Disk Not Formatted to Play

[DewMan]

Trying to make a back up copy of MASH season 5, The disk burns fine using shrink, and nero, but when I play the back up disk only 4 of the 8 epsisodes will play.
The other 4 give me an error message saying "Disk Not Formatted To Play In This Region".

The original disk plays all 8 episodes fine...Just not the back up.
Any Ideas?

I hate NERO for stuff like this try DVD Decrypter.
Good luck.

O.K., I tried Dvd Shrink, then used DVD Decrypter to burn it.....Same results
Is there something Im missing????
First time this has ever happend to me.

What Region are you in and do you have DVD Decrypter set to the right Region or is it set to no Region?

Thats 2 very good questions....Im in the USA, so I think that would be region 1, and where do find out what region Decrypter is set to???? Sorry never had this problem b4....New at this shrink and decrypter.
I normally use Clone Dvd with anydvd and have no problems

The geographical regions are as follows:

REGION 1 -- USA, Canada
REGION 2 -- Japan, Europe, South Africa, Middle East, Greenland
REGION 3 -- S.Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Parts of South East Asia
REGION 4 -- Australia, New Zealand, Latin America (including Mexico)
REGION 5 -- Eastern Europe, Russia, India, Africa
REGION 6 -- China
REGION 0 or REGION ALL -- Discs are uncoded and can be played Worldwide, however, PAL discs must be played in a PAL-compatible unit and NTSC discs must be played in an NTSC-compatible unit.

I took a guess when my first response didn't fix your problem. I don't know if DVD Decrypter takes out the region other then you can pick what region your in under General in Settings. But I do know DVD shrink takes it out but you can change that. Some players have a problem with no region setting.

In the DVD Region tab you can select a region code or make the disc region free:
For a complete guide try this. Good luck.
