Well, I'm stuck again... I decided to go back to Nero Ultra 6.6. Recode2 ver. is 2.2.6.17 after having a few issues with the latest and greatest of Nero 7.0 (not to mention that every time I tried to enter my serial key for the "Advanced Audio" plugin into Smartstart, it would crash) and of course getting coasters) Anyway, I've used DVDD, and then Recode2 and told the Nero to create an ISO image. (I built a little machine for mainly backing up only, but no burner in it yet.) I then used Daemon Tools to load the ISO image and Media Player to play the file. The image starts to play, but all it plays are the Ads, then no movie. I've even tried using PowerDVD. Also, I've even tried using Ultra ISO 7.x to convert the .nrg to an .ISO I've never, ever ran into this issue before. Any Ideas why this would be happening? Could it be something with Nero? I've loaded the non-re-encoded decrypted files themselves and they play fine. Thanks for your thoughts
