Ok, I'll see what happens and thnx again for your time. Your answers were succinct and easy to understand. I like that.

Ok, thnx again for the info. I'll look up the ones you suggested. I guess the other question I would have is that the ISO file is ok. Though this is not a DCloner forum. If i download an ISO player and the file works then it is the CMCs.

This is a new stack of the CMC,s so I'll burn through them to see if anything takes.When I get home I'll look at the wrapper to see if the manf. is listed. Thanx for the advice on a different disc type. Is there a longevity issue with the CMCs? I mean these are movies. I really don't plan on watching them but once a year or so.

Hi, I'm new here. I use DVD Cloner 2015..I'm getting 2017 today. So... I save the DVD copy as an ISO to my hard drive, Then use I,B, to write the files to a disc. I also use verify. Some times it works and the disc is readable/playable and sometimes not..I'm not sure how to post the image of the log file so please excuse the notepad version: //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 - Log ; Thursday, 23 March 2017, 08:53:26 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 08:28:32 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

Sometimes the ISO copies/writes perfectly and sometimes not. This particular disc,after burn, shows the title but does not play in any of the three vid players: Media Center,Media Player and the Classic one.The play button just causes the "wait" circle to spin,and spin and spin.... I use an external DVD player,(Drive 2 ). The one in the laptop does not work.These are old units also, I realize that but they are all I have. Anyone have any ideas what is up? At .25 cents per disc I'm not too worried about a few fails but this is the about the 5th time for that ISO file, I have deleted the ISO and rerun DCloner three times and no joy. I use the expert interface and 9->5 sizing, full movie copy (subtitles/dubbed). Any thoughts are welcome.
