DVDFab and asked it to reduce the quality so that the
eventual size is 1GB. Instead, the program produced files listed below.
What the heck are those files and do I need them all?
Thanks!

with the drive!) limits my burn to 12x. Is there a setting somewhere
that I can change it? The drop down box limits me to 12X.
What gives?
