Trying to backup the first DVD of the two set Complete Ripping Yarns
Using 2 DVD Drives
Any DVD
Clone DVD
First DVD Drive is an LG – details as follows
Bus Type ATAPI
VID HL-DT-ST
PID DVDRAM GSA-H12N
F/W Revision UL01
Date Code
Region 4
Vendor Resets Available 4
User Resets Available 4
RPC Scheme RPC II
Second DVD Drive is also an earlier model LG – details as follows
Bus Type ATAPI
VID HL-DT-ST
PID DVDRAM GSA-4082B
F/W Revision A209
Date Code
Region 4
Vendor Resets Available 4
User Resets Available 3
RPC Scheme RPC II
I get the following messages and cannot backup the first DVD.
The second in the set is no problem at all and backups very quickly.
As suggested in the message I have thoroughly cleaned the disk, inspected it minutely for scratches or defects and find none. It will play OK as a movie on my computer and on any other single DVD player.
The DVD region is compatible to the disk.
The RPC2 drives are both assigned region 4
I live in Australia that allows backup of Region 4 DVDs
Yet I cannot backup. Any help?
AnyDVD 6.1.2.5
Failed to read DVD!
This could have several reasons:
1. DVD media is dirty, you can try to clean it
2. DVD media is damaged, yoou have to replace it
3. Your drive is a region locked RPC2 drive, which does not allow reading of scrambled sectors from a different region and you try to read a DVD from a different region. Known drives having this problem are RICO/Philips DVD writers and Matshita/Panasonic DVD readers and writers. You can try to find a RPC1 patched firmware at http://www.rpc1.com
4. Your drive is an RPC2 drive that has not been assigned a region. Try to assign one, or try to find a RPC1 patched firmware at http://www.rpc1.com
The message from AnyDVD shows that my drive is region 4
That the media (Ripping Yarns) is CSS protected, Standard PAL and that the media is licked to region 4
Clone DVD2 shows the message
Clone DVD2 is not for use in copying protected DVDs\\Many DVDs are Content Scrambling System (CSS) encoded, which is a copy protection file system. If a DVD is CSS-encoded then the DVD reader will refuse to access the disk. Therefore CloneDVD2 cannot read the files and make a copy.
If it is permitted to create backups in the country you live in, you mak use CSS decoding tools available on the internet. You can check the legal situation in your country at http://www.euro-copyrights.com
