DVD Shrink Help

[maelek]

Why does DVD shrink not give me the choice to burn with my DVD+R drive (using Nero)? I have "burn with nero" checked. I recently put in a new dvd dual layer drive and it did this to me but after some time i realized it defaulted to burn to the hard drive; i used the drop down button and sure enough the dvd+r was there to choose from. I chose it and it burned the disc without any problem. Now, it isn't a choice. Is there a different area to force it to see the drive? Or is there a setting in Nero to default it to that drive or something.

this is aggravating me

could this be a dma problem? i think the drive defaulted to dma on for the new dvd burner i got....i am going to go try and change it (if i can find the setting for it)

hehe

i cannot find how to change the dma setting in winxp pro...this is too funny

I suggest you take a look around the forum. If you look in Members Tuts & Tips you will find your answer under a Sticky by woody. But I think you need to pick your recorder up top in nero under recorder. If you still have a problem post your NEROHistory.log file which you will find in your nero directory. Just leave out your serial number.

hmm..ok
that post says that dma should be "on" for dvd burners so i will leave it alone. good thing b/c i still can't find the area that lets you change dma and auto run. when i go to control panel...device manager....drives and pick the dvd burner and do properties...my tabs look nothing like woody's picture. Autorun and DMA are not listed anywhere

however, i can't find where nero lets you specifiy the drive as your burner (newest free download)

you shouldn't look in the drive's properties; you have to open the IDE controller properties;

seems your Nero version was limited to your old drive, this is called "bundled version"; you have to pay for using it with all drive brands/types;
