Had another go last night.
DVD's will play on the computer but only if I boot the DVD up from Windows Explorer.
When I put Disc 1 in the stand alone DVD player I get a disc error after the DVDXCOPY disclaimer.
And Disc 2 starts but then the screen freezes.
I hear what you say about the DVD player but there is no problems with the other backups I've made ( MAD MAX II & THE ROCK).
Both the stand alone and the computer DVD's are Philips ( by chance nothing planned ).
It's got me beat.
There appears to be no logic to it.
anybody with any thoughts
regards & Thanks
