Question: sometimes it writes

Ok, troy,
found the the-on -the-fly, unchecked the box,

now for the conflict that happens between anydvd and fab, I do get a pop-up prior to fab opening, stating ( anydvd is detected. you need to disable anydvd to make dvdfab work correctly ) now I never really gave this much thought as when I clicked on the ok, fab opened and I would start ripping or what ever task I was there to do and when fab was done it would tell me that the rip/write was successful.

as far as the code where it appears to show 2 drives I can't explain that, the RE in there was the media I first used, a sony re-writable disc.

I use windows live one care for virus & malware protection,however for grins I am going to run the one you offered up just to see if something is lurking in the background, I am running GMER at the moment when that finishes I will try AVG root kit & malwarebytes so let me run these guys, and I will let you know if some thing shows up that shouldn't be there, thank you for the suggestions and assist

Hi troy512,
was wondering if you do BD's. Tried that Malwarebytes there where a few issues took care of those, ran GMER no red flags there and finally ran AVG just a few tracking cookies cleaned that up, still can't write from full, so I thought let's try V6.0.1.9 and a funny thing happened here, target came up fine, but when I put in source, the whole program shut down, so I have switched back to2.2. now I know StormJumper had some suggestions for tweeking ImgBurn as a stand alone, so this raises a question, if I go into ImgBurn as a stand alone and made other changes in a attempt to get the full mode to write will this have any affect on ImgBurn in Fab, I know this is probably a dumb question, but I don't know the answer.
Also found the problem with the conflict in anyDVD, I had not exited the program also discovered that I can clone with out any problems.
anyway thanks for the help and suggestions.

well thats good you did not have a rootkit on your system.

i am still wondering why you have problems with your drives showing up in imgburn and why imgburn seems to think you have two separate drives a BD-RE drive and a BD-ROM drive.

all the settings you make in ImgBurn are the settings used when dvdfab calls imgburn for writing.

i do not own anything BD related, except my HDTV, which is actually only a 720.

Yeah that one's a curiosity for me as well, I sure we will get it worked out.
thanks for the reply.

It's probably a virtual drive. (VCD or DT).

OK, that makes sense I do have VCD, that's why it shows another drive.
Thank for that LIGHTNING UK !

I had to remove the AnyDVD device filters. They caused unpredictable read behaviour with DVDFab and WinDVD.

Hi Signals,
How do I go about doing that, I was looking in setting on anyDVD and could not see any thing about device filters, thanks for the reply and suggestion.

you can remove filters with ImgBurn.

• tools
• filter driver load order

however i am not sure how anydvd will function with the filter removed. if you have a problem just reinstall anydvd to get the filter back.

Hi troy512,
I spoke with James at slysoft.forum he advised to leave them alone as AnyDVD will not work with out them, he also said, when AnyDVD is disabled the filter does nothing, so I think I will just leave them alone. Thanks for the response...
