Anytime I open one of my original DVDs, which is Region 4, with AnyDVD, the legend "This player is incompatible with the region marking of this disc." appears.

Even when I go ahead and burn the DVD, it won't play on any DVD player (multiregion, Zone 1 or Zone 4). The original would play in the multiregion or Z4, but the copy won't.

Any suggestions?

You should set AnyDVD to region 4.

It is already set to Region 4. When AnyDVD opens PowerDVD, instead of the movie, a blue screen with the legend appears.

If I don't set AnyDVD as Region 4, a window from PowerDVD would say that the disc is from a region different to the one set up in the system.

So one is a screen, and the other is a window from the program.

Might this be caused by the firmware in the dvd drive being set to a different region than the dvd actually is?

The DVD I am trying to back up is the James Bond "Tomorrow Never Dies", it is region 4, and it seems that this legend is in the movie itself. When I use CloneDVD, in the first step, you can see the movie perfectly (in the little preview window), but once you burn the disc, the legend appears. I tried using DVD Decrypter, same thing happened.

and you have checked all feature removals in AnyDVD settings?

Perchance your computer DVD device isn’t a Matshita (Panasonic) device is it? The reason I ask is because Matshita (Panasonic) devices are problematic and have Region Code problems when changing Region Codes

I am having the same problem. The Original Bond movies are playing normally on my DVD Player.... But once i copy them the copies give a blue screen with the "This player is is incompatible with the region marking of this disc".

Is this some kind of new copy protection? How do i bypass it?

You could try flashing your DVDrom drive and make it RPC-1. Then you can change your drive to R4 and rip the disk then change it back to its normal region without loosing any resets.

I have noticed you said AnyDVD is used , but no Version # is given, also you gave no info on the Clonedvd you are using , are you using Elbays Clonedvd2 or the Generic?
please provide a little more info..

Mabe Region Code Script removal doesn't work correctly for this movie? You should send the .ifo files (disable AnyDVD first) to SlySoft support. If it is broken, they will fix it.
