copy a dvd copy

Can someone tell me how to make a copy of a copy of a movie.I bought a movie and made a back up but I tryed to make a copy of that And it won't work.

thanks.gkk

 

I'd be interested in this as well. A backup of an original disk is no problem but I've never been able to copy the copy.

 

You have to use good media burned a the "correct" speed. If you use crap and burn fast there are errors on your write that will make reading difficult. Your dvd player might read it but your drive in your computer is more sensitive. Hope this helps. You can test how well you are burning.

try using the software that came with your burner e.g. Nero, Nero
Start Smart, choose DVD click symbol to copy dvd, window will come up
and away you go.

 

Just wanted to let all know that I followed budberner's advise and it worked.I slowed nero down and burned at 4X and went out and bought memorex dvd-r.Yes I was using cheap -r's.I will now only use cheap dvd's for thing's I would never want a second copy of.

thanks again.

 

Actually, I had been using Taiyo Yuden (genuine) or Ridata burned at 4x in Nero Express. I'll try it again. Thanks

 

nero works burning on the fly yes but its risky the better way to do it using dvd decrypter ISO read ISO write ,its that easy remember to use good blank media (Taiyo Yuden and or Verbatim)heres a guide

Well, I don't know where but I must have been the problem. Just copied 2 different copies and all worked great, so thanks again.

 

mistycat if your burning on the fly with nero slow it down a little like 4x

 

Thanks, but the burning speed can't be an issue as I have always burned at 4x and used good media, too. I'll probably never know what it was but all seems fine now. Incidentally, thanks for the link to the guide by bbmayo. An excellently written guide that I have used in the past before support for DVD Decryptor ceased.

 

Alcohol 120% works for me all the time at 4x speed on Ridata/Hyundai cheaper blank DVD-R's

 

Thanks, it was so long ago that it last failed, I can't really remember what the issue was but I'd pretty well chock it up to me. Now, all is fine.

 

if i make a backup of a backup the programs that use are ashampoo, nero or blindwrite they make good backups, not all of the programs the one that i use the most is ashampoo

 

I use Nero to do backups of backups. I don't do the "on the fly" which is disk to disk, but let Nero rip the backup and mount the image on the HDD and then let it burn. It is only temporary and the file is automatically deleted when done. This makes for less errors. Just my two cents

 

i use easy creater 6 only on one computer,to back up a back up..i set it to copy to hd then burn..seems to work a little better then nero.

works every time..

 

also last night i tried the new option in anydvd 5901..BETA
by right clicking the fox icon in the task bar to copy the back up to the hard drive.if theres a problem it fixs it..and it works great ........

a copy can be made in clonedvd with the write existing date,3rd button down in the start screen...

New: Added "AnyDVD Ripper". This little tool repairs defective DVDs
while copying them to your harddisk. It can be started from the menu of the AnyDVD fox icon.It is identical to FixVTS (http://www.videohelp.com/~FixVTS/) but instead
of fixing problems "in place" it copies the files to your harddisk directly
from the source DVD. It fixes the problems while the files are copied.
Some DVDs which have severe mastering defects e.g.,
