Well guys . . .

I am using 5012 beta that just came out and I tried again and got the same result -- timed out . . . task manager end now . . . no joy.

And for kicks I tried 4120 again - with & without pathplayer and some other options I remembered from other posts -- same result as 5012 --- no joy.

I was just about to really get my hands dirty with options and fixes when it dawned on me.

Feng has given us all we need in most cases to do anything and get through any problem. DOn't over complicate. Sometimes instead of the nuke or the phaser you just need an old-fashioned gun.

So I tried my DVDFAB 3.xxxx version which I keep for situations just like this.

It made a PERFECT backup of the DVD.

I then went on and tested it with my Golden Compass, Hero Wanted,
Backwoods, Battlestar Galactica Season 3 dvd's to name a few.

You already know what happened.

Keep your old versions folks . . .

Aint no such thing as junk on this site . . . .
