    When in doubt ... start with the media.

    What brand of media are you using?

    Hello yzeone
    Nearly all newbies, myself included, start out lost as far as media. Read the media posts in the "media" forum to see what others have had to say. The majority here have found the Branded Ritek/Ridata GO4's or Verbatim DataLife Branded disks are your best bet. There are several others that work well also but then you wouldn't get to have all that fun by reading the posts to find them,,,, lol,,, Happy Hunting

    Verbatim DataLife "PLUS" :) Don't forget to look for the plus.

    yzeone,
    Alot of people have this problem and yes usually it is the media. All you really need to use to make a copy of a copy is to do a Diskcopy w/ a DVD Burning program: Nero, Roxio, Sonic you can even do it using DVDDecrypter in .iso mode. Do the read in .iso and then write the data in .iso

    Hi Again yzeone
    Just remeber, the copy can be no better than the original. If you are copying bad copies, the new ones will be bad also.
