'on the fly'

I have seen this 'on the fly' What does it mean? I kown it has to be easy and i have read in the help programes and looked here can't Find it. Thanks Fivestones:doh:

 

It means you don't have to rip the DVD to your HDD to remove protections.

 

Found a good quote from Wiki

I think that hits the nail firmly on the head.

 

Correct. Thanks for clearing up things Matt. Good definition.

 

(((Thanks to you all))) I am trying to learn as fast as i can and hope to be able to help others like you are all helping me.Fivestones:agree:

 

Good idea.

 

Just make sure your reader is good & fast.

 

With on the fly burning you cant burn faster then the speed at which your source drive can read the disc.

 

Very bad idea to rip and burn a DVD movie "on the fly" (DVD original directly burned to DVD blank media, bypassing the HDD). It's iffy even if the original is in pristine condition ... Even if you had a 10Mb buffer on your burner. You will get errors and make coasters much of the time.

You are making backups with software that is designed to make backups. You are not duplicating disks. There is a timing factor to be considered here. Rip to your HDD first ... then burn.

Using the term "decrypting on the fly" (as AnyDVD does) is using the expression "on the fly" for a different reason in a different context.

We almost have identical drives. The Sony one is exactly the same, and the Philips one is the same except for the last four numbers, wow. There is a firmware upgrade available for the Sony drive.

I have a Dell too. An E310 with an Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz w/HT. Also 1GB of DDR2 RAM.

 

Thanks i just went and got the upgrade.Fivestones

 

So the Sony one should be FDS3. I just checked the Philips drive and there is an update for that one too.

LOL I run Pc check up it told me to get the Philips one called Gd30 so now i have to go the other one. Ok i got it from your link ill save this place.Thanks Fivestones

 

GD30 is the correct update.

 

Its always safer to copy to your hard drive first then burn but I have done many on the fly copys and never had a playback problem or error using CloneCd however if the disc has some scratches I wont do an on the fly copy, but I also always burn to a Verbatim +RW disc first and play it back to make sure that it plays fine and everything in the menu works fine.
