Just tried to back-up a DVD and received the "This DVD is copy-protected" error popup stating that the disc was protected with CSS. I never encountered this before. I am running AnyDVD 6.1.7.0 in the background and CloneDVD2 2.1.9.2. This shouldn't be a new protection, as the DVD came out in 2004.
I just added 2 new burners to my computer as my others wore out: Sony DVD RW DRU-830-A and Lite-On DVD RW LH-20A1H. I don't see this as connected to the problem, but since I added new hardware do I need to uninstall and reinstall AnyDVD and CloneDVD2?
I tried to use the CSS Key Archive in AnyDVD but didn't really know what I was doing since I've never had to try it before.
Anyhow, the Status window in AnyDVD looks like this:
Summary for drive D: (AnyDVD 6.1.7.0)
SONY DVD RW DRU-830A SS25 FEB01 ,2007
Drive (Hardware) Region: 1
Media is a DVD.
Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 2 (opposite)
Size of first Layer: 2070208 sectors (4043 MBytes)
Total size: 4119328 sectors (8045 MBytes)
Video DVD (or CD) label: CONTRACT STAR
Media is CSS protected!
Video Standard: NTSC
Media is locked to region(s): 1 2 3 4 5 6 8!
Finally - and this may be the answer - the DVD is an HD DVD. I thought I'd backed one of these up before, but I now think I'm mistaken. Is this the reason I can not back up my DVD?
Sorry if I'm wasting anyone's time.
