A Good Year

I have AnyDVD and Shrink but could not get shrink to to open this DVD.
I downloaded the trial of CloneDvD to use with AnyDvD and still could not backup this DVD until I selected the movie only then had to sit for 20 minutes and keep clicking retry because of error messages before CloneDVD could handle it. Is this because I had the trial copy of DVDClone?

 

More than likely a bad original disc.

However, please do step 8 and 9 for me:

NOTE:

region code to match the region of this disc.

(I have backup many discs and never had to change the region code?)
Should I be messing with it?

 

Yes, you should :agree:

Oddly when I checked the drive was set to Region: 1

 

You need to disable Anydvd when setting the region code of your drive.
By the way, a few people here had no problems:
