First time AnyDVD and CloneDVD user; also DVD-RB discussions within

In DVDFab, there are a few discs that after I get the "successful copy" popup, I click on finish, and then I remove the DVD. Then I receive the message, "Error while reading! Please choose what to do" Retry, abort, ignore, ignore all are the options. Since I reached the successful burn screen first, should I be able to just not worry about this error message, or is there likely something wrong?

 

Another error I get with DVDFab sometimes is "DVDFab encounters a reading error (may be caused by copy protection) which can be removed by using PathPlayer, the technology employed in DVDFab. Please note when Pathplayer is enabled, opening a DVD may take up to several minutes. Would you like to restart DVDFab to enable PathPlayer for this DVD".

Do I just need to click yes every time I see this message to be on the safe side?

 

Hopefully I can just ignore those errors. However, here is an error that is more concerning. In DVD RB while ripping Pulp Fiction, when I reached 100% it says: error in updateIFO:vts_fo_vobid:07/cellid:01 was not found in the vob. might this be because this is a movie with some 2 angle scenes?

 

Creaky is right on. Just click YES, DvdFab will restart with PathPlayer enabled. I've had a few movies that required that to adequately rip.

 

i have a problem with the dvds im buring i can make copies fine with nero 7 but i cant make a downladed file such as the hulk and put it on a blank dvd it comes with no sound only sound in the begining of each chapter the its silet please help im new to this completly

 

You should copy only DVDs you actually own and not burn downloaded movies.

 

If there are 2 audio streams and they are both 2 channel AC3 English, I have been selecting only the first one. Should I be keeping both?

 

Are there times these 2 tracks would both be used, like blended together to play at the same time? Why would there be two similar tracks? usually a directors track is labeled such, as well as different language tracks.

 

the directors comments can be in the 2 channel audio also . your best bet is to use the 5.1 audio only

 

I already ripped and encoded some where there were only 2 channel audio and I just selected the first one listed. I better give those a listen to see. Hopefully it is obvious right away if I got the right one or not.

 

trotsky77, if its any help, I to am a perfectionest when it comes to my tv viewing, I will not burn anything under 70% unless I split it, to most people thats a pain in the ass but I prefer a solid picture, getting up once to view part two is no biggie to me, and no will not pay the DL price, still way to expensive, and I only use clone and anydvd, for non-techies like me its simple and quick, you dont have to rack your brain and go crazy with different configs, plus clone and anydvd is second to none with upgrades and help.

 

So after all of this I am still having issues. The only thing left I can think of is that I have been using a variety of bad players. The newer player I have is the Toshiba SD-4100. 5 minutes into Forrest Gump it already skipped. Next I hooked up my older Toshiba, SD-2800 and it played through that part fine. I want to have discs that I can feel confident playing at home or in other players if I bring them with when visiting people.

I am completely exhausted. I have tried everything and I feel extremely discouraged right now. I have tried many solid programs that are out there, and I also replaced my laptop, burner and media.

Any suggestions?

 

if its playing fine on certain DVD players then its not the software. I use tayio Yuden DVD-R burning at 8x max and they playback fine on any DVD player i throw them at.

so very important use good media and keep your burn speed at 8x max. are you doing this? what brand of media and what burn speed are you using?

other things that can cause problems

1. laptops aren't the best for backing up DVDs

2. desktop machines work much better

3. box system (Dell/HP etc.) with preloaded software can cause problems

the best combo to backup DVDs is to use a custom build machine(desktop) with your own OS (Windows XP / PRO without preloaded software built in to it

 

When I used DVD Shrink, I had issues in both of these players, as well as the dell player, and a player on a PS2. Maybe the one player will play fine now since I am no longer using Shrink. However, it would be nice to burn DVDs that can play in all/most players.

I am still using Verbatim DVD-R 16X media and burning at 8X.
