Hey guys, I'm back! Getting right down to business....
A couple weeks ago I burned a DVD with DVD-Shrink using the NERO burning plugin. This was one of my HUNDREDS of successful burnings over the last 2 years I've owned the computer & the programs. Later that day, I downloaded D2JSP, installed it, and used it to do some MFin'/BAALin' on BNET USEAST LADDER. (I'm banned from BNET now, but that's another story) I let the bot do hundreds of BAAL runs over the week while I was at work. I checked my inventory and was amazed to find a perfect 5/5 Poison Facet, a Harlequin Crest Shako, and some Amazon GC Skiller!!! It was like Christmas -- anyhow, the point is that the bot was definately doing it's job. At this point, I closed both the bot program & Diablo II (and all other background services) and decided to burn some more DVD movies. Used all of my usual, proven, tested, 100% working methods (done it HUNDREDS OF TIMES) to burn 2 DVDs with DVDShrink using the Nero plugin just as I had the week before. Everything was going just as planned until DVDShrink got to the point just after where it creates the "recode" folder (menus, special features, general CRAP taken out) of VOBs and goes to write to disc. It started writing a few of the VOBs, but when it got to a certain point, it gave me an error about TOC and crapped out. I decided it must be a fluke & went to do the other DVD. That crapped out just a described too! Now I needed to do some troubleshooting. I figured maybe somehow there was either:
A.) Something wrong with DVDShrink or the Nero Plugin
B.) A Virus
C.) Somehow D2JSP or its .dll that you put in the windows\system32 folder is to blame, because it has something to do with drive access
I did a virus scan - negligible results. I uninstalled & reinstalled DVDShrink & Nero. I then tried to burn the "recode" folder through Nero only, but it crapped out with the TOC error. I uninstalled D2JSP and removed the .dll from the windows\system32 folder. I had to go out & buy some new goddamn DVDRs because i just ran out, then went to burn the recode folders with Nero & they both worked! I put a DVD that I copied the previous month in the drive & used the usual DVDShrink with Nero Plugin method & it worked. This proves beyond the shadow of a doubt in my mind that D2JSP somehow causes TOC errors when burning DVDs. The ONLY 2 things I do on my computer are play Diablo II and burn DVDs. The ONLY thing that changed on my computer in the last 6 months was when I installed D2JSP, so there you have it. Draw your own conclusions. Let this serve as "words of wisdom" for those of you who enjoy doing what I like to do as well, and may it save you time if you run into the same problems I have.
Has anyone else had a similar problem(s)?
