  • A little direction please....

    Operating System: XP Pro SP2 AMD XP2600+ OC'ed to 2800+; LeadTek Ti4200 OC'ed to 307/620
    Burning Software: Nero 6.6.0.1; Blindwrite 5.0.2.113; FreeRIP 2.9; DVDShrink 3.2
    Anti-virus Software: Panda Antivirus ver.7.0

    Hey peeps'

    I installed the software and everything is going smoothly (I Think) but it seems that when I inserted a game i.e.: Devastation, I did not see a splash screen for thhe safedisc and when I exited the game I did not see it also. I am currently using blindwrite to create an image on a selected partion, but it seems to be making no progress. I have not tried this before, does it usually take a while to create an image? I undertand that all games are different, but it has been at LEAST 20 min, and not even 1% has been completed. Ant info or tricks would be geatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    CJ7

    On some protected CDs extracting the contents can take well over an hour, just wait until 4-10% has passed, it will speed up after that.

    Check if your drive supports fast error skipping and give a try to Alcohol 120%.

      Thanks for the tip. Dunno if it matters much, but should I use my dvd burner instead of my dvd drive?

        That depends on what kind of drives you have, if one of them is Plextor or Lite-On use it. Philips, Sony and other "big" makers sell only crippled drives that can copy very few protected titles.

        Generally newer drives should work better (but not always!).

            The Lite-On drive should be better (but might not be faster).
