Can't get "National Treasures" to play ...

[tunafish]

I have upgraded to the latest anydvd and Im running Powerdvd to play, dont think it is the latest but plays everything else fine. I did do my backups with a little bit older version (not sure If I would need to do them again) but currently cant play my orginal disks or my backups. Plays all the advertising junk then just stops. Do I have a anydvd issue or powerdvd issue.
Thanks for any help.

Who knows? How about posting an AnyDVD_Info file?

Does it play with AnyDVD disabled? That would answer your question as to which one it is. I don't get my discs til tomorrow so I can't check this one. Also, I would definitely upgrade to the latest PowerDVD version unless you have a really good reason not to.

Plays from disc and from ripped backup copy from hard drive using AnyDVDHD 6.4.2.6 and PDVD 3104.a. Disc also worked with 6.4.2.5 also. No problems at all.

Perhaps the OP means National Treasure 2 (wrote an s instead of a 2). I'm having problems with mine (NT2), both disc and remuxing (true-hd audio downmix not working in PDVD) using latest LG OEM version available (3730a).

The disc (and iso) won't play past the menu with AnyDvd 6.4.2.3 (hangs on a screen saying "it might take 2-3 minutes to load content, depending on your firmware"). I had to tell AnyDvd that the region was A. Just updated to 6.4.2.6 beta (didn't ask for region this time) and will try again (already did a CloneCD rip with AnyDvd 6.4.2.3 turned off once it had "scanned" the drive). Building ISO from TSMuxer output at the moment, will post results later.

This is the logfile from 6.4.2.6 beta - didn't do one for 6.4.2.3 beta - don't freak over the 744 second creation time - I was TSMuxing the ISO and it locked the drive until it finished (and my system - I won't do that again!!).

If this doesn't work I'll start over with a fresh CloneCD rip after scanning with 6.4.2.6 first (then disabling) - although that should not make a difference, I think. I will also try it later on my other partition with PDVD8 (which I use as little as possible because 3730a plays my hd-dvd's without "fixes" needed).

UPDATE: The mounted TSMuxer-based ISO (without AnyDvd running) still has no AC3 downmix sound, video plays fine. Obviously not an AnyDvd problem. I guess I'll try it with the True-HD retained and see if that works.
FINAL UPDATE: TSMuxer-based ISO (AnyDvd 6.4.2.6 running for creation) with True-HD audio retained (no downmix) works fine without AnyDvd running in PDVD 3730a so definitely not an AnyDvd problem.

Good to see Im not the only one, I play the disk fine but gets stuck on playing ISO on blue fbi screen so I just play the disk for now. Off for the holiday weekend hope everyone has a good one.

I got mine yesterday so I'll start playing with this disc in a minute to see if I can get it working with an ISO. Tuna, is your ISO protected still or did you let AnyDVD remove the protection?

I wanted to point out, I can play this movie but none of the trailors are removed. This is the copy of my status:

Summary for drive I: (AnyDVD 6.4.2.6)
AB1452G EHY131E 1.01
Drive (Hardware) Region: 1

Media is a DVD.
Booktype: dvd-rom (version 1), Layers: 1
Total size: 23500864 sectors (45900 MBytes)
Video Blu-ray label: NATIONAL_TREASURE_2
Media is not AACS protected.
Can't determine region code!
Blu-ray disc Region set to A!
MFR: File 00001.jar is too big! Sectors available: 120, Sectors required: 121
Possible Blu-ray Java region lock removed!
Blu-ray Java signatures fixed!


Thought I would share that for James/Peer.

Interesting. Why don't you post the logfile?
