but with this new version the backed up dvd's just will not do anything in the dvd player or in the laptop dvd driver.
Since Anydvd doesn't burn, this isn't an Anydvd issue. The problem
you're having has nothing to do with the Anydvd version you're using.
And, in fact, you were having this problem before.
Please stop creating new threads about the exact same thing; use your existing thread.
1) a)State the specific version(s) of the burning application(s) you are using (and stating "latest versions" isn't sufficient information; use full version numbers), and b)the specific version(s) of whatever other burning application(s) you have installed on your system.
2) What blank media are you using? Specify a) brand name b)type (-R, +R, -RW, +RW, RAM, DL, etc.) c)media code, d) capacity/size, e) batch codes/serial codes (often found printed on the inner plastic hub of the blank disc), and f)country (factory information would be great as well, if possible) where the media was made (look on the physical packaging; do not rely on programs to accurately give you this information).
If you don't know how to obtain media codes, you may find the following programs useful:
