I rented 2 other copies to try them, one would open all video titles in the right pane of CloneDVD (step 2, after selecting the proper drive), but would say unable to find E:/VIDEO_TS in the preview pane, where it plays the movie. If I continued, then when i attempted to start the copying process, it would give me the "Unable to find E:/VIDEO_TS" error, although it could list the titles, times, chapers, and audio formats.
The other DVD halted at about 1 sec later in the movie than the previous copies.
Both originals play perfectly in my Xbox, and DVD player.
I have seen movies, such as Spanglish , where one DVD is unable to be copied, but get a different DVD and it works perfect. I was hoping that my DVD was one of those "bad presses", but after renting 2 copies and neither of them working properly, I seriously doubt that.
I understand that some people are ticky about their media, but I personally see no point in it. As long as my burner and DVD likes the media, I'm sticking with it (especially if its cheap). I have had problems with cheap DVD readers (ie. Xbox, $40 Wal-Mart player, etc...). My previous DVD Player (Sony Dream System) played perfectly any DVD that I would burn. Unfortunately I burned a few DVD's only w/ DTS, then my Sony DVD player crapped out and i've been using my Xbox, which is kinda ticky on media and don't have DTS so some movies don't have sound, but thats my fault.
I have burned over 500 movies and < 2% have been coasters. Majority of which had smudges on the back where my kid picked it up w/o me knowing. Also, I've tried this movie on different media, and the problems follow the media. So that should rule out the media. Plus if it was the media, it shouldn't have the same error at the same place in the same movie, 6x in a row.
The only thing in common with all problems are software (AnyDVD and CloneDVD, which has been great), and Movie (but I haven't seen other people having problems with X-Men). So, that makes me think that it may be a problem on my machine.
