1 to 1 DVD copy

[vcd4me]

I am trying to make my first 1 to one DVD copy using a dual layer disc

Can I just do this
DVDDecrypter or Imagburn ->ISO Read->ISO Write.
or
Do i need to do something else

Thanks in advance

That depends - are you trying to copy a commercial/retail DVD, or a home-made DVD?

[vcd4me]

i bought it on ebay but I think it is commercial made

It's a music videos dvds

Try ripping it with the free ripper portion of DVDFabDecrypter, then burn the results to the dual-layer DVD using Imgburn.

You may have mixed results if your dual-layer discs are made by anyone other than Verbatim, though, from others' experience here on VideoHelp.

You only need DVDDecrypter to do this, but may want to use ImgBurn for the burning part:

1. Open DVD Decrypter
2. Click "Mode"
3. Click "ISO", "Read"
4. Select Source
5. Rip to ISO file (select destination)

1. Click "Mode"
2. Click "ISO", "Write"
3. Locate the iso file that you just created.
4. Using Dual Layer discs, you will want to set burn speed low (i.e. 2.4X) - Burn.

Your copy is going to be an exact copy - down to any protections that were there also.

This method also works on DVD 5 originals.

Don't buy Memorex DL discs.

[vcd4me]

Don't buy Memorex DL discs.

Ok besides that

[guns1inger]

Honestly ? memorex DLs will, at best, give you about a 50/50 coaster ratio.

Only good combination is Imgburn with Verbatim +R DL blanks. Anything else is pissing away money in small increments.

[classfour]

I only use Verbatim DLs for the obvious reasons.

Stay away from the Made In India ones.

[vcd4me]

Ok so even with the verbatim I am having problems it seems to be at the 50% mark they fail maybe this is the layer brake

Are there any settings that I should be using /changing in imageburn

Thanks

How old is your burner ?

[vcd4me]

not sure but at least 2 yrs old if not more ,,,However I literally just opened it this week

[vcd4me]

Ok so I can't figure it out not sure if it is aa drive problem or what

Well I just found out that my work laptop has a dual layer burner in it so I have made copies of all of them except one ...it keeps hanging up on one spot . Then I tried ripping them as vobs into my DJ software and it hangs up at a certain vob

so besides the imgburn method s is there another way to do this maybe with smart ripper ...I searched the guides and can't figure out what to use

EDIT

Ok sop I tried smartripper and it said some files maynot play try using a player ...I tried and sure enough the vob that it hangs up on won't play ...this now means I have a damaged discsright ...is ther anyway to make this work

Thanks
