WD TV Live Streaming will no play Clone CD ISO files

[strat95]

I am experiencing problems playing ISO files created with Slysoft's Clone CD. Clone CD is able to rip a DVD in ISO format for both single and dual layer DVDs and for dual layer DVDs it records the layer break. Attempting to play thse rips with the WD TV Live Streaming results most often with a blank screen that then leads to the unit restarting. With some rips you can watch the previews but it is impossible to get to the menu screen. Similarly in some cases the ISO image will play some bonus material but again it is impossible to get to the menu screen. Has anyone had a similar experience? What may be causing this problem? All ISO rips play properly on any computer I have tried. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks TV

You may reset  the SMP, by holding its reset button for 1 second.  If the issue persists you can try using another software to rip your DVDs, in order to compare results.

Thank you for the response Vadir.  I have tried the reset and found the results not to change.  I have found that also that once some ISO files may play the previews, exiting the playback and reselecting to play will often not show the previews either.

Currently I have hundreds of ISO files in both single and dual layer created with Clone CD.  I wonder if there is a solution for playback of these files as they are, instead of re-ripping or transcoding the entire library.

Does anyone else have any suggestions or does Western Digital do any testing on specific file types for compatibility?

Thank you,

I have tried the usb ports.  Still no luck with Clone CD ISO files.

Any other suggestions?

Just wondering if anyone could try creating a CloneCD ISO image via a trial licence to see if this problem can be duplicated??

Have you tried another software like DVDFab to rip a test DVD? It might show if the problem is is with Clone CD or the SMP.

I havent used CloneCD but I do use SlySoft's AnyDVD and the ISO files it creates work fine for me.

Same here with DVD Shrink ISOs.

Thanks for the ideas guys.  I will try creating ISO files with other software to see if this problem persists.  I will report back my findings.  My only concern is I have hundreds of ISO files made with CloneCD and re-ripping would be a real pain.
