This particular disc was a Memorex DVD+DL
Any thoughts about the latest version of AnyDVD I just got emailed about? Maybe this newest version will help out on avoiding this situation in the future?
Webslinger...may I ask why you use CloneCD instead of CloneDVD2?(I just paid $39.00 for CloneDVD2) Why would Slysoft name the preferred DVD ripping program CD instead of DVD? Sorry if you've whent over this 1000times...point me to a link?
Thanks
What else would you expect if you're trying to backup scratched discs?
You can try to clean or repair them, but if the source disc is bad, it's bad even if it plays fine. Some drives are better than others at reading scratched discs.
You should probably do the following anyway (not that I think it will help much)
1. Update Anydvd (you're not using the latest version)
2. Update your burner's firmware (if available)

3. Do steps 3 and 4 from here (note that step 4 requires you to actually post information; do not start deleting filters randomly)
The Benq I replaced read EVERYTHING...it just had a "little stutter" during playback from time-to-time
I Listed the filters a few posts back, do you suspect they cahanged?
I guess my question is this: Should I uninstall AnyDVD and try re-installing it?
or Should I take this POS drive back to Best Buy and get the SATA drive?

Web....I had to ask about this....you're confusing me now, have you ever ran into a situation were the source disc played fine, but you could not copy it?
I probably should have mentioned . . .
Your burner should be installed as master (check the jumper on the back on the drive and check what end of the cable you attached to the burner).

I'm curious though, you said you didn't use your Plextor as the Burning drive...just to read?
Why do that?
With my setup, I only have one spot for optical drive, so it needs to be able to do both well.:doh:
AThe other had a pretty major gouge in it so I really don't know as anything would have read it?
Thank you again Web!
Clicking "Settings" on the red fox gives me the following:

One other thing I didn't see mentioned, apparently your new drive was not set to a region code. Sometimes it doesn't make a difference, sometimes it does.
