Well, I finally got XXX to work with clonedvd! thank you all for your support. i don't know why it worked this time and not the others...
ed1275 glad it finally worked CloneDVD 2 with anydvd if a great combo. one thing that might help is making sure your system is clean as in a disc cleanup and a defrag. thats really important if your ripping lots of dvds .i do mine weekly
