Hi,
Right now, I am trying to make a copy of Star Trek: The Original Series. (I own it.) I have Season 1 Disc 2, and I can't get it to work on the copy. This is what I've done:
I first used Nero 6.0 to do a regular DVD Copy of it. When I did that, the DVD copied fine, no errors along the way. When I tried to play it, it loaded fine, but the last two episodes (there are four on a disc) froze when I tried to start them.
I then used Padus DiscJuggler to make an image file, then I burned it with Padus. Same results.
I then used DVD Shrink to remove any protection (there was none on S1D2) and made a backup with it. I then burnt it with DVD Decrypter. Same results.
I then used DVD Decrypter under mode: "ISO->Read" to make an iso of it. I got two files on my hard drive and an MDS file. I then burnt it under "ISO->write" without the verify/test options. Same results. I then retried this method with 4x speed (before I burnt it with 8x. Same results.
The DVD I am trying to copy is in perfect condition, it's a mirror (very clean.) My DVD burner is new. And with this particular DVD, I have copied it successfully in the past (with the same media I am using now) and for some reason now it isn't working. I am doubtful it is the DVD burner, as the problem appears in the same exact parts of the DVD.
-When the copied DVD loads in a DVD player, it loads fine. Out of the four episodes on a disc, the first two play perfectly. The menus and selections from the first two episodes are perfect. The last two episodes freeze at the selection menu. I am able to play them on my computer by selecting the video file and dragging the single file (the single file of the episode I want to play) into WinDVD. The selection menus of the last two episodes freeze.
My last futile attempt was the use of AnyDVD. This was a halfa$$ attempt as well. I loaded AnyDVD on my comp. I restarted, then AnyDVD was loaded, and I did the Decrypter -> read:iso, write:iso. No success.
This DVD was burned perfectly in the past with the same exact equipment that is in use now. It is in the same condition. I have no idea how to proceed next. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
