Alcohol 120 not displaying options

[FoghornX]

I've never tried to backup a PS2 game before, mostly using alcohol to make some video DVD backups and it works fine.

Today though when trying to backup a PS2 game dvd with Alcohol I noticed that the menu in the "Image Wizard" window, that allows you to choose the type of protection used\type of media copied, is not there anymore. Alcohol displays the window only when I select one of the virtual drives as the source drive, but not when I select my Pioneer DVD burner as the source drive (It deffinately used to display that window in the past).

When the DVD burner is selected as the source with a PS2 disk inside, the only options displayed are "Data Position Management" and "Skip Read Errors". The Alcohol version is 1.9.5 (build 4212).

Any ideas?

Alcohol cannot backup any protection on DVDs.
That is why the option to select protection is not available.
