why is it that clone dvd spits out any blank dvd i throw in there and tells me that i have inserted bad media. i'm tried 16x speed and now 8 Speed and still no good.
1. Are you using Anydvd 6.1.6.9 and Clonedvd 2.9.1.1? If not, update both programs.
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:

3. Use good quality media (Memorex, Ritek, Princo, Fuji, TDK from Costco, and Maxell that are
not made in Japan are not good quality media).
Are you using inferior blank media? If you're not using Taiyo Yuden Premium, Verbatim, Maxell Plus, or Maxell Broadcast Quality, then chances are the answer is yes.
If you use poor quality blank media, then you should expect problems.
