IM GOING TO ASSUME YOU ARE COPYING AN SVCD?YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO JUST COPY ONE SVCD TO A BLANK DISC THROUGH THE WIZARD.NERO I THINK IS ONE OF THE BEST.GIVE ME A FEW MORE DETAILS AND ILL TRY TO HELP

[sheepshagger1968]

sak id appreciate that, what other details do u need?the original is on a database media 80min cdr, the files r as follows- file cdi, inside reads cdi-imag, cdi-txt.fn, cdi-vcd.app, cdi-vcd-cfg...file ext- inside is lot-x.vcd, psd-x.vcd....filempegav- inside is avseq01....file segment is blank and file vcd- inside is entries.vcd, info.vcd, lot.vcd, psd.vcd.
when i try 2 burn it gets to 34% then comes up burn process failed @ 24x3600.

when i try to copy to a new folder it comes up cannot copy avseq01- the system cannot read from the specified device.
if you need more info let me no.i hope u can help m8.

FIRST IT MIGHT BE YOU HAVE THE WRONG CODEX INSTALLED GO TO
http://www.etplanet.com/downloads/moviecodec.shtm AND D/LOAD THE FIRST BUNDLE,THEN TRY BURNING AT 4

hello......this may be a simplistic answer to your question...but if you only want to do a straight copy of a vcd or anyother disc. .....CLONE CD. .in my opinion is the best copier out there hope this helps...

to big; thanx tried to download clone cd but wouldnt let me


to sak; done that and the same thing happened.wouldnt let me go down 2 4 either minimum was 8

you should be able to do a str8 disc copy w/any burning software, regardless of whether you have any codecs installed or not.
they are not needed to copy CD's.
I would maybe try burning at a lower speed--although I don't necessarily think you need to go as low as 4x.
what speed is the reader you're copying from?
there's a rule of thumb about how much faster your reader needs to be than the speed at which you burn--twice as fast?--anybody that remembers, feel free to correct me.
