slow ISO reads

[sodub]

when I tried to copy a DVD Clone CD took about two hours to read the ISO, then 15mins to burn it. I later tried to backup a game CD and after 20 minutes the ISo read was only on 1% so I cancelled it.

Is it normal to take this long? When I used Nero I could copy a DVD in 10 minutes. My Asus disc drive is new and works fine with Vista.

Help would be appreciated

Could you please provide some more information?

Such as:

- What DVD?
- What version of CloneCD are you using?
- Are you using AnyDVD as well? What version? Paste status window text here
- What game CD was it? Please use ProtectionID: http://pid.gamecopyworld.com/ and paste the log here
- What ASUS drive is it? What version of firmware?
- What edition and 32/64-bit version of Vista?

Once we know this information, it will be possible to take it from there...

DVD= The Holiday

Version of Clone CD= 5.3.0.1

I am not using anyDVD

Game= The sims 2 pets disc 1

Vista Premium 32 bit

Drive= ASUS DRW-1608P3S, the driver is version 6.0.6000.16386,

I know the drive works, as I can burn through windows media player.

I downloaded the program and scanned every exe and dll I could find in the Game disc, this is what it came up with

So you are trying to make a copy of a DVD without using software that would remove copy-protection from the DVD? In that case, I'm not surprised that it is not working...try installing AnyDVD and see what you get...

It is obvious that Safedisc 4.6 is present, but I have doubts if it is covered by CloneCD. Most likely not, so you'd need Game Jackal to emulate the protection

I will try anyDVD thanks for the help

anydvd is only for movies if i remember correctly. those are game copy protections, which is what gamejackal is designed to deal with.

CloneCD will allow you to make a copy of a game. GameJackal simply allows you to play the game from your HDD.

[Zeratul]

yes, and clonecd allows you to make working copies of some copy protected games, depending on the specific copy protection right?

CloneCD is the perfect tool to make backup copies of your music and data CDs, regardless of copy protection. CloneCD's award-winning user interface allows you to copy almost any CD in just a few mouse clicks.

It should work on any game.
