Forum: Bugs Topic: Make CD/DVD Image (8.5GB) Hangs at 50% started by: Hossy Posted by Hossy on May 21 2009,19:55
I am trying to make an ISO image of a bootable DVD+R DL.Specs: OS: Vista 64-bit SP1 RAM: 4GB + 2GB ReadyBoost Optical drive: TSSTcorp CDW/DVD TS-H492A Media type: Verbatim 2.4x 8.5GB DVD+R DL (P/N: 95123) Space used on DVD: 8,350,113,792B (7.77GB) UltraISO Premium Edition v9.3.3.2685 1. Tools > Make CD/DVD Image... 2. Options: Enable ISO Volume Filter, Standard ISO(.ISO) It took about 20-25 minutes to reach 50.00%. It is now 1h50m and it is at 50.02% ("50.00%" in taskbar). Not until about 35-40 minutes did the actual .iso show in Explorer at ~4GB, before it is ~38MB. The file size increases by around 50-200KB every 5-10 minutes. I still have activity on my drive, but can't find what it's writing to using Vista's Resource Manager. Posted by xoben on May 21 2009,20:58
Possible problems:1) Your DVD+R DL disc is damaged. Try other programs such as CloneCD will get the same performance. 2) Your disc is copy-protected. It is recommanded to install AnyDVD from SlySoft, then try again. Posted by Hossy on May 21 2009,21:53

I decided to try my other optical drive (PLEXTOR DVDR PX-716A 1.10) and that worked perfectly -- completed in 22m11s. According to Vista's Resource Manager, UltraISO's peak write rate was around 620MB/min! So, must be some incompatibility between the TSSTcorp drive and the Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL media. |
