Re: PROBLEM with other TRADERS discs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Can it copy any of the files? My first thought is that there may be some hidden files that it doesn't want to copy for some reason.

Have you tried verifying the checksums?

Re: PROBLEM with other TRADERS discs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

the checksums are either .md5 or .st5 or .ffp files

open xACT and click on the "checksum" tab
clck "add"...select the checksum file from the disc and press okay
then click "checksum" button...xACT will then verify the files and tell you if they passed or failed

also, check to see what the permissions are set on...that *could* be part of the problem

Re: PROBLEM with other TRADERS discs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

to check permissions, highlight the disc and press OpenApple+I
look for Ownership&Permissions and make sure its not locked or anything

to run the checksums, you need to download xACT [which you should have for trading anyway--excellent all-in-one GUI specifically for lossless trading]... http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21952

Check sum works for ANY file type - audio, video, programs, documents, spread sheets, pictures, etc. etc.

Re: PROBLEM with other TRADERS discs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

they need to supply you with the md5 for the files. were they on the disc you received? making them yourself isn't going to get you anywhere.

i would ask them what program they used to burn and whether they burned as a video or data disc. not sure if that will help too much but if they used a crappy program (with weird settings) that might be the problem right there.

so you're just trying to drag the video_ts onto your hd right? that shouldn't be a problem if the files are read only.

Re: PROBLEM with other TRADERS discs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

so you are having trouble pulling the info on the discs to your hd?


If you can play them fine in a stand alone player but cant get them to copy, one problem that occurs (and has happened to me) is that sometimes people dont close the disc when they burn, they leave it as an open session.
