OK. I have used AnyDVD for awhile. I am getting the APS error and have reloaded the Original DVD several times. No small feat as it "reads 67.6 GB. AnyDVD has scanned it with the following results.

Using the Clone DVD program, it finds and repairs the defective file structure and begins the cloning process Halfway into it, I get the voice "Oh no ..................." and it tells me that it cannot copy a file protected DVD. So, apparently, there is a protection on the files that AnyDVD did not remove. Clone DVD identifies it as an Analog Protection or APS.
Not being a computer Marine, can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.
