    Tdk 804g

    I finally decided to dump my ultra-finicky Sony DRU500A (since it only does 4X about 50% of the time that it should... and that's using Riteks!). I picked up the TDK804G which is a rebadged Plextor 708A. This drive positively rocks! It writes to everything I've thrown at it, and it does 8X and...

    LVD-2001 0301Beta Firmware Released

    Yep... it's out and I'm trying it later. According to a couple of other sites (since Liteon's release notes are worthless): * Support for DIVX 3 * Support for OGG * Support for Subtitles (.SRT) * Support for Subfolders (.MP3) It's a beta and it looks like there are some freeze problems...

    CDR Media Questions

    I'm hoping to gather the collected wisdom that is present on this forum to help me with a CDR media issue. About 2 years ago, I purchased 500 pieces of 16X Silver/LtBlue 80 min media. It was branded as "That's Write" and had a bright green silkscreen. Although labeled 16X, it burned perfectly...

    Resolution Question

    OK gang, a question for all of you. I started evaluating Dr. Divx to see how good/bad of a job it did in doing automatic conversions from DVD to Divx. The original DVD is a 4:3, NTSC disc at 720x480. Dr. Divx recommended that I encode this to 4:3, 640x480. This got me to thinking, 720x480 is...

    48K SVCD Audio?

    I've got a Panasonic CVP52 Carousel player. It plays VCDs beautifully. It also plays VCD/SVCD on DVDs perfectly. But it will not play SVCDs... the video is fine, but the audio comes in bursts. I'm guessing that this is because it is 44.1K audio and the decoder wants 48K audio to compliment the...

    Ripping Stills From VOBs

    Hi, I'm trying to recreate an entire PAL DVD in NTSC. I have ripped all of the chapters and mapped out the disc flow. Now I want to rebuild the menus. I know which VOBs contain which still menus and have ripped the PGCs. Does anyone know of some software that will allow me to rip the still pix...

    PAR2 Files

    I'm very familiar with PAR files and their use. I've been using these for well over a year and find them invaluable. I believe that FSRaid is easily the best of the PAR file programs. Recently I have come across PAR2 files. I understand that they are for use in restoring bits of a file rather...

    Multi-Format DVD Players

    Alright gang, I figure I'll harvest the combined experience of the CDRBase universe and see if anyone can point out my dream machine to me. First off, I am in the US. I am looking for a new DVD player (home, standalone) that will optimally provide all of the following features: *Multiregion...

    Angelpotion

    I recently installed the Angelpotion codec, and subsequently, when I ran VirtualDub, it told me that it was bad stuff so remove it. I did via the uninstaller, but I installed VirtualDubMod last night and it still says Angelpotion is there. Any ideas? Is it bad? Is there a way to uninstall it...

    DivX / TMPGEnc Transcoding

    I am trying to do some transcoding from DivX (or XVid in some cases) to MP2 (for subsequent burn to a DVD). I have read the tutorials and used many methods. Most of the DivX files have AC3 soundtracks. Many times if I rip the sound and use either Headache or BeSweet, I find that there are errors...

    PAL to NTSC

    Does anyone know of a way (maybe with IC7 or DVD2ONE) to convert a PAL DVD to NTSC, menus and all? I know how to use TMPGENC or Canopus to convert the main movie to NTSC, but I would like to convert the whole DVD. Prefereably using one prog, but I'm willing to work a bit to do it as well.

    Hi All

    Just hoping to learn a little something about using my DRU500 for various stuff. This is an intimidating topic and I've been scratching together info from here and there. Hopefully I can put a little rhyme and reason to it. The topics of DVD Authoring and the various tools for manipulating VOBs...
