All protections not being removed?

You are incorrect, it is very common for a backed up DVD to still show that it has protections. The backup is totally fine. If you want to believe it isn't, well, that's up to you, but you're wrong.

Not sure exactly what some people are trying to troubleshoot in this thread.

Aside from his "thought error".... his region code might have been unset.

And there's the fact that some stuctural protections really do "pass through" AnyDVD - unless you use the "rip to folder" tool. But they are of no consequence.

This isn't all that uncommon when you use something other than CloneDVD2. Just because it shows it there doesn't mean it is there either. As long as you made a backup and it works without problems then all is well. This thread really has gone far enough. I had/have this problem before using third party apps to compress/burn as well so I already know. Take this post for what it is worth and move on for better health.

OK - Now I'm confused?? (thanks Charlie)
I didn't think it was at all about CloneDVd vs 3rd party stuff.

The way I knew it, keeping 3rd party stuff out of the mess.... and correct me if I'm wrong?

AnyDVD rip to image = structural pass through
AnyDVD rip to folder = no structural pass-through
AnyDVD/CloneCD = structural pass-through
AnyDVD/CloneDVD = no structural pass-through

In other words if you do a true 1:1 copy you get a little (non-consequential) structural protection pass-through. But if you use a re-authoring tool, like CloneDVD or AnyDVD rip to folder, then you don't get that. Isn't it just that simple??

Well yes and no to be honest. I haven't ripped using anydvd then import the rip in any third party. I have used AnyDVD along with DVD neXt COPY and had the backup read out like mentioned here. Never have seen this using CloneDVD2 along with AnyDVD though.

I had seen it before even using CloneDVd2, but as James said it is cosmetic.. You can check with Twight or Twilght 2 if you have it.

How do you get the beta version?
