Hope this is the right forum to post this in....

I made a backup copy of "The Day After Tomorrow", (using ANYDVD & CLONEDVD2, using a NEW Sony DVD R/RW/DL), which seemed to copy just fine.

I then proceded to try out my copy in my tosiba DVD player. Again, it seemed that there were no problems.... Until, about 1/2 way through the movie, I started noticing little artifacts (like data drop outs) here and there (just little colored blocks every now and then). By the time I got to about 2/3 way through the movie it had gotten so bad, that most of the screen was covered with these artifacts most of the time, and even the sound dropped out.

I just checked out the original DVD with DVDInfoPro, (with ANYDVD DISABLED), and it shows that there are errors on it starting at LBA 001bf440h thru LBA 001c08c3h (consective block about in middle of DVD). Checking the copied DVD in DVDRW drive comes (again anydvd disabled) comes up with errors starting at 001boe90 in non consective blocks ranging is size and placement. Its at about 82% now, and every block is coming up at bad now (taking forever, I can post results later if need be). Anything after LBA=001cae30 is coming back bad, and is taking forever.

There are some small scratches on the original (my first though), but it works just fine in my DVD player.

AnyDVD is setup with the "Copy protection based on unreadable sectors" option checked (recommended), where if it finds such a condition it just puts blank sectors there instead. CloneDVD was setup to copy title and preserve Menus. Copied AC2/3 and DTS audio tracks (English only), no subtitles.

Could this be a new/different kind of copy protection? Or should I diable that option so it copys the bad sectors too? Or is this just bad media? Any suggestions are welcomed.

What other tests should I run with DVDInfoPro?

BTW, original movie was copied from, and tested in, a Sony DVD-ROM DDU1613 (region not selected). The copy was made and inspected with DVDInfoPro in a Sony DVD RW DRU-800A (region 1). Media was OfficeMax branded 4.7GB/8X DVD-R.

I'm planning to try to copy it again, but onto a DVD-RW this time (I have enough dammed drink coasters). I'll post what the results were later.
