I am a registered user of CloneDVD2. AnyDVD is running. I open CloneDVD2 I click Clone DVD button I select DVD video files: G:\The_Tomorrow_Man, but it says G:/VIDEO_TS in the box. No idea why the slash is forward. Everything else is selected I click Next Audio and Subtitle Settings, everything is selected I click Next Output Method: DVD Files Output Directory: e:/DVD/Tomorrow_Man/VIDEO_TS (no idea why slashes are forward) I click Go And I get the following error message: Creation of DVD files was not successful. C:\Program Files\CloneDVD2\eraser\PAL\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO: unable to open file The system cannot find the path specified. Please be sure that all required files are available and try again. The above makes no sense to me whatever. The disc is NTSC, not PAL, and I did not tell the program to write anything to drive C:. Please tell me how to get this infernally frustrating program to work. I am fed up with trying over and over and over again. It has done this 100% of the time, about ten times now.

Hi, Ireland! Ye'r instructions worked indeed! Any idea how the program became corrupted? I couldn't find any config files to change. It is busy creating DVD files as I type. While the problems I've mentioned involved the installation of CloneDVD2, the disc itself had some kind of problem -- Apollo DVD Copy and DVD Shrink could not fully read the DVD, although DVD Fab Gold could (I had set it to ignore errors, but such a setting is not available in other software). If CDVD2 gets past the end of vts_01_2.vob, it will join DVD Fab Gold in being able to get past read errors (or whatever the problem is with the disc). The disc plays ok, btw. It just passed the end of 1_2, so I think the creation of the video files will be ok. Thx much for your help! "Top o' the marnin' to ye!"
@bobholm............... If you're trying to burn a dvd, the Output Method should be "DVD Writer". Is the movie a downloaded movie, or copying a copy? If so, it could very easily be PAL format.
Hi, JVC. The problem is already solved, but to respond to your comments: I never copy directly to DVD; I copy to HDD and then burn from there. The movie is a purchased, used DVD which I own. I am making a backup copy. The menus within the program make sense. It was the program's irrational behaviour at the start (corrected by uninstalling and reinstalling) that was the incomprehensible problem.
@bobholm..... Doing it that way, still puts a copy on the HD first, in a folder called CloneDVD Temp. It just automatically starts the burning process, so you don't have to. Once you start it, you can go about your business, and not worry about it, until it's finished. This all depends on having a dvd rom drive to read the original. If you don't have the rom drive to read, forget what I said........ ) Glad you got it working again.
