I have a Ricoh DVD+RW/+R (MP5125A) I like to know that can I make copies of the DVD video I bought. I have tried a few time in Nero by myself on a DVD+R, or DVD+RW but it won't work on my home DVD player I was wondering do I need specific type of DVD+R. Is there actually DVD type specifically made for video and movies? Also, is the type of DVD player matters as well? Thanks for help ^^. Franklin
Vashee, There's really no specially made blank DVD media for use in backing up your DVD's to make it play to your home DVD players. It all relies more on how you Rip, Edit, and burn your DVD's. What sofware do you use?
I have the same dvd recorder too and can't get the dvd to play on my stand alone, but can play it on my computer with only windows media player,A avi to dvd+rw works fine and I can see it on my stand alone, but dvdx copy doesnt work? what gives, and were can i get spruce dvd maestro?
Vashee, Use this guide and you should not have a problem burning DVD's. I have burned allot and not one coaster. Plus I have played then on at least 7 different home players. Good Luck. Used: DVD Dycrypter 3.4.1.0 IFOEDIT 0.95 Nero 5 Insert the movie you want to copy into your dvd rom tray and load DVD Dycrypter Choose "Mode/ISO/READ R". This will let you know if the DVD is a 1 layer or 2 layer disc(DVD5 or DVD9). If it is a 1 layer it will fit to one DVD+R and read my DVD5 guide for details. Now choose "Mode/File F". We will be ripping and burning just the movie. Decrypter will highlight the movie for you. You also need to rip the "bup" file for the chapter that movie is in and the main "VIDEO_TS.IFO and VIDEO_TS.BUP". You need to have all these files to burn a working disc. Example: VIDEO_TS.IFO VIDEO_TS.BUP VTS_01_0.IFO VTS_01_0.BUP VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_01_2.VOB VTS_01_3.VOB VTS_01_4.VOB Rip these files to your hard drive and when it is completed load your IFOEDIT095 program. Also make a new folder for your soon to be edited files. Call it something different than the exact name of the movie so that you can differentiate between the two folders. We want to take out all the audio streams that we don't need to make our files smaller so that it will fit to one disc. Click "open" and find your IFO file for the chapter (VTS_01_0.IFO). Now click "VOB Extras" and "Strip Streams". The default settings should work but also check off "Create New IFO Files". Make your destination folder is the one that you just created. Now click "OK". Now a new screen pops up and you need to check off the items that you want. I normally only check off the English 6 CH. because that is all I need. Now click "strip it". This may take about 45 minutes just like the original rip. When it is finished a box will say VOBpointers corrected. Click ok and close IFOEDIT. Reload the program and "open" your new chapter IFO file from your new folder. Now click the button "set VTS sectors". After this is done, you are ready to burn. Make sure that your new folder is less than 4.36 GB in size. If it is larger then you'll have to use a different guide to make 2 DVDs or compress the files. Now assuming that all has gone well, you can load your Nero software and insert your blank media. Click create a DVD/Other Formats/DVD-Video. Find your ripped/edited DVD files on the right and drop all the files in Nero's VIDEO_TS folder on the left. Check your settings and click burn. I used a +RW disc to make sure that my movies worked before burning to a +R disc. There it is, my simple guide. Comments or corrections?

genius1, DVD Dec Crypter is available on the afterdawn.com website. (home page) Goto software>DVD Rippers
I just installed my A05 a couple days ago and it was fine. But now when i click my computer it's not showing either of the drives and on dvd decrypter it's saying the same thing. Any ideas?
I am assuming you have some sort of "error" icon in device manager ? even though your PC can't see the device ? You may need to re install it. (Un install first of course) It may be a case of just going faulty. If hardware goes faulty, it's usually in the first few weeks. HomerJ
