Is it all backups, or just the ones created with CloneDVD? Is it Windows that doesn't recognize the disks, a pc player, or other proggy? Any problems with original DVD's? Do the disks play on a standalone? List any steps you have taken to troubleshoot the problem.
It appears to be just the backups that I make with clonedvd. My computer is the only thing that doesn't recognize the discs. They play fine in a dvd player. No problems with the original discs. And I really haven't been able to determine the problem and try to troubleshoot it. I am at a loss. I was hoping that other had haved this problem too, but it appears I'm the only one. I just don't get it...
I am using HP DVD-R And autoplay is enabled. Bear in mind this is a very recent change. I have pulled out old dvd's that I have backed up, and they are fine in my computer. It's just the recent ones. anydvd won't even recognize them.
Same brand/type media, or is this problem coinsiding with a media change? If not, I would try disabling Auto Play, (choose take no action for DVD Video) and see if this helps. Additionally, make sure your drive has the latest firmware.
I appreciate your assistance. I have tried disabling autoplay, and I have the latest firmware for my drive. I just don't get it...:doh:
Won't play in PC? Make sure you have DVD Decoding Software! Like Power DVD, Nero Showtime, etc. If you do, you should try and use it to play the backups.:agree:
I think I may have figured out my problem. I think DVD-R is the problem..I'll get back to you.. Thanks everyone for trying to help. Please keep an eye here for my report..
Ok, strange, but I seem to have figured it out. It appears as though when I backup onto a DVD-R my computer will not recognize the disc and won't let me backup a backup copy. BUT...backing up onto a DVD+R works perfectly fine..I wonder why...Any ideas?
Is it one brand of DVD -R giving the symptoms, or all -R media? If the issue all along, has been trying to backup a backup, disabling AnyDVD may be your answer. You haven't given any particulars on your DVD drive. (ie: make, model, firmware..... Is your drive compatable with all formats, and were the disks in question actually created with your DVD drive with CloneDVD?)
