    Hoping one of you has experienced this at some time…

    I have this wonderful vegas ms9 plat and dvda program and can’t use it.

    Movie rendered in vegas just fine and moved to dvda.

    Tried to burn with samsung sh-s203n and with asus drw-20bilt burners

    Get the following error:

    ‘SFMMCX’-
    “-[1]
    asus drw-20b1lt 1.00’-[0]
    module sfmmx.cpp line 1974
    an illegal request was recd
    an option was selected in the CDB
    that is not supported by the drive.
    Status:00020202
    Command bt 00 00 00 00 00 00
    16 00 00
    sense: 05 24 00

    The asus came with nero 8 but thanks to DSAA’s tutorials I love dvda. Do I need the nero to burn with these drives.

    Hope someone can help,
    Ed

    > Do I need the nero to burn with these drives.

    From the error it looks like your drive might not be supported. Just prepare the folders in DVDA and burn with Nero. Sometimes ya’ gotta go with whatever works.

    Have you installed the latest drivers for these drives?

    Supported how and by what?
    Two top line new burners not supported?
    What am I missing here?

    Yes, both of them.

    > Supported how and by what?

    Supported by the DVD Architect code. The error you reported was:

    module sfmmx.cpp line 1974
    an illegal request was recd
    an option was selected in the CDB
    that is not supported by the drive.

    So DVDA made a request that the drive didn’t support.

    > Two top line new burners not supported?

    That’s right. The newer the drive, the less likely the support. DVDA didn’t support my new Pioneer DVR-110D when it first came out. Then after an update the support came.

    > What am I missing here?

    The newer the hardware, the less likely the software to support it. Whether it’s the OS or an application or whatever. If you want a dependable system, always buy parts that are proven to work, not just the latest and greatest.

    Thanks for the info, I had no idea these issues exist.
    Is there somewhere a person can check to see just which burners dvda does support at a given time or does one just take a shot in the dark on these things.

    There use to be a compatibility list on the Sony site but I can’t find it now. I don’t think they maintain it anymore. The knowledge base tells you to update your DVD burner firmware for best compatibility but that’s about it. Not much to go on I know. 🙁

    Well thanks for the time to explain.
    I just enjoy the sony products so much, I hate the fact that they are not compatable at large.

    I did get Nero 8.1.1.4 with this asus burner.
    Do I go all the way through “prepare” in dvda and then transfer to nero somehow to burn?
    thanks again

    You have two options:

    (1) Use Prepare which will prepare the folders with the files you need for the DVD. Then just use Nero to burn the VIDEO_TS folder.

    (2) The other options it use Burn and burn to an ISO file. I believe DVD Architect has an image writer option that writes the disc image. Then use Nero to burn the ISO file.
