hi i've tried to back up a dvd r with nero and it says that the medium is not regonized, can u copy a dvd-r directly?
Depends on how the DVD-R was originaly created. On DVD-R's I make myself I can just do a straight copy. On ones made in my buddy's DVD VCR, I go through the entire DVDdecrypter, DVD2one process. Otherwise it will either give me errors or not play on some stand alone players. BTW- DVDdecrypter and DVD2one are slick when using a < 4.7 GB disc.
Totally agree with you Ken0042 I to use dvd decrypter, dvd2one and recordnowmax - excellent bit of software for data burning. I tried using the disc to disc (recnowmax) but always got an error at the end BUT the dvd still played ok. I then tried the following: I just put the dvd (the backup to copy) in. Then chose data option. Then just dragged n drop the VIDEO_TS folder to the blank - worked a treat and no errors..._X_X_X_X_X_[small]I never did mind about the little things[/small]
