Charlie,
Sorry, I think that everyone is missing the point here - the problem seems to be specific to CloneDVD Mobile running under Vista 32-bit on a laptop.
And I've already detailed the error by referencing
this posting in another thread.
The key things that Yakuza965's posting says are:
* The disc works fine in my XP machine [Bob adds - the same is true here and it also works fine under Vista on a desktop PC].
* I've tried a few other movie discs in this Vista Home Premium machine and they worked fine [Bob adds - initially, I was able to convert a couple of DVDs but right now, I seem to be getting the error on all DVDs].
* The error window I get immediately I attempt to open the Video_TS folder from one of the discs that I have issues with is this [Bob adds - this is referencing an image that is included in that posting]
* As you can see from the image, CloneDVD mobile has not loaded the disc - this error comes up immediately the enter key is pressed after entering the Video_TS folder location [Bob adds - same here].
Anyway, here's my attempt at answering the questions - some of which are not answerable given that the error happens at the stage where I select a Video_TS folder.
Q. What AnyDVD version do you run?
A.
All PCs concerned - three in total - are running V.1.1.6.0
Q. What movie title do you try to transcode?
A. Too many to mention - and, the fact is that now, the laptop running Vista seems to have this problem with all discs. The only disc that has given problems on the other PCs is SOPRANOS_SEASON6_FINAL_DISC3 and this has a quite different problem that I'll detail in a different thread.
Q. What exact CloneDVD mobile profile did your choose? What resolution? What quality settings?
A. In every case, on every PC, the profile is Archos AV/PMA/Gmini (400/500/700). Resolution is NOT set on the problem PC because this option is only available once a DVD has been 'accepted' - the error is displayed before this stage - likewise quality settings - but, nonetheless, the resolution setting that has been used on all three PCs is 480x360 and the quality setting is 17 (though, as I said, I don't get to that stage currently on the laptop because it barfs out with an error immediately I attempt to open a Video_TS folder)
Q. What exact title did you choose to be copied?
A. Sorry, I don't understand the question
Q. What exact sound track did you choose to be copied?
A. I don't get to this option because the error happens immediately I attempt to open a Video_TS folder
Q. What exact error message(s) do you receive and when does it (do they) appear?
A. Precisely as detailed in
this posting in another thread.
To re-iterate. The problem seems to be specific to a laptop running Vista 32-bit and seems to be unrelated to the DVD itself since other PCs running the same version of CloneDVD Mobile (one XP, one Vista) do not have the problem with the same discs.
And, of course, this is why the title of this thread is so very specific. The subject line reads, 'Problems with Vista on laptops - any resolution?' because I am having the same problem that two others using Vista laptops have had.
Thanks in anticipation for any suggestions of steps I might carry out to try to come up with a solution.
Cheers
Bob
Hi BobCrabtree, please make note to the questions asked by Chris Gonzales and answer them accordingly instead of referencing another post, if I have the title I'll do the same thing you just tried as well.
