it freezes up when going to sound area any ideas?? thanks

What freezes exactly? What's a "sound area"?

[calin1]

in clonedvd audio and subtitle settings it freezes up at 62 % then stops totally

You mean the quality bar in Clondvd2 2.9.0.3 shows 62% in the "audio and subtitle setting" screen?

Clonedvd2 isn't supposed to start burning yet. You're supposed to click "next".

If you can't click next, I have no idea what the problem is.

What region is the disc in? Have you tried cleaning it?
Is the disc scratched?

I've never had Clonedvd just freeze on me.

No error message is shown?

Anyway, since this is probably a problem with Clonedvd (or the original disc) that you're having, I'll move the this thread to the Clonedvd forum.

i clicked next and i got it to the go button then it starts to do what it normally does but the a box pops up and says data error in vts_03_4.vob read error? ive looked at disc seems ok

Try copying it to the hard drive with Explorer and then use CloneDVD to burn the disk from there.
edit : When ever I do that I play the disk using PowerDVD before I burn it.
If the disk really has a problem of some sort it will show up then.

What region are you in?

Region 1 can be backed up fully using the latest versions of Anydvd and Clonedvd2. If you're outside of region 1, do step 8 from

I would try cleaning the disc. Otherwise, I would lean in the direction that there's a problem with the original disc.

Yeah, this isn't a protection issue. Everything can handle it, but I haven't seen information on this disc outside of region 1.

Definitely sounds like a problem with the original disc. A scratch or smudge or even a manufacturing defect that can't be seen. Return the disc and try a new. I backed it up without a problem. It's a great movie, by the way.

It has only CSS protection (Region 2 - Portugal)! I enabled AnyDVD only to see what kind of protection was on it. Then I disabled it and made a backup copy with DVD Shrink only!

Now imagine if all dvd industries could find a way to make all playable but defective discs which would prevent us to make backup copys! :doh: What could we do about it? That could start a new war!:agree:

Thank you for the info.

I don't know what's the deal in other countries, but in Portugal you aren't allowed to return dvds, unless they are not playable! And when you say the disc is not playable, the seller wants to make sure first if you are telling the truth before he exchanges it! So, what's the excuse when you return a playable dvd? You just say you can't make a copy of it or what?

Just say it skips or stops on your DVD player 2/3 the way thru. Some players are touchier than others.

Essentially the policy in every place I've purchased DVDs is the following...

(1) You [i]cannot return any opened DVDs for a cash or credit refund.
(2) You cannot return any opened DVD in exchange for a different DVD title.
(3) You may return an opened DVD for another DVD of the same exact movie title. IOW you are returning a disc that is in some form faulty.

These rules also apply to PC games and CDs, as well. The point being if you are replacing the original with the same exact thing then you aren't ripping anyone off.

That's how it works here.
