I'm a little slow on the uptake, but after someone informed me that CloneDVD didn't copy Blu-Ray, I thought I was all set. I used the copy "Rip DVD" to hard disk option on AnyDVD HD, and it gets to about 65% completion and then fails. The stated error is "Failed to read DVD." It then goes on to mention 4 possible reasons. The only one that seems likely is the Region setting warning. I can go ahead and set the region, but I have sucessfully ripped Casino Royal without it set, so I'm wondering if that is really the culprit.
