Am using anydvd & clonedvd2, both latest versions. This combo has been "super" for me, have made many, many successful backups. Recently was backing up a "24" series of disks (Season 3)and experienced a problem with 3 of the 7 disks completed. The dammed directors comments were activated & I can't turn them off! I have selected the option "off" for them, but it does not activate the function like it should. I used the "clone disk" option in clonedvd2 and checked the "preserve menus" box thinking that this would keep the integrity for the different episodes on the disc in tact. I had this happen once before backing up "Transporter" and had to re-do it to get the directors comments "off - on" to function like it should. I guess I'll have to re-do these others also? Any ideas and/or reasons why I am seeing this happen? I would like to figure this one out -- Looked thru lots & lots of threads on the forum, but couldn't find anything on this. Any ideas? Think there's any chance that Slysoft will get Clonedvd2 to the point where they will incorporate a "merge" function, thus allowing the user to merge 2 dvd 5's onto a single dvd 9 (d/l)? Sure would like to see this happen.
