I read the other thread here:
http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=6872
It was locked after three pages because Webslinger concluded there was nothing wrong with AnyDVD, plus there was some poster who seemed to want to argue that it was his right to discuss copying his rented DVD publically.
I bought this disc today from a local retailer.
I always want as close to accurate as a backup as possible, so I always do a "clone" type of backup... "Copy Disc" in Nero, or CloneCD, and use dual layer blanks when needed.
The Lookout Region 1 DVD failed at exactly 77% in both of these applications with AnyDVD 6.1.7.1 used as the on-the-fly decrypter. CloneCD reports that there are 14 unreadable sectors. I tried it on three different DVD drives and two different computers.
At first I thought it was simply a bad DVD, so I returned it to the retailer and told them it looks like a bad disc, and exchanged it for another one.
EXACT SAME PROBLEM, ***EXACT*** SAME UNREADABLE 14 SECTORS!
At this point I didn't own or use DVDFab, so I deceided to buy DVDFab Platinum to see if that had any problems. I installed DVDFab Platinum 3.1.8.0 and tried copying The Lookout using the "Clone" method, without AnyDVD running (with DVDFab's own decryption and protection removal coding).
It had ***no problems***.
This leads me to conclude that DVDFab has identified this DVD has having a type of protection that they then coded their application to remove. AnyDVD is therefore not handling this disc correctly.
Although some of this might have been posted before, here's all the data:
Nero Info Tool, "Disc" tab, without AnyDVD running:
AnyDVD Info Window:
Nero 7.10.1.0 CopyDVD error window when Ignore Read Errors **is NOT** selected:
