CLONE DVD PROBLEMS WITH SIMPSONS: THE FIRST SEASON

[darthbane2k]

I am trying to use Elby's Clone DVD to copy The Simpsons: The First Season boxset. It is my brothers boxset and I want to nab a copy so dont preach at me - I have several problems, the same occurs to each three discs.

I rip with DVD Decryptor to a folder, I fire up Clone DVD and click on CLONE DVD command - I dont want to split discs as the set is already 3 discs big so I want a kind of 1:1 copy of each on three seperate DVDS.

Anyway when I instruct clone to clone the DVD with menus intact, I get (as the finished burned result) only a 20th century fox still menu saying my player cannot play this region disc - my player is region free and plays the original flawlessly, I get the same screen on my PC DVD ROM too using media player. When I disable menues (uncheck keep menues intact) when I burn the disc it plays the episodes okay without menues but the quality is BAD! In scenes with movement I get fuzzy artifacts and I know that I wont get a pefect picture quality clone but thought I should at least get a decent copy. I have disabled unecssary languages and titles. Anyone on the forum copy these DVDs satisfactory? Also how can I copy and keep menus - I want to be able to see and select episodes.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hmm...

I personally used DVD2One to transcode.

Also, did you make sure you ripped all the files (not just the ones DVD Decyrpter selects for ya)

That's all I can think of...

AnyDVD Clone DVD and RCE protection. It appears at least in my System that AnyDVD does not remove RCE protection.
My dvd drive is a Compaq DVD-117.

Regardles of what encoding tool I use i get the "This Player is incompatible with the region marking on this disc"

The only way I get around this is to either use DVD Decrypter on the IFO's to remove RCE protection or IFO Region Free tool.

I have tried every Option in Anydvd and nothing works.

This happens when I do full DISC if I do only the main movie it works fine.

This is the exact same problem I have with AnyDVD and full movies.. see link
