dvd-r disk copy to dvd+r

[Gaxeed]

I have a Ricoh 5125A DVD+R/RW drive. I would like to know is there any way to duplicate a DVD-R disk to a DVD+R disk because of my burner.

Thanks for any suggestion.

Sure if you have a second drive that is a DVD drive to read the source disc. I don't believe a DVD+R drive will even read a DVD-R disc but then I have never tried it.

If I got one more DVD ROM drive to read the disk, can I copy it to the DVD+R with normal DVD copy software?
Since it is just a homemade video in the DVD-R disk, I just want to know the final output DVD+R disk can be read from DVD player.

Yes. As long as the player can read that kind of disc. Media is the biggest issue here. An on-the-fly copy would get the data set correct.

Sure just do a disc to disc copy, I do it all the time with RecordNow software. Or you could just copy the contents of the source to your hard drive and burn the files to a DVD+R.

As for if your DVD player will play a DVD+R about 80% of them will but to be sure just list your DVD players brand and model number and I will look it up for you to see what formats it does play.
