Said material is impossible to obtain via retail means either on VHS or DVD. It was an old TV broadcast recorded live to VHS and then converted to DVD. NOTE: For the sake of clarify the disc I was copying was a DVD-R authored using third-party software. While CloneDVD did inform me of corruption and possible mastering issues the copy completed and playback works.Īnyway, I just wanted to post this because in my case CloneCD was a lifesaver in rescuing an irreplaceable piece of my media collection. Just to test things I then mounted the resulting image and copied that with CloneDVD. Not once did a read error message pop up. It powered through the copy until it reached the problematic area and slowed to an absolute crawl but it kept chugging away and after quite some time it completed successfully. Then as a last resort and a longshot I decided to give CloneCD a try to create an image so I could salvage the disc. Even RipIt4Me failed! Yeah, I dug deep through my old tools. A competitor's product with their new special sauce for dealing with read errors failed. Using AnyDVD alone to copy the disc to the HDD failed with a read error.
How was I going to copy this disc successfully? The disc was a burned DVD-R of an old TV broadcast and had no protection of any kind but did, unfortunately, have an obvious visible flaw. Just recently, however, I ran into issues making a backup of a disc that I really needed to preserve and nothing I tried was working. I seldom have need for CloneCD these days given what I am usually doing and my workflow simply have no need for its use. It's great that reading support is there but no burning. I do wish, however, that Blu-ray support for burning were added. Nonetheless, we seldom see updates because none are really needed. Sadly, the CloneCD forum doesn't get much traffic but that could also be considered a good thing.
