  • Encore doesn’t recognize DLT drive

    Posted by Bill Johns on October 11, 2010 at 12:36 pm

    I just bought a DLT drive to master a DVD with CSS copy protection for replicating and even though Quantum’s xTalk sees the drive and says it’s fine, encore won’t.

    Do I need to re-install the software? Just curious if anyone has had this happen to them and what to do about it.

    Thanks so much

    I just did a complete re-install of the Adobe CS4 suite but to no avail.

    The drive is a Quantum DLT1, but the xTalk sees it as a DLT7000. I downloaded a backup program called Quarantine and it works fine too.
    I’m running Vista 64bit.

    hi bill,
    as far as I know Encore couldn´t read/write DLT-tapes, not CS5 nor any versions before.

    you need to have a seperate application like gearmaster pro (on PC) or DVD AfterEdit ME (on MAC) for that.

    cheers

    Hi Bill ,

    It seems that you are on PC ( Vista or win 7) . If your tape gets recognized in Device manager and not in Encore . Right click on Encore icon and Launch Encore as Administrator. Encore will recognize DLT .

    Encore CS5 has a new feature called DDP image , from which you can directly burn DDP images with copy protection and send it for replication, no need for DLT.

    I hope your issue will be resolved.

    Thanks
    Minu

    Minu’s right, you simply have to run the program as administrator and viola! the tape deck is there. So much for proper documentation from Adobe. I already built a master, so we’ll see how it works. Thanks All!
