I have installed VSL successfully from both Pioneer SCSI, LG IDE and what-not drives. 4 different drives - no problems.

reassuring to hear that, simon, we put them on a list of *VSL-prooven drives*[;)]
besides that i'd like to mention: we carried out a spot check on a lot (10?) different DVD-drives, and only mine failed in a first run
hopefully this issue isn't going to continue ...

Hi Crystal,
I hope your DVD problem has been taken care of by now. My Windows 98 also displayed '1289.099 minutes left'.
The workaround I found for that goes like this:
as soon as you see this message (it usually came after the first half of the disc was copied), terminate the copying process and simply copy the remaining gig files by hand.
a bit crude but it works...
Cheers,

Hi, axman.
Yes.
Windows again...
Now we know that the '8216102938920489238492394502323478572459998373736672' problem, (I exaggerate) is... normal.
Pfff....
(French word...)
cm gives us an interesting reason why.
Now my LG drive is so cheap that I can't even read the directory. So I'll try to find a new one (and a good one) tomorrow.
(Today I've spend all my time to find a Master Keyboard. Fatar is out for me. Rest Doepfer or Oberheim...Hard to get in France. So I'll have to buy a Roland RS9...)
as soon as you see this message (it usually came after the first half of the disc was copied), terminate the copying process and simply copy the remaining gig files by hand.
Your're right. I'll try this way if troubles continue.

I had problems with my NEC DV-5700b so I did the same i.e. drag the instrument folders to my giga drive one at a time. I know it's not related to a HD and DVD on the same IDE channel - for my setup anyway. The extra transfer time helps build suspense, anticipation and character. [[;)]]

Problem solved !
I bought a new drive : LITEON DVD 16X 24X, Bulk version (45 Euro)
A bit slow, but it works...
With all DVDs, even the percussion DVD which falls on the floor ! (just a bit striped)
It seems that Liteon is the manufacturer for many trade mark (Nec, Sony, etc...)
I just have to proceed step by step, files by files, like csduke said. No more ‘12342345645762412 (etc...)’ problems.
Just an indication : around 30 minutes per DVDs. (I think my drive runs slowly, it’s not warm, even after one houre non-stop...)
Conclusion : My problem really was a drive problem.
So everything is fine.
Thank you all !
Thank you VSL !
Thank you Herb !
SMACK !

Just one more thinking.
I think that planing a Hard Disk Edition is... a good idea.
How many GB for the Pro Edition ?
Maybe more than 25 DVDs, I suppose...
And I don’t speak about the Synphonic Cube... 250GB... Jesus !
Well for a professional using, I think a Hard Disk is preferable.
Not to use it.
But for easy ‘safe copy’ on another HD first, and then transferts on each Giga or EXS stations, with a HD to HD rate of flow... especially with USB 2 or Firwire (Firewire 800 now...).
That’s the way I see it...
