Toddy Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I'm a first time user: Have dvd-r that I created from VHS tape via a samsung VHS to DVD device. I need to make copies of these for my children and their grandparents. However when I do the Write to Device I keep getting the error "Cannot read from file D:Video_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB, Reason Incorrect Function". i'm I using the correct function ie Build/write to device? Image information: # files: 10 # folders: 2 Total file size: 4,587,847,680 file sectors: 2,240,160 image size: 4,588,437,504 image sectors: 2,240,448 min rq media: DVD+-R/RW Free Space: 111,935,488 I'm using the latest version of imgburn - just downloaded and installed today, SetupImgBurn_2.4.2.0. Any help would be appreciated. I noticed a similar post but it was talking about using DVD43 ??? do I need that to copy home made DVDs in conjunction with imgburn???

Cynthia Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hi and welcome to the forum, Toddy! Home made stuff is not copy protected, so no need to use that program. Not any other program running that is still open that 'holds' your files on the D: device? The drive 'D:' - is that your source DVD disc or your hard disk?

Toddy Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Thanks... when I go to make an image file as directed about 3% of the way into the process it gives me an I/O error with the intrepretation of "Illegal mode for this track". Update: I contacted Samsung re this VHS to DVD process with their device. I used their "shortcut" one button copy function. They inddicated when doing it this way that it creas a Protected dvd ie copywrite protected! Arrrrgh I have 23 DVDs each with 4+ gig of video that it looks like I'll have to redo.... it took me weeks to copy all of my old VHS...... They suggest I redo them all win their V mode.....

Cynthia, Thanks, but I contacted Samsung support and they indicated that the way in which I copied my VHS to DVD crreeated a copy protected outpuT DVD... they recoomend I go back and redo the VHS to DVD in their V mode.... 23 DVDs later! So thanks but I'll try to experment with their recomemdation before I redo all DVDs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
