Question for DVD burning gurus
I have 'backed up' hundreds of DVD's. Broke thru the lastest and greatest protection software. Never met a movie I couldn't copy. But the following has me stumped.
A couple of weeks ago I installed the then latest version of AnyDVD. All was well except my old DVD Rom which I use as a reader will not recognize factory burned DVD's. It reads CD's, CDR's and DVDR's, but not DVD Rom's. I have updated the firmware, reinstalled older versions of AnyDVD and tried every trick I can find by Googling. Seems lots have this issue with no good solutions. The drive is old so it could be dying. I have successfully read discs with it by uninstalling the drive and other burning related software, but now it is dead again and will not read. I have uninstalled Alcohol and CloneDVD which apparently can set up ghost drives to no avail. Any help?

Have you tried 321 XCopy? Its way out of print but still cracks anything.
As far as the DVD that does not work you do not need two DVD's with the above program. Might try that. You can find it on the 'net otherwise email me.

Updating an old thread.
Have for several years used 321Studios DVD Xcopy to backup my DVD's for use when I travel. Tried it for a few days on my new Casino Royale DVD and it keeps popping up with an error and closes the program. Anyone else had this problem?

Yup, Casino Royale has several layers of copy protection ... no luck so far

321 worked great for a while...most of the studios have fixed the protection to cause those errors you noted...
I still got 321..but I use DVD fab decrypter Platinum... Nice GUI and will allow you to seperate large movies into mulitple disks if you aren't using a Dual Layer DVD for example.... http://www.dvdfab.com/free.htm The free version will take the copy protection off and then you can burn the video files to DVD using Nero or any other authoring software... Good Luck. HelmetHead |

Or if your cheap, like me, you can use the free version of dvdfab and copy to your hard drive, then use dvdshrink to fit on a standard dvdr.
