Is PowerDVD playing any of your DVDs? or is it just your backed up copy of Constantine that is having trouble? And can you play other backed up movies?

Could just be a bad back up of Constantine, but with a little more info, we will be able to help you out a little more.

Well i figured out its just not working on my pc, or laptop. But works in my dvd player.

And i cant back-up my Lord of the rings cd's because dvd x copy isnt utilizing my dual layer burner. Do i need special cd's to use dual layered burning?

First off, which Dual Layer DVD burner do you have?

Yes you do need Dual Layer DVDs to utilize the dual layer feature of a dual layer burner. Regular DVD-R or DVD+R will not burn in dual layer.

An based on your last post, I'm guessing that your back up of Constantine is the only one you are having trouble playing on your computer? is it backed up on a dual layer or single layer DVD?
