The Hoax R1 and Havoc 2 R1 cannot be backed up with the latest AnyDVD 6.1.8.4. 6.1.7.4 works fine, tried on three computers all the same.
Third post now on Havoc 2, and at third on The Hoax (counting Slysoft 1's post... he misspelled the topic as "The Host").
I told the guy on CDFreaks to come here and post the log files (answer questions 8, 9, and 10), but their admin told him not to.

DrinkLyeAndDie's info window doesn't match the one Slysoft 1 posted ("sabine's" over at CDFreaks).
Differences are in bold:

Now that is definitely odd. The version I have was bought at a local store when it was released.
What setting was the A.I. Scanner set to. This can have an impact on what shows up in the status window. I have mine set to the the default setting (very fast).
I just replied in the CDF post that they need to run Nero CD/DVD speed and check the disc for errors. I'm guessing there are bad discs floating out there but we need to know for sure.
One thing I will note is that the speed at which this disc is read can fluctuate greatly. The beginning was up and down and the middle third of the disc seemed pretty slow but then it shot up to 13x at about 70% and then gradually slowed back to the 6x area from 90% on.
My disc is 100%.
James should code a button into AnyDVD that automatically posts the info window and zip file to the forum or something. Then at least we could ask users to just push a button, although even getting people to do that will probably still be like pulling teeth. And it won't post the error message from whatever program the user was using to back up the disc.
I used to work in support, and I still can't get over how many people think saying, "It don't work" is enough to get a problem solved.
Anyone have information window for Havoc 2?
I believe the same people that put out Full of it and the Blade House of Chthon all put out by New Line Home Video. I would think this is the Protect DVD protection which AnyDvd should be able to handle. I would also like to note I was able to back up Hoax R1 no problems with AnyDvd 6.1.8.4 and Dvd Shrink.

Havoc 2 is a New Line release and as such has X-Protect copy protection meaning the UDF file system is a mess. And, yes, AnyDVD 6.1.8.4 can handle the movie when the AnyDVD ripper is used or CloneDVD. It's possible this movie will have the same problems that Blade - House of Chthon has with DVD Shrink where it appears to back up fine but when you play the backup you'll find stuttering. Nero Recode likely won't be able to even import the movie at all.
In this case, use Anydvd ripper and then import that rip using Shrink or Recode.
Okay, well, thanks to Drinklyeanddie, we know that Anydvd 6.1.8.4 handles both of these discs perfectly fine. Moving on . . .
