Well I tried the new 5.2.7.1 of AnyDVD... still did not copy correctly... PS2 gives an error while loading the disk... Any ideas? I used Copy to DVD program to burn it. Should I maybe be using CloneDVD straight from movie disk to the dual layer disk? Oh and there is a weird folder on the original disk... Called Jacket_P It contains 3 mp2 files. When I copy they are no longer there... is that the invalid dvd structure? If so it is definitely not being fixed. I'm leaving for the week and would love to bring a copy of it with me. Could my problem just be that because Hitch is a sony movie that the sony PS2 won't like a copy of it?

You dont need to use Dual Layer unless you want a perfect 1-1 copy. I recommend trying to copy just the main movie to a DVD-R Disc and give it a rip.

CloneDVD works great with AnyDVD..I recommend purchasing it. The best support you will ever get for your buck. I too tried many other DVD Copy programs, but I always came back to using AnyDVD & CloneDVD...so I purchased them both. Constant updates keep you ready for whatever protection is behind the next corner. (Example: Hitch)

Well a dual layer is what I use for Copy #1 anyways... maybe remove the useless stuff like previews but otherwise I like to keep the disk quality as is. Compression on Coach Carter made for some psychadelic ties that the coach wore... and the credits at the end were a bit psychadelic too... lol Anyhow, that's my too bits... I'm guessing it is hard to copy because there are way too many copy protections on it and that stupid Wrong DVD file structure doesn't help at all... I've removed all the bogus audio and video files using DVD Shrink. Hopefully that will solve my problem... Can I reauthor it and just take everything that is left? Will that give me essentially a 1:1 copy of everything useful?

TheSisko

Oops, never reauthored before... guess that destroys the menu... I'm sure AnyDVD will eventually be able to copy Hitch without a hitch...

I couldn't agree more with post#82 Slysoft is the best support the industry has ever had always rapid results. Quality is well asured and very strong decryption of almost all protection methods. What can I say Slysoft is the only quality product still updating against new protections.

This is not related to an AnyDVD/ CloneDVD problem.

I tried copying "Hitch" with AnyDVD with DVD X Copy Platinum/ 1click dvd copy and Intervideo DVD Copy and I got no results. I got good news. It appears that These DVD movies from SONY/Columbia are not protected with MacroVision. SO that means that you can copy it with a DVD recorder/VCR with no problems.

You really should give CloneDVD a try.

yep, switch off anydvd, start dvddecrypter (version 3.5.4.0)
and decrypt to disc, burn with clonedvd, no probs

Okay, I just tried a full backup of Hitch R1 Widescreen with AnyDVD 5.2.7.1.
CloneDVD 2.8.4.1: No Problem.
Shrink 3.2: No Problem.
Case closed.

I also tested Hitch (R1 Widescreen).
It is easily backed up with DVDDeCryptor 3540 (output files) - and the resulting files are processed just fine by DVDShrink with no problems. This was done without AnyDVD at all. I also assume the files could be processed and burned with CloneDVD2 with no problems, but I did not test that.

I'm with Ollie on this, I know how frustrating in can be, I'm the guy that had all the trouble with 3 new copies of Beyond the Sea (never did get it right), but I had no problems with Hitch at all with AnyDVD/CloneDVD.

hi....used latest edition of anydvd and clonedvd to rip 'hitch'...it worked perfectly..........region 1...widescreen.......i wanted to see what all the fuss was about.....

to be honest....usually all of the errors i've encountered lately have been because of bad media.....

New to all this and shopping for software like AnyDVD.

And I'll be damned if Hitch wasn't the first movie I tried to backup!!

DVDXCopy Platinum, Simple mode would always hang at 80% of the copy to disk. Uninstalled AnyDVD and installed DVD Region + CSS Free...absolutely no problems and had I had my credit card, would have bought it and never looked back at AnyDVD.

But, I came back to see if it was me or anyone else was having the problem. Despite the flat out arrogance of Ollie saying that there was no way it's a problem with AnyDVD, I'm giving AnyDVD a second look because of the response from SlySoft.

I'll try the new version and if it works, I'm sold.

You have no idea what you're talking about implying Olli is arrogant.
More often then not it's user error, he shares his extensive knowledge and time voluntarily, you shouldn't describe it as arrogance but rather confidence in what he is saying.

BTW I copied Hitch Region 1, movie and menu's, without the slightest problem using latest versions of Clone and AnyDVD.

Oh, he probably is right. I can be an arrogant sicko sometimes.
He was using DVDXCopy, not CloneDVD. Although this is definately his fault (hey, I am arrogant again! ), I can't comment on AnyDVD's performance with DVDXcopy, as I simply do not know and do not care. I tried XCopy & XCopy Express a long time ago and it sucked big time. Never used it again.
I am glad, that it is SlySoft's job (and not mine!) to make AnyDVD work with all the software around.
I am not sure how much research and time they invest in a dead product (how long is it dead now? One year?).

Im in uk I have just made sure I have the lastest versions of any dvd and clone dvd put reg 2 copy of hitch in and within 5 secs I got invalid block code and went for further instructions and I got PS 10 VOBU 4 14 14 Clone 6 TCE any ideas???

@mjdj1689

try AnyDVD 5.2.4.2 and the latest beta 5.2.7.1

Well, I hope it works for you this time around, but I am constrained to point out that although I don't know Olli personally, I'm sure I can't call anyone 'arrogant' who has posted almost 2,000 times, helping people for free in this forum. He obviously does that b/c he wants to help.

Anyone can understand if you're frustrated and having trouble with trying to make a backup. However, it will not win friends or more help to saying things like that about people.

Hi frisk where can I find the beta version on the site I just downlload the updates when I get a message saying tyo upgrade??
