As per your advice I updated my firmware for my burner. I have had NERO and updated the software to the fullest I could without purchasing the new version (7). I also installed the update for CloneDVD2 (version 2.9.0.3). After this I tried again with the same results. The Verbatim media would not write in Clone DVD2 (message: Please insert recordable media into drive") and the Sony media did burn but resulted in the same message on my stand alone (" Play Prohibited, Please Check Disk"). What has been throwing me for a loop is that this issue just started very recently. I have backed up hundreds of disks using DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter and had never ran into this issue until now.

I am not sure if one of the AnyDVD updates could have done this or what. Also, and I hate to even ask this question for fear of appearing a complete idiot, but here it goes. I do not have some of the originals for my back ups, is it possible that by trying to copy a copy I may only be continuing my issue. If so, I will begin banging my head on my desk........and bowing to the club.cdfreak gods........
