Whatever it takes...

Okay, I copied the IFO files to my hard disk w/o any problems and will send them to support. So why can't software be made smart enough to emulate exactly what a regular player is able to do, namely be more forgiving in encountering CRC errors?

Basically I'm at square two. I know that even a second original copy of a DVD cannot be copied or viewed on a PC but on a regular player. This is whether using AnyDVD or not.

This is what I did on the 2nd PC. I didn't say that AnyDVD IS the problem, but I said it does NOT solve it. Of course, I don't expect any software to magically repair a DVD that is not readable at all. But here is a case of a DVD that perfectly fulfills its purpose of being playable on a...

This is what I did and VSO Inpector did report read errors. See what I wrote above.

I think you are not not exactly understanding what I'm saying: - The DVD fails on two different PCs (one desktop and one laptop) with totally different hardware (both are from Dell though). If the DVD plays perfectly in a stand-alone player, but not on a PC, this is exactly what the DVD...

Today I got a new original copy of the culprit DVD, and guess what: the same problem, CRC errors! Here are the facts: 1) The DVD has visible, slight scratches, but could go for “normal wear and tear”. 2) The DVD plays without any problems in a stand-alone DVD player. 3) PowerDVD on my...

I admit this thread is long, but if you had read my initial post you would have known that I haven't got to the writing step yet. This issue is about READING an ORIGINAL movie DVD.

Guys, my initial post was indeed meant somewhat to be a bait to see how much you defend your favorite product. The verve with which you've done that is indicative to the cause of the problem being somewhere at my side. Most probably it has been the DVD disk, but that I will see when I get the...

Changing the DVD and the SW release at the same time wouldn't prove where the problem was if the new DVD is read fine. I'll first change the DVD "parameter", then the software "parameter". I want to get to the bottom of this to know whether my previous problems were really caused by faults on...

I've returned the culprit DVD today and have ordered a new original copy. I won't upgrade to AnyDVD 6.1.1.4 before I tested the new DVD with the current version to avoid mixing up the test conditions.:)

I only hope that you'll never be called for jury service, because this is not at all sufficient prove that AnyDVD is NOT the problem. :disagree: More substantial evidence would be to test the case with a different original copy of the same DVD title. That's exactly what I'm going to do this...

Yes, it helped getting rid of the error message when installing/updating the software. But it didn't solve my DVD problem.

I don't favor the crossflash idea, because the drive works fine for everything else, and I don't want to screw it up. At least, I'm going to dig into this problem with another original copy of the DVD to see whether this gives the same problem.

ttocsmij, thank you. I will try to get another original copy of the same disk to check whether I get the same error at the same spot. BTW, why can't a copy program just optionally skip the spot with CRC errors? They obviously don't do any visible harm when playing the DVD, so if the copier...

I happen to be "one of our Deutsch friends" myself and googled for NEU_SCN. One guy can't read a DVD that's reported with a disk ID of NEU_SCN. But the other 3 hits just list the data of 3 DVDs with NEU_SCN as being the regular ID of side A. BTW, NEU_SCN just means NEW_SCN, but SCN must be some...

mmdavis, thank you, I went to the Microsoft site and followed the instructions.

Just downloaded and installed Clone DVD. When trying to copy the problematic DVD, Clone DVD also reports a CRC error at the very same location. Of course, I would also deduce immediately that the DVD is faulty, but again it plays perfectly well at this spot also. There was one odd thing...

James, I just tried again using Safe Mode and Logging: same results, Shrink DVD reports a CRC error. AnyDVD reports this about the disk: Summary for drive D: (AnyDVD 6.1.1.3) PHILIPS DVD+-RW DVD8701 5D24 MY0M97537015957L081F Drive (Hardware) Region: 2 Media is a Data DVD. Booktype...

Thank you all for your comments. Well, I was suspecting that something is wrong with my environment because there is so much praise about AnyDVD. But I wanted to stir up an uproar to see whether my suspicion was correct. The issue is, though, that I usually don't have any problems ripping...
