DL DVD.iso problem..................

[Waldmas]

Hi
I'm really confused.
I used to make the backup copies of my DVDs for the convenience and "just-in-case" purposes. Ultraiso always worked great, and I used Clon Drive to mount these *.iso's. Great untill now...
Yesterday I made a copy of 3 DL DVDs (~7.5 Gb each). Everything went as usual, except, of cause it took more time. Other than that- no problems at all. But when I tryed to watch these newly made ISOs....the WinDVD 8 (and than all other soft-players) didn't play it...Well, "I saw something"- terrible pixelization, lots of "green" color, pieces of sound track..I can't even get a Menue...Then- just nothing. One more thing. I made DL ISOs before with the same soft and never experienced anything like this.

I tryed different iso-maker and clone drive (steped down to MagicIso and it's Magic Disk), reinstalled codecs, tryed Power DVD....After that I was able to play one DL ISO ONCE. On the second try- old story: pixelization, "green"...stop.

Any idea what's going on? What I'm missing here?? Any help will be heartfully appreciated.

Thanx.

What proggies are you using to backup? what media type? and try IMGBurn to build iso and burn to DL disk..IMO!

Thanx for your advice.
I use UltraIso to make *DVD.iso file and then just store them on my external (500+500) HDs. So I play them from HD and NOT burn them to DVDs..I burnt a couple of isos before using Nero Ultra and Ultraiso itself. Never had a single problen whatsoever...


PS: I made an iso with IMGBurn...Same story- iso wont play..

Sounds like copy protection kicking in, try DVDFab Decrypter to rip to ISO.

Heh..Exactly.
I thought about this one myself from the very begining, but..refused to believe, since it was the most obvious thing to suspect I used DVDFab, as you mentioned- worked perfectly. I just wonder- how come I didn't experience this problem before? More than 60 DVDs backed up (with UltraIso) and only now...copy protection flashed its' face?? Hmmm...

PS: Thanx again
