hey. used until very recently an optorite 4x dvd drive and used dvdshrink/nero to make my dups. recently i purchased an aopendvw1608 8x dvd drive. this is my problem: dvdshrink 3.1 encounteres a copy protection error on the aopen drive so i switched to dvd-decriptor 3.5.4 which cracks the dvd but the total file size in the directory video_ts are almost 7 gig.
i am using the same dvd movie in this case.
so i am back to using the older optorite drive and dvdshrink to create the dvd dirs and i use the new aopen dvd 8x drive to burn. the combo actually works well since i can do both operations at the same time. i would like to know though why the new aopen drive is not capable of cracking the dvds and once it does why does it create such large directories which are unable to be burned. i suspect it is a matter of configuration. thank you for any help you guys can provide. klossie…
