Hi all,
I am very pleased with this program thus far. I had previously been a user of 321's DVD XCopy and I believe this one to be a bit superior.
However, I have encountered a couple of problems:
#1 As a math teacher, I was hopig to make back-ups of a Calculus Instructional DVD Series I own. It is a 4-disc package. I currently own 2 such sets but they under go heavy use as I will occasionally allow a student to borrow a disc if need be. When trying to backup any one of the 8 discs, I always get the Cyclic Redundancy Error which I am assuming is due to hevy scratches on the disc. I will admit they are pretty bad--although they seem to play alright for the most part. But as I understand it, just because they play OK doesn't mean they will read OK prior to their burn.
I have used a "Disk Doctor" resurfacing tool on a couple of the discs only to still receive the CRE message.
I'm curious as to whether either of the following could be solutions to my problem:
a. I know this sounds crazy, but I have heard of peole who actually submerged their scratched discs into boiling water for 2 minutes only to discover that they come come out good as new. Unless anyone can substantiate this, I am quite relectant to try this.
or
b. I am fairly certain that I have had a student or two in the past succesfully make a copy of these discs -- (using some other program that I do not recall.) Can AnyDVD and CloneDVD make a copy of a copy?
#2 My second issue is with trying to backup either of the discs in the Kissology II set. (I know Calculus and Kiss are quite opposite ends of the spectrum). I don't know exactly what the error message is that I get as I am not at my personal PC right now. But I do recall it has something to do with the size of the disc being too big for the writable media I was using.
I figure if I purchased Dual Layer DVDs and set the menu accordingly I'd be OK, yet I still get this message when trying to copy. The actual discs are Verbatim DVD +R DL.
Here is my AnyDVD description of the Kissology DVD:

Thanks for your patience in reading this rant....any suggestions reagarding either case would be most appreciated.
