CDGrab won't

Re: CDGrab won't

Are you running as an Administrator? Do you have the latest service pack for Win2k?

[ephoras]

Re: CDGrab won't

Yes I'm running as Administrator and W2k Service Pack 4 with ALL windows updates on both machines

Re: CDGrab won't

Before the next Beta makes full release, we will install Win 2000 fresh on to a computer and try R12.3

Re: CDGrab won't

That would be brilliant. Thank you.

Re: CDGrab won't

Tried on a fresh Windows 2000 Pro, no problems ripping the whole disc.

If you think about it doubtful it is a software issue, we would have to have specific code with did something different for the middle of the last track, compared with other tracks, we do not.

Re: CDGrab won't

So if your system works and mine doesn't then there has to be something running on my second system (which is pretty bare) interfering. The only thing I could think of was InCD which has been removed from the startup sequence. There was no change in the results. I then tried stopping everything but the networking program from Startup, but again the last track would not rip with the same error as before.

Any suggestions, please?

Admittedly I am still on R12.2 as 12.3 is not released.

Re: CDGrab won't

If Windows Internal does not work then any version of dBpoweramp would not help, all ripping requests are passed to windows its self.

Re: CDGrab won't

So does that mean I have a problem with Windows itself on both machines? When you tried W2000 Pro, did you get ALL Service Packs and current updates?

[ephoras]

Re: CDGrab won't

No reply to my last query, so I've tried again, wiping the system drive and started afresh with my W2k CD Service Pack 2, then immediately installing dbpowerAMP to latest available version (R12.2) :-

To prove it is working I tried to rip the last track and after 99% of Pass 1

Re: CDGrab won't

Do you get the same problem when using "SCSI Pass-Through"

[ephoras]

Re: CDGrab won't

Aren't you brilliant, thank you. That works perfectly! So full of enthusiasm I've restored my system entirely to as it was and altered the Communication to "SCSI Pass-Through".

Doing the same thing again on the restored system I get the following error

Error ripping to mp3 (Lame), 'Track 9' to 'O:\Music\Steeleye Span\2006 - Folk Rock Pioneers in Concert\09 - All Around My Hat.mp3'

Any further suggestions or should I start again from scratch, something obviously I would prefer not to do.

Re: CDGrab won't

It is looking like it something hardware related, you need to try other ripping programs, many though would end ripping at that point and not tell you there is a problem (because it is near the end).

[ephoras]

Re: CDGrab won't

Thanks for the reply. Any suggestions of which one to try. I've tried EAC but it didn't work (is this significant?) and being fairly thick as to the fine workings/settings I just ignored it. I used to have a naughty version (8 or 9 or 10 possibly) of dbpowerAMP and decided to go genuine and pay up for the latest version as I thought it was a good program and worth the money. Currently wondering if I did the right thing as I have had nothing but trouble ever since. Looks like I'd better start from scratch again. This I can do on one machine but virtually impossible on the other. I know nothing is impossible.

Re: CDGrab won't

My apologies for recommending SPT again when you had that set initially.

You said EAC does not work either? If it is not working and dMC isn't working, then it sounds like it is something hardware related.

Re: CDGrab won't

Yahoo!!!!

Sussed it

My mother board on the second machine is an Abit and it came with its installation CD containing Drivers, some of which are for the Via Technology chip set which is also on my Main machine. After countless reformats and re-installations this weekend, I found that if I did not add and start the Ultra DMA drivers, dbpowerAMP CDGrab works, albeit a bit slower. The Communication now has to be "SCSI Pass-Through". So over to you Spoon is this a coding fault or a hardware fault? Ultra DMA really speeds up both these old systems and the really old one will have to have it put back on to make it useable.
