Short Circuit (1986) CSS protected

[datsc]

I just got the movie Short Circuit, circa 1986, and AnyDVD won't decode the CSS key. I know it's an old movie, but my wife wants it on DVD instead of the VHS tape we have.

thanks,

Dan

You'll need to post an AnyDVD log to be sure, but most CSS problems are due to your drive's region not being set. Make sure you EXIT AnyDVD before checking or setting the region. If it is set, an AnyDVD log is a necessity.

Region was set to 1; been using this writer for six months without a problem.

I have the logfile, but when I copied it into this, it's too large. How do I attach it?

simple

click the button "add reply", under "additional options" click "Manage Attachments" and upload the .ziplog file

Do NOT modify it's contents or copy/past the anydvd status window like a lot of ppl do. We need the entire ziplog file itself.

Appears to be a defective disc.

Interesting. I don't see the "Removed CSS Protection" line after AnyDVD scans the disk like it does on all the others.

Lots of read errors. Since it's not likely a new protection, it's likely a defective disc. Might try using another drive that may be more forgiving on a borderline disc.

That's because the disc (or drive) is so damaged, it doesn't get this far.

Thanks all,
I'll be getting a replacement disc tomorrow and will try again.
