Burns once wont again DVDXCOPYXpress

[CHayes1126]

Ok I am using DVD X Copy Xpress to burn my collection of DVD's. Here is what the problem is. First I put the DVD in and it reads fine. Then when instructed I put a DVD=RW in to test the DVD make sure it looks good and works. After it gets done burning I push it right back in and test on the same DVD+RW Drive I just used. It works perfectly. Then I do the EXACT same thing only this time with a DVD+R, when I got to play it, it says NO DISK. Even when I try to explore the disk in my computer it says no disk. I have ruined several DVD+R's that way and they are expensive I cant keep wasting them. Can someone help.

I don't believe DVDX Xpress will allow you to make multiple copies. I would just copy or rip the files from the DVD+RW to a VIDEO_TS folder on my hard drive then use RecordNow Max or Nero to burn that folder to a DVD-R disc. Or better yet just use DVDshrink in the first place and burn with RecordNow Max or Nero.

Copy the files from the directory that is created to a new folder and then shut down DVDxcopy.

The use another software application to burn - Nero, copy2dvd etc.

Yep Bob is right. DVDXcopy has something built in to stop you making a copy of a copy. Id just go use something other program there are better/cheaper (free!) progs out there that can do just as much.

use dvddecrypter and mage an image of your dvdr and then burn the image.

Or use another program (Nero, ECDC, etc) and make a disk to disk copy of the RW disk to the +R disk.
