I hate jumping in to the middle, but I have a question. I used ANYDVD in background, and then CLONEDVD2 to copy dvd from one drive to another. It copied the video great but it had the director comments over the soundtrack. Really dont care what they have to say. I used the COPY DVD TITLES function, and then unchecked the foreign languages etc. All went well except on the audio with directors comments. Suggestions on what I did wrong?
uncheck the 2 channel audio and use the 4 channel/5.1 channel etc. instead. that should do it. always uncheck the directors comments if its listed also and most the time you can play with your dvd remote and get the correct audio
Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I will try all next time I copy. I also got the following info from SUPPORT at ELBY: "In case you leave out the DVD menu the DVD player cannot decide what sound track is the original one. It plays a random track. In most cases you cannot switch the sound tracks with the remote because the link to the DVD menu is not present on the copy. Always preserve the DVD menu. - Some menu parts can be disguised as normal titles! You have to browse through the title list of the source DVD in order to locate hidden menu parts. - Some DVDs contain two versions of the same main movie. One version is the original, one features only the director's comment. The director's version usually is a few seconds or some minutes longer than the original version. - Sometimes the AC3/2 sound track is director's-comment-only." All of the suggestions make sense and will help me alot. THANKS FOR ALL OF THE HELP.
just upgraded to vista and i just would like to say this...the software which was easiest for me to switch over was AnyDVD. Software made specifically for Vista had me run into more snags then AnyDVD given the nature of Vista towards copyright etc...
btw...if a dvd is scratched and all backup software is refusing to read it and backup(including Nero Recode 2, DVD Shrink and AnyDVD) and it keeps skipping when played on my standalone DVD player is all hope lost?
