ERROR processing disc, AnyDVD turned off! - Desperate Housewives - Sizzling Secrets..

[LREmery]

DVDs don't seem to be recognized at all. All software and drivers are latest versions. DVD light comes on for about 40 seconds, then turns off with AnyDVD status: ERROR processing disc, AnyDVD turned off!. One of my customers' drives could read these disks, but no drive on any of my 8 computers (12 DVD drives) could read them. (Had to return customer's system.) Won't play on any of our DVD players attached to TV's either. The box to the DVD set says they are region-1, but I changed the region to 6 on one of my drives anyway - to no avail. What could be wrong? I hope there's something simple I'm missing. What must I do to be able to read/play/backup these disks?? Thanks!

Sounds like a possible borderline bad DVD. It's possible the DVD drive on the system which read the DVD was simply a better DVD reader and was able to overcome the issues. Or it's possible there's something on your system causing a conflict of some sort.

Well, I've been copying DVDs flawlessly for many months with these drives and even now just copied 3 other disks - why are just the disks from this Desperate Housewives set (45 disks) not being seen? I've attached the logfile. Hope this has some clues which will help. Thanks.
