Okay fellas, I'm getting one today! Fort Worth doesn't carry 80wire cables in the 7/11s like they might in the rest of the country.
Thank you fellas for your time in this matter.
So why does THIS work?
I did my best to follow Webslinger's instructions to the letter. Is there nothing though to there being several long time users who are now coming up with this issue?
BTW, I haven't had the chance to get the 80wire yet, but here's the crazy thing. I don't have problems right now, if I do the following. Why the heck would this work?
If I launch Anydvd, or let it be there as a TSR in the system tray from a system reboot...then launch clonedvd and try it, i get the encrypted sector error.
What IS working for me, so far, only discovered through hours of trial and error is to do the following.
1. Anydvd is not running. It is closed, exited, not in the system tray...
2. Launch Clonedvd with the movie in the drive already. Leave Clonedvd on its first page where you can select clone dvd/select dvd titles, etc.
3. THEN I launch anydvd. Let it report that it is scanning the disc.
4. Then I use clonedvd as I had been using it for the past several months.
So far so good. Has worked on a variety of CSS protected discs we own, from a variety of movie studios, using a variety of copy protection technologies. No problems at all.
So why does THIS work? Please note I haven't bought that 80wire solution yet. I have made no other system changes (installs, un-installs) etc. I came about this through nothing but trial and error.
The only person having that issue is you, so the issue is something in your computer. I personally think it is a software conflict with what you described above. Something is interfering with ANYDVD when it tries to access the drive. Can you post your Upper and Lower filters again to see what changes have occured?
He appears to have done so here
But that was 3 days ago. Who knows what has changed since.
And most newer burners require to be the Master.
You are using Sonic DLA or another nasty filesystem from Sonic or Roxio like Drag to Disc?I did my best to follow Webslinger's instructions to the letter. Is there nothing though to there being several long time users who are now coming up with this issue?

Moreover, most 18x burners (the Plextor Px-760a which is a 16x burner requires a 80 wire cables as do later Pioneer burners) I'm aware of require an 80 wire cable in order to function properly. He's using a 40 wire cable.
But we are talking about *reading* from the disc.

and then after switching to an 80 wire cable like he should have to begin with visit http://forum.slysoft.com/showpost.php?p=28667&postcount=19

Okay, you are indeed the man! I'll stay away from hardware related issues from now on... (but I still believe something "strange" is going on on the software)
Well that dragtodisc or directcd stuff that was once on Fortworth's system may not be properly removed. So, that's probably a good bet as well.
I have no idea how to go about troubleshooting the proper removal of that dragtodisc software (if it wasn't removed properly with the uninstaller). I wish people would code their uninstallers properly.
Just delete the junk from the list of lower filters in
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}"

Cdr4_xp.sys appears to be gone now.
It doesn't hurt (much) to delete all the filters (upper & lower) and reinstall AnyDVD. Don't forget to reboot! Maybe there are ancient versions of the other filters which *had* serious bugs a couple of years ago... ??
