I just bought and watched "The Gangs of NY". The DVD played well on my player, but when I tried to back it up, I got a messages at 97% of the read cycle saying there was an error and it can't continue. Is this a function of some dvds that just cannot be backed up at all, or is it something I can fix.
this worked for me. There are a few things that you can try that will help clear up any conflicts you might be having: FORCE ASPI & BLACKLIST The following programs can cause problems while using our software: InterActual Player and PC Friendly - These packages can cause many problems including read errors, blocky video on completed copy, SCSI command errors, and DVDXCopy lockups. Please remove in the Add/Remove Programs utility in your Control Panel. Pinnacle Instant CD/DVD also interferes. DirectCD or Drag to Disc (portion of EasyCDCreator), InCD, B's Clip, HP or Veritas DLA - Packet writing software. These programs load special "Filter Drivers" when windows starts that can try and talk to your burner during the copy process. Disabling will not resolve all issues, please completely uninstall via the Add/Remove Programs utility in your Control Panel. To remove DirectCD or Drag to Disc, please use the Change command for EasyCD Creator in your Add/Remove Programs utility in Control Panel. Continue until you are given the option to "Modify", then you should be presented a list of components. Please choose "Not Available" for the DirectCD and/or Drag to Disc components. Spyware - some programs can install other software that can be damaging to your Operating System. Please scan for these programs with a Spyware utility. We recommend Ad-Aware, available freely at Lavasoft.de or Lavasoft.nu If you perform any of these changes, please make sure to reboot your computer before copying. After uninstalling any of these programs, please download FORCE ASPI from this link (we advise downloading to the desktop so that you can find it): ftp://ftp.321studios.com/ASPI/ForceASPI.exe After downloading the file, double click to install it. After installing the ForceASPI file, then double click on the pink icon that it puts on your desktop, and follow the directions. It should make you restart if installed correctly. >Please keep all portions of this email as we need them to continue >support
