wolf359 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Good afternoon, I have just downloaded the latest version of the DivX software and for some very annoying reason it will not recognise that there is a blank disc in the e-drive, any suggestions?? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolf359 Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 What are you trying to do exactly? I am trying to burn video files onto a DVD disc. I have placed my video files into the DivX media library, then I have to drag the files over to the burn to disc, but the software will not recognise that there is a blank disc in the e-drive and I cannot burn them onto a disc untill it does. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 What is an E-Drive ?? As for suggestions, Hit up your local online shop (torrent) for some decent burning software, im using the Ashampoo burning suite, its simple to use and works well.

xylophone Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 On the subject of DivX........a friend has just told me that he can download movies onto this format but only a special sort/type of cd/dvd player can play them. What is this all about..........sorry not a computer/IT whizz I am afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) I had a similar problem, but then stupid me - I forgot that my E drive is a CD Writer not a DVD Writer. Edited February 18, 2010 by beano2274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano2274 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) vlc playerall the codec's you need He does not require codec's, he is just trying to put the converted DIVX movie onto a blank DVD. Codec's allow you to play the movie on your computer. Added::: Sorry just noticed another poster asked about players. Yes VLC is one of the best, or Media Player Classic Edited February 18, 2010 by beano2274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 To Philnz yes if you want to play a DIVX Movie you need a DIVX player, but you can buy multi players mine is a DIVX, DVD, CD etc player, just have to look around.

welo Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 latest version of the DivX It might help if you name the product you are using. There is plenty of software related to divx. Maybe somebody knows the one you are using and can instruct you. Or somebody can suggest a better alternative that is easier to use. welo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonman Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) Where are you sourcing your movies from ?? If they are from torrents there is no need for a divX program to burn them as .avi and.divX are basically the one and same. Use what ever burning software you have and burn a Data dvd. EDIT: Just looked at DivX.com, did you pruchase the "pro" version ?? Edited February 18, 2010 by Spoonman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKAsok Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'd be inclined to agree with the above post. ImgBurn is generally considered the best burning software by a long way. I burn alot of media and, with a combination of ImgBurn, quality media (Sony - the ones made in Taiwan, not Malaysia), and a decent external drive (LG) have a success rate of pretty much 100%.

bendejo Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Does your other software for disc burning see the drive? Have you tried a different disc? If the program thinks the disc is un-writable it will not be presented as a possible burn location. Is there something in the program that needs to be run to configure the drives, so that the program discovers possible destinations? These are rhetorical questions that may lead to a solution. I too recommend ImgBurn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy D Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 If your software does not recognize the blank disk in the drive it could be for several reasons. First try another blank disk, if you put any other disk in the drive is it recognized? Check your Divx settings that you have selected the correct drive. Going a step further, switch off the computer and disconnect the drive then switch on again with the drive still unplugged. Then switch off and reconnect the drive before starting the computer again. This should give you a "Found new hardware" message with the system loading the drivers needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. Got mine in Carrefor Many thanks Beano......appreciate the info. Now for another question if I may; this friend talks about downloading movies from the internet! If I tried that with my TOT internet connection it would surely be impossible as it takes hours to sometimes download a large email attachment, coupled with the fact that the connection often fails so it starts again, and again and so on. How is it possible to download movies given my circumstances??? Hope you don't mind the question! Philnz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
