hi i currently use alcohol 120% and tried to make a backup copy of a movie have just purchased. when i opened up the diologe page to set the parameters none were showing and when i went to the copy page the error message said the files were to big to dump. for some reason it is not picking up the dvd correctly. As i had read a fair bit here about clone dvd and any dvd i thought i would give them a go. however i had to use the custom button to lower quality to fit on a 4.6 gig disc. I could find nowhere that i could first do a similation so went ahead and copied. It seemed to copy ok but came up with an error message on playback, itwas somwhting like:
Warning
failed to read dvd:
several reasons: 1) media dirt 2) media damaged 3)drive is a region locked RPC22 drive 4) your drive has not been asigned a region try http://rpc1.com i have used it before to copy so cannot understand this. can anyone have any suggestions.
I am using 2 liton dvd drives drive d is a dvd reader and drive e a dvd r/rw
i have a celeron 2.g system with 1 gig of ram
thanks
Hi wombatwom
Clone and AnyDVD are more than likely telling you that it doesn't like the disc.
Try cleaning it off.
Have your tried both drives to read/rip from?
Which movie is it btw?
hi i have tried to burn the movie twice same result. the movie is Narnia lion witch and wardrobe. I have used the read drive to burn on the fly to e drive
Are you using the latest version of AnyDVD - 6.0.1.1? I thinking you probably have the latest of both though.
It will handle this one. It's what used.
I would also try ripping from your burning (e drive) and see if that drive can rip it.
Give the ripper a try in AnyDVD too.
You can also try ripping w/ DVDFab Decrypter then opening those files in Clone. http://dvdidle.com/free.htm If that fails you may have a bad press and will need to exchange it.
thanks i down loaded both trial versions last thursday so presume both are latest versions. i have used the discs before but to ensure i used 2 different brands and same result
The error you getting from CloneDVD looks like it's coming from the reading/ripping of the original dvd. I don't think you've hit the burn stage yet.
So something's up with the original disc.
Try cleaning it off and using the other drive.
I also had trouble making a backup of The Chronicles of Narnia - I customarily use DVD Shrink to keep the originals away from my kids, but it wouldn't deal with this one.
I managed to get it on hard drive after a couple of attempts with DVDdecrypter, but Shrink still didn't like the files, and wouldn't see the main title. I spent a whole day, even downloaded DVDlabPro and attempted to join the 4 parts of the movie together again, but with no luck (I think this was a learning to use DVDlabPro or lack thereof problem).
As a last resort, I made an Nero imagefile from the full length DVD files, mounted that on a virtual dvd drive and then DVDshrink quite happily allowed me to reauthor the DVD!!! Trim a bit off the end credits, and the disney splash from the start, and you don't even need compression to fit it on a DVD5.
thanks i managed to use dvd dycrypter in conjunction with DVD Shrink which dealt with the encryption. i usedd Nero to burn it but the buttons wouldnt work so just copied the movie any of the usual options.
