I've tried twice to copy this film and both times when I go to play the disc it won't play, the player keeps flashing "pause play pause play". Not till I advance it to chapter 2 does it play normally. Any ideas?
1 ) What burning software did you use to create the backup? What version number?
2) a)Click the red fox icon on your toolbar.
b) Navigate to "Program Settings".
c) Click "enable logging".
d) Click "ok".
e) Put the problematic disc in your optical drive/reader.
f) Go to your My Documents folder
g) You will see a zip file called "Anydvd_Info_titleofmydisc.zip"
h) When replying or posting in the Slysoft forums, look for the icon that looks like
i) if you don't see that icon, click the "go advanced" button. You should see that icon now. Click the paperclip.
j) a small pop-up screen should appear (if it doesn't please ensure your browser is enabled to allow pop-ups from the Slysoft forums)
k) click the "Browse" button, and locate and select the .zip file you created.
l) click "upload"
3) Does the backup play in your computer?
4) a)With Anydvd running in the background, play the original disc in your computer. Does the original disc exhibit the same playback problems?
b) With Anydvd disabled, play the original disc in your computer. Does the original disc exhibit the same playback problems?
5) 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:
