AnyDVD 6.1.6.6

[DetroitBaseball]

I never even set it at that, I just discovered it the other night. My drive has been set on that since I bought my computer I think. And to think I would wait 30-40 minutes for a finished copy

Usually takes me 20 minutes to make a copy. Did 15 minutes before.

Well I guess some members can use average to below average media for years with no problems.

Depending on the blank media, in general, the burn quality will degrade faster over time, making the discs die quicker.

Hmm, what is the lifespan of a DVD?

Well, since you're clearly not interested in troubleshooting and will not provide me with a filter list (as I indicated, other than mentioning Anydvd)--and since you're positive the issue is not your blank media--nor your incredibly slow burn speed on what could very well be 16x rated blank media (should be using an 8x or 12x burn speed on 16x rated media . . . 2x is too slow), good luck to you. Another possibility is that your burner is slowly dying.

Since you've posted in multiple threads, you're also making troubleshooting 10x more difficult than need be (is your problem using 1-Click? There's a 1-click forum: http://forum.lgsoftwareinnovations.com/index.php).

Doesn't matter. Organic dye degrades over time. Inferior blank media will also die quicker.
In some cases, discs will die in less than six months.

They should last about 2-5 years.

And some should last longer, notably Maxell Broadcast Quality.

Those probably cost more, right?

Yes, quite a bit more

If you're happy with Sony, I see no issue with continuing to use it (other than you're supporting Sony). But both Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden Premiums, on average, are better (as are Maxell Plus and Maxell BQ made in Japan. Regular Maxells should be avoided).

When I did get to copy a disc, it copied about halfway and then spit it out.

And what does that have to do with Anydvd? Anydvd doesn't "spit out" discs.

Webslinger, its nice that you're trying to help, but ever since my first post, you've been giving me the worst advice. No offense.

And yes, I did give you my upper and lower filter information.

Then I certainly won't attempt to help you ever again. No offense.

I was interested in version numbers that filter check (a cut and paste) would have provided, but nevermind.

As others may be attempting to help you, perchance you should inform them of the burning program you're using and version number (in addition to checking to see if the cable is seated properly on the back of your burner, ensuring dma is enabled for your drive, simply swapping out another burner to see if your burner is dying, and trying better quality blank media without using an insanely low burn speed on 16x rated blank media).

Hey webslinger, I think I got closer to finding out whats wrong with my drive. It is a similar issue to what this guy is saying.

I found my drive is able to read discs better if AnyDVD is disabled. Its interesting. I inserted a data disc and my drive didn't recognize it. After disabling AnyDVD, I inserted the CD again, and my drive was able to recognize it as a data disc.

I also found that when I play DVDs, WMP will display chapter names and other disc information if AnyDVD is disabled. If AnyDVD is turned on, it will display very vague "Chapter 1" etc.

During the burn process, it takes my drive longer to lead in and to lead out than it did before. I think IMGBurn told me to disable AnyDVD, so I did, and was able to finally get a disc burning. But the lead out was sooooo slow (something about cache) that I stopped the program.

I burned a small ISO, and the lead out was again, very slow. I waited a while and it was able to completely burn.

Therefore, it is my theory that AnyDVD should be disabled during the burn process for certain users.

AnyDVD should always be disabled when burning a DVD. It can cause problems with the verification process. I always disable AnyDVD before I load something into Imgburn.

It's never been a problem for me before until lately. A member of another forum was able to find me a firmware update as well.
