well, where do I start, not even sue I am in the right forum, but possibly the mods will move it if not!
For over 10 years I have purchased a couple of DVD`s a week, copied them for backup purposes, and put the original in my loft, have a lot up there now, lol.
I have always used "Clone DVD" and have seen various "owners" always used the registered owner option and paid for all updates as required, and have to say, it has done what I required!
HOWEVER, a few months ago I started getting disks that for some reason would not copy, so left the "Originals" in my ever expanding collection!
I always down loaded the latest release, and when it became "version 5" did the same, and that is where my problems began!!! I purchased "Clash Of the Titans" and tried to back it up, long story, but ended in half a cake tin of beer coasters, finally got it working, but for the money it had cost I could have actualy purchased a back up copy for my "Archive" (My wife works in a local Supermarket so even get a discount, lol)
This weekend gone, I purchased, "Shutter Island" and again tried to copy it, More bloody beer coasters! Have for days tried to contact their support, and finally got the reply that a NEW version was available, and I had to pay $35.oo to down load it! Oh well I thought, will be worth it in the long run, How wrong was I! Downloaded it, paid, still no joy, contacted support, and was given a link to yet another new download, did that, two more blanks, and nothing else.
So, out of desperation, (I am 55 yrs ols and a slow learner, lol) I decided to search the Internet, found an article that said there was "new copy protection" on this actual DVD, and that "DVDfab" would work! Eurika!!!
Downloaded it, tried it, more coasters, looked a bit closer, found an even newer version(only a day old) tried that, and one more light scribeable coaster later, have given up. Decided that for all the time, money and effort I have spent over the last few days, best thing I can do is line up all the beer coasters, drink beer untill they all have an empthy bottle on them, and wait for some kind person to tell me exactly where to go next! (if I die of alcahol Poisoning in the mean time it wont be any great loss the way I feel at the moment!)
