Can't Make Copies of Backups ?

I believe what CoreBus is talking about is the protection that Sony puts on some of there dvd movies can cause problems backing them up.

I use AnyDvd and have never had any problems.

 

For the 'new' copy protection I use AnyDVD , or Vob blanker...

For making copies of already backed-up movies I use Alcohol 120% , I also use this prog for all my CD's, image files, and for DVD's that I don't need to shrink, and that don't have any special copy protection...

 

hi,

it's definalty the label. I have stoped labeling my discs awhi8le ago. Try removing the label with luke warm water and then try to backup. becareful not to put to much ressure on teh disc when doit so.

Goodluck,
j

 

Just another point, this thread seems to have touched on several different things but I've found that when backing up from a backup that my dvd rom would not read dvd+r and I had to update firmware so someone else may run into that too. Also, and I was never able to verify but one of the senior members suggested to me that if a backup is burned too close to the edge (or maximum capacity) that the disk may not be able to be read properly, so now I've set my output at right about 4.3 Gb max wheras I was burning upto...I think 4.6 or so. I'm not saying that this is the answer but maybe it will help someone.

 

I'm having problems geting backups to burn;

I've tried Alcohol 120, and DVDFab, in addition to Shrink/1click copy.

The Label is intact, and in perfect shape; No visible prints on disc; Plays perfectly in DVD-Rom/DVD Player; Media might be HP (6 months old); Originally created with DVD-Shrink(4x speed)

Any suggestions? (Other then to stop using HP media, because I did)

Are these backup copies that you are trying to re-rip for extra copies?

HP uses quite a bit of cmag media.If those are paper/sticker labels-that can also give you problems. Reripping will be more difficult.

Are you getting CRC errors?

Even though those paper/sticker labels look perfect,they can still throw off the balance and build up heat. Later on,they may start peeling up. Try removing one of them and then burn one.
