**This e-mail is an automatic response and cannot be responded to.**

 

 

to which I have now replied:

 

Thank you for your no-content response!

 

I did search the so-called knowledge base for any reference to error code -108 without any hits. I searched for the words of the error without a hit. I searched on "out of memory" and found nothing relating to this error.

 

I spent time in the discussion groups looking for a thread relating to error -108 and could not find one. I did find several users complain about the apparent lack of support from "Technical Support." I had hoped their experience was isolated but fear it may be more common than not.

 

Would there be anyone in Customer or Technical Support capable of answering what should be a realatively simple question as "What could be the cause of receiving an error -108 (out of memory)?" when trying to record a VIDEO_TS file noting that such an error has not been encounted when using any of the other recording methods to this same drive?

 

I would greatly appreaciate a response addressing the question rather than a generic, probably automated, one that, by the way, took 13 days. Now that's being responsive!

 

Now I ask you in the discussion groups:

 

So, how many of you have encountered the same auto-non-response? Maybe we haven't paid our dues by upgrading and therefore don't deserve a full level of support. Maybe it is better for near term cost effectiveness to not give real answers but let the inflicted do their own triage as best they can. I can assure the folks at Roxio this is NOT a good long term strategy.

 

Am I but one of a few that feel this is not an appropriate approach to customer assistance?

If you search for 108 without the hypen in front you'll likely get results.

 

The error you are getting is because your VIDEO_TS folder is missing some of its original content. If you ripped this yourself then my guess is you didn't do a full disc extraction. Toast reads the IFO file and if it is pointing to files that aren't present in the folder then this error appears. I don't know why the error description is so useless and misleading.
