Multiple copies

[Jose' A. Pardo]

Since upgrading to 6.4.0.4 and clonedvd to 2.9.1.5 the first disc I burn will not play on any of my DVD players. The second one does play. It does not play if I do just one.

Last night I install the latest version of both product and the same happened.
I also put SP1 on my Vista ulimate.

I have not had any problems until the version mentioned above. I trying some older versions that I found in by backups. Anydvd 6.0.8.0 and Clonedvd 2.9.0.3. It worked witout any problems.

The DVD's that will not play on the players will play on the pc that was burned at.

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Thanks,

You should update both Anydvd and Clonedvd.

12. My backups play on my computer or standalone dvd player, but not in something else. Why?

First, if the backup is playing in a standalone dvd player or on your computer, that means Anydvd and whatever backup program you used worked.

The most common reason why you're having this problem (if the backup doesn't work in a standalone dvd player) is due to a compatibility issue between the blank media you're using and whatever you're using to play the backup in (standalone dvd player, for example). Basically your dvd player, dvd-rom drive, etc. doesn't like the blank media you're using (or if you're using +R media, you didn't change the booktype to "dvd-rom"). You can try choosing other blank media (+r instead of -r, for example, and change the booktype to "dvd-rom")--or buy a different standalone dvd player (or a different dvd-rom drive, burner, etc.).

If you're using dvd-r media and your standalone dvd player gives you a message similar to ""Play Prohibited, please check disc", use dvd+r media instead and change the booktype to "dvd-rom" (see "b)" below).

a) Are you using junk blank media? If you're not using Taiyo Yuden (not Valueline), Verbatim, Maxell Plus, or Maxell Broadcast Quality, then chances are the answer to this question is "yes". If you use +R DL blank media use Verbatim +R DL (made in Singapore) or MAM-A 8x +R DL only
b) Click this and read FULLY (especially take a look at point 4 for more information on bitsetting/booktyping, but all points are very important)

The same factors also apply to why the backup doesn't play in your computer (but there can be other factors including buggy or poorly installed dvd player software, bad drivers, etc.).

It's also possible the playback device/player you're using is slowly dying.
