AnyDVD 6.1.3.3 & 6.1.2.5 appear to go into a loop & are unable to read "Stranger than Fiction" when it is in my LG GSA-4081B (A106) drive, however, everything works fine in my LG GSA-H22N drive. Any ideas why? The following summaries are form my two drives: Summary for drive E: (AnyDVD 6.1.3.3) HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B A106 020519041A3C493644 Drive (Hardware) Region: 1 Media is a DVD. Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 2 (opposite) Size of first Layer: 2084960 sectors (4072 MBytes) Total size: 4169920 sectors (8144 MBytes) Summary for drive N: (AnyDVD 6.1.3.3) HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H22N 1.01 06/09/21 Drive (Hardware) Region: 1 Media is a DVD. Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 2 (opposite) Size of first Layer: 2084960 sectors (4072 MBytes) Total size: 4169920 sectors (8144 MBytes) Video DVD (or CD) label: Stranger Than Fiction Media is CSS protected! Video Standard: NTSC Media is locked to region(s): 1! RCE protection not found. DVD structure appears to be correct. Found & removed structural copy protection (Arccos, Puppetlock)! Found & removed bogus title set! Changed firstplay: Jump directly to TitleMenu! Found & removed Autorun from Video DVD! Found & removed 83 bad sector protections! Emulating RPC-2 drive with region 1!
I would just chalk it up to Sony releasing junk that doesn't follow standards. Some of the newer Sony releases won't even play on Sony standalone dvd players, it seems: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.php?p=1714873&postcount=30 and http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.php?p=1714881&postcount=31 and http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.php?p=1722681&postcount=33 Makes troubleshooting very difficult in general.
