Thanks for the input, I use DVD Region Free in conjunction with CloneDVD2 and that gets me passed any bumps in the road. The disk was just damaged. I took it back and got a new one, and was able to backup with no issues.
What really was insane about this disk was, side A was the directors cut and side B was the Theatrical verion. The Directors cut was choking at 67% and the Theatrical version was choking at 93%.
Talk about bad luck..HA.
I make a conscious effort to backup all my DVD's as my wife and daughter I swear use these things as frisbee's when I am not around!!
Hey, forgot to ask this, since I have you guys on the horn.... What I like about CloneDVD2 is it's simplistic interface. I only have three buttons to choose from..HA. But, one thing that I don't like about it is if I try to backup a very long movie it basically is just compressing it into one DVD. Now, I have given thought to purchasing a DL DVD Drive so I can backup lengthier DVD's, but opposed to this, what other options do I have. I do not mind having to switch over to a second disk as I have a SONY 400 Disk DVD Changer and I don't even have to get up to do it.
I am more concerned about quality. When longer movies are compressed with CloneDVD2 the quality is compromised.
Later all!
