AnyDVD versions 6.1.4.3 and two later betas (registered)
CloneDVD2 2.9.0.3 (registered)
DVDRW ND 2510A

Movie: Men with the Golden Gun - 007 special edition
Region 1 USA
Condition: brand new. no scratches. clean

I'm trying to backup the movie to my harddrive. The movie plays perfectly on a couple of standalone dvd players and also on the computer, as long as AnyDVD is disabled. With AnyDVD enabled, CloneDVD fails to preview past chapter 20, at which point it hangs. I have PowerDVD 5.0 which can play the movie past chapter 20 but the content scrambled/pixelated. Similar results with Nero Showtime. AnyDVD ripper can rip the stuff to harddrive but the VOBs containing chapter 21+ are all corrupted.
 
I don't know what was on that movie, but the only way I could get it backed up was with DVD Decrypter and Shrink and it still had a skip or two in it. There is something very odd with that movie and I hope the studios don't get wind of the difficulty of doing it.
 
It'd be useful if one of you posted the info in the status window of AnyDVD. You might also want to send the IFOs to Slysoft. Refer here for how if you don't know how to send them.
 
mastering errors, second layer uses different CSS key

This DVD has a mastering error, where the second layer uses a different CSS key. Try ripping it with DVD Decrypter and check "detect mastering errors" in Options -> CSS. MGM used to offer a replacement of this disc, but they may no longer honor that. Google "mastering error" and Man With The Golden Gun. Basically, the disc violates DVD specifications severely. DVD Decrypter should be able to fix it if you configure it properly. As far as I know, there is no harm in keeping "detect mastering errors" enabled all the time.

Was the CSS keys archive enabled? If so, disable it and try again.

I don't think it has anything to do with the CSS key archive bug. His problem is consistent with the mastering errors reported for this title. It begins in chapter 21. The problem is that the second layer uses a different CSS key. This breaks DVD specs and many players will have a pixellated mess for several seconds at the layer break. DVD Decrypter fixes this problem, if you set "detect mastering errors." You might have to disable AnyDVD, but that shouldn't cause a problem. This DVD is like 5-7 years old. MGM was offering a replacement if he can track down a customer service phone number and check.

Yeah but the discs are still being sold and apparently still have the same problem. I don't believe mine is that old (can't remember when i got it though).

I've read some reports that the "fixed" versions still have same problems. Maybe all the discs are defective. There were lots of problems with the old James Bond Special Editions. Try ripping with DVD Decrypter configured to "detect mastering errors." You might have to disable AnyDVD for it to work, because it might think the disc isn't encrypted and leave the second half scrambled.
 
Just got a James Bond Ultimate Edition. Volume 1 has 5 Bond films, one of which was Man With the Golden Gun. Had no problem making a backup of it, so the previous movie I had must have been one of those. AnyDVD, CloneDVD, 1Click, Shrink, etc will work with this edition.
