I have made several posts on CDFreaks regarding this latest update and the results I am now seeing. Should I post here as well or have you all seen them?
Thanks.
Hi Tristyn. Can you attach the entire zip file to a post in this forum so we can take a look? It contains more than just the log you posted on CDFreaks. Thanks!
Also, Tristyn, do the originals play on your machine with AnyDVD enabled? Or is this just a problem playing the backups?
Yes, the original plays fine. Attached is the .zip for the same DVD as above.
Tristyn said:CDR4_XP (system32\drivers\CDR4_XP.sys), Version 8.0.0.212 (8.0.0.212)
Company: Sonic Solutions, Product: Drag-to-Disc
This packet writing drag to disc garbage from Sonic has got to go.
Uninstall it, and ensure it no longer appears in your filters.
Here's how you check:
a) Download imgburn. It's a free program: http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
(it's also an excellent program imo)
b) Go to Tools > Filter Driver Load Order. Is CDR4_XP still there? If it is you need to
1)Backup your registry.
2) Select CDR4_XP and select "Remove Selected Filter". Reboot
It doesn't matter if you've had this junk on your system for years. It needs to go.
Thanks, Tristyn. I believe you said you tried to disable the AI Scanner, as well, and it still had problems?
I knew you were going to reply to this and meant to mention it. Tristyn tried to remove it already and it fried their drives.
It's NOT the issue in their problem.
If that's the case the issue isn't the A.I. scanner
Thanks, Tristyn. I believe you said you tried to disable the AI Scanner, as well, and it still had problems? Can you provide us with the status window output with the AI Scanner disabled on the Jungle Book backup? (Go into AnyDVD Settings, Video DVD, settings, at the bottom set the AI Scanner to disabled). I don't need the whole zip file for that, just post the contents of the AnyDVD status window. That'd be very helpful. Granted, I don't work for Slysoft so I can't fix this problem, but, I've got a pretty good idea of what's going on here and it's nothing on your system that's causing the problem. You said DareDevil has this problem, too? I have that one so I can do some of my own testing, as well. Thank you for posting this information. It'll help Slysoft fix this when they get a chance.
Edited for length by Tristyn
Yes, but how did he remove it? He needs to uninstall the program that installed it. And if that doesn't work he needs to remove the selected filter as opposed to simply deleting the driver off his system (which would account for the drive issue). The filter entry and the driver needs to go.
I'm not so sure. I just ran into a similar issue on a friend's system yesterday. Her system was full of packet writing software, and Anydvd was acting very oddly as a result. I removed the junk, and she is no longer getting A.I. errors.
I'm not entirely sure how they removed it, but, the drives disappeared when they did.

That should shed some more light on this issue.
Here is the status screen with AI disabled:
Summary for drive D: (AnyDVD 6.1.8.4)
PIONEER DVD-RWDVR-111L 8.29 06/08/10PIONEER
Drive (Hardware) Region: free
Media is a DVD.
Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 1
Total size: 2284032 sectors (4461 MBytes)
Video DVD (or CD) label: JUNGLE BOOK 1
Media is not CSS protected.

Media is region free.
RCE protection not found.
Found & removed bogus title set(s)!
UDF filesystem patched!
Autorun not found on Video DVD.
Found & removed 7 potential bad sector protections!
Emulating RPC-2 drive with region 1!
BTW, it still will not play unless AnyDVD is completely disabled. Changing the AI has no effect.
That is exteremely ungood. These are the only 2 discs having this problem? I might have to retract my statement to Webslinger in that it's *POSSIBLE* the Sonic stuff is causing you problems. How did you attempt to remove them before? That stuff SHOULD be removed...I do agree with him on that. His instructions might be a good thing to try if you haven't already.
Yeah, I suspect the driver was removed--but not the filter, which would account for the optical drive issue. The filter and the driver need to be removed.
[*]Edit and process with VOB Blanker
Eliminate this step please for testing purposes.
