kikamonju Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 So. I'm getting this error when I try to copy DVD's. It gets to around 53% the DVD drive stops spinning and it clicks every time it wants to start up. Before you say it's a problem with my drive, the drive works all the time except when it gets to 53%. The status bar at the bottom of the window says "Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present)" I've attached a screen cap of the window while it is trying to read and a cap of the error message. I am using AnyDVD to remove copyright protection. I run Windows 7 home premium (64 bit) I have a dell. I'm running the latest IMG Burn.
kikamonju Posted October 15, 2010 Author Posted October 15, 2010 It does this with every DVD, by the way.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 This is nothing to do with the program. The drive can't read the disc. If it's doing it with all discs then yeah, it probably is the drive... there's nothing else it could be. Do you have any burnt single / double layer discs? If you do, can it read them?
kikamonju Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 I have no burnt discs but I have been using a WinX DVD Ripper to make MP4 files from the same discs and it has had no problems (I'm making MP4's because they are 2 GB instead of 7 GB). I'm not sure if the problem has persisted or not. I was using it to create IMG's of game discs which seems to be the most practical use of IMG Burn and I think that copying DVD's will be done by a specialized program from now on. Thanks for your time and thanks for the disc-less gaming.
