copying from bad media..?

[roxbang]

Hi

I`ve bought some Princos and copied some of my movies, but as a lot of people are very severe on Princos`quality around here, I was wondering:

maybe if some of my discs starts to give me playback problems...would a direct copy (PRINCO DVD-R to HIGH QUALITY DVD-R) be a solution?

Or would the messed-up brand mess up the new dvd-r too?

just wondering, cause I'd hate to shrink all the movie again, etc...

thx

I originally burned some movies to Optodiscs that gave me playback problems. After I figured out to start using Riteks I ripped the Optodiscs back to my hard drive and burned to Riteks, and they play just fine. Data is still just 0s and 1s, so it should read just fine and you can burn with better media.
