Hey geys heres my issue I have a compaq 1750nx with a dual layer dvd burner. I had been using any dvd and clone dvd with no problems. but my dvd rom died. so i went and got a hitachi 8000 . Now when I tried o copy a dvd using the rom as the reader my fox goes dull. and clone dvd said this dvd is copy protected. now I thought that any dvd fixed that. I neer had this problem before. and I paid for the software so i want to use it
@dyson77, Right click Anydvd, go into settings, drives. Does Anydvd recognize your Hitachi? If not, I would suggest uninstalling, then reinstall.
Uninstall and reinstall Anydvd, that is. Your Hitachi should show up in 'drives' with a tick. I believe you can option to leave the registry key when uninstalling. In the past you could. The fox should dull, then turn red again if working properly.
ok, heres what i did ran setting and it showed my dvd rom uninstalled any dvd re installed any dvd rebooted ran clone dvd with star wars e2, and it said thatit was copy protected, then it said failed to read dvd and gave 4 diffrent options. dirty dvd, dvd region code etc
It doesn't help when you multipost your questions, how are people supposed to keep track? http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/379354
i didnt double post, I was told it was in the wrong section and it was moved. thanks for the info though
What region are you? As you have a new drive, do this first: Go to my computer, right click local disc c, properties, hardware, find your dvd-rom drive, highlight it, properties, dvd region, then check your region
@dyson77, Anydvd should have taken care of the region codes. I was getting the copy protected error with my DvdXCopy and a new drive. The above was how I fixed it. I would suggest you trying to read with your burner drive and if that comes up with errors, you need to clean the disc. It could be dirty or scratched.
Here is AnyDvd, StarWarsll, region 1 Summary for drive D: (AnyDVD 6.0.4.5) Drive (Hardware) Region: 1 Media is a Data DVD. Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 2 (opposite) Size of first Layer: 2012400 sectors (3930 MBytes) Total size: 4016660 sectors (7845 MBytes) Video DVD (or CD) label: ATTACK_OF_THE_CLONES_D1 Media is CSS protected! Video Standard: NTSC Media is locked to region(s): 1! Found & removed RCE protection! DVD structure appears to be correct. Structural copy protection not found. Found & removed Autorun from Video DVD! Bad sector protection not found. Emulating RPC-2 drive with region 1! This is my burner drive which is set at region1. (media locked to region 1) I used unofficial firmware on my rom drive, it shows as region free (not locked)
Have you tried re-installing?? Is the new drive otherwise working well, i.e., can you play music cds and dvds with no problem???
Good to know it worked. My older burner/dvd rom drives came region set, but for some reason my newer ones weren't. I ran into the same problem, but using DvdXCopy. Happy burning!
