I was going to post this on their forum but they have a 48 hour new account activation thing

Specs:

Windows XP SP1
Pioneer 104 DVD-RW
Sony DVD-Rom
Plextor CD-RW

Pioneer hooked slave to master and is seen by Windows and able to burn in Nero, etc. Under log all three drives are selected and it will rip the DVD but when it gets to the burn portion nothing is listed.

I tried 1.21 and still nothing. Un-installing, re-installing, same problem. I have updated ASPI layer 4.7.2.1 from Adaptec and everything looks good in Device Manager

Any suggestions? I'd like to burn with DVDXCOPY but no such luck

Thanks for the information

That is the work-a-round that I have been using but since most of my DVDs have to be broken up into 2 DVDXCOPY seems like it does a good job except for the initial back up screen.

Did you install the drivers? Cause dvdxcopy has ANOTHER program that installs them drivers for the drives.

Its there, just a small exe that you have to run. Its called gear drivers or something.
