I've been recording with AnyDVD and CloneDVD for quite some time now. Always stuck with this software, and never had any problems at all with it. Until very recently. I have installed Vista Business, but that was in October when the OEM Corporate version came out. I've been using it ever since with CloneDVD and no problems.
Just recently, I wanted to clean my hard drives out a little and I had some ripped DVD's on it. A couple of movies and some episodes of Rome. I also only use DL DVD's. FujiFilm DVD+R DL most of the time. Ok, here is where it gets weird. I have two DVD burners. Both are Dual-Layer and have been flawless. I really never remember ever making a coaster before.
One is a Plextor PX716A, and the other one is a BENQ generic model. 2x16x4x16. Both I've had for probably over a year with no problems.
For some reason I cannot burn a DVD to either one of them using CloneDVD. I have the movie SILENT HILL and STEP UP on my hard drive. I've tried both burners and both made coasters. I'll check the writing out and it's very odd. My Plextor starts spinning like it's going to take off like a plane, but CloneDVD just sits there, running normally but doesn't budge. I can leave it there all day and it will never progress the burn and never bomb out until I forcefully kill it. Now, my BenQ drive doesn't spin like a race horse, but just eventually the CloneDVD will do the same thing and the drive will stop writing. This has happened with multiple movies, multiple drives and of course multiple DVD's. The only thing left is the program. It's difficult to keep testing because I'm burning away money by making DL coasters all the time.
Anyone have any suggestions before I waste $100 on DL coasters to test this stuff out?
Thanks!
P.S. It's a regular generic computer.
