make copies of copies??

[sLiMjOnEsY]

Anyone know the best program to burn copies of already burned dvdrs? I used DVD decrypter before but i was just wondering if there is an easier or better way. Thanks

It seems that you own 2 DVD drives, including your DVD rom drive. Try copying on the fly, with Nero or a similar program. I've done it dozens of times and it works like a charm

I doubt there's anything more reliable than DVD Decrypter (Iso read, Iso write). You can copy on the fly (read source disc from your DVD-ROM while writing to your DVD-R drive) for faster results, but many posters find this technique unreliable.

I would suggest to create an image on your Hard Drive and then burn it. Copying on the fly greatly increases your chances of making coaters. It will take more time to create an image, but a little safer I think. IMG Tools w/ DVD Decrypter is a nice combo.

I only have one dvd drive in my computer, so I use nero and select copy DVD in there. It will put the files in a temp folder, and ask for a blank disc, and after it copies, it deletes the files from the temp folder. If your making more the one copy, make an image file first, and use that to make as many copies as you need.

How could there be an easier way ?

DVD Decrypter is still the best way. IMHO.

And what other prog plays you a nice little tune when it's finished.

[jimmalenko]

ISO Read / ISO Write. The best.....IMO.

Nero also plays a tune for you andyp1

Does it ? I can't remember now. I thought it just pops up with a box when complete. I'm sure your right.

The tune DVD Decrypter plays makes me nearly jump out of my chair when it starts .

Maybe we should have a which video software plays the best tune thread

I think DVD Decrypter and CloneCD play the same success tune, don't they ???

Nero plays a trumpet by default on a successful burn.

My all time favorite is the "ohhhhhhhhh, noooooooo" when you cancel DVDDecrypter.

ANY program will make a nice copy of a copy.

I mean, how hard is it to insert the original in your ROM, the blank in your RW, and hit "copy" on your favorite program?

Decrypter is a fine program, but if you're feeling lazy it IS a few extra mouse clicks, whereas Nero or some other general-purpose program... hit "copy" and walk away.

I've been very happy with Intervideo DVDCopy program (v2)... .it seems to very fast.

I choose DVD Decrypter for the added benefit that you have the ISO afterwards. I am starting to keep ISOs of all my backed up DVDs so I don't have to go through the Rip/Transcode process if my backup disc fails, just burn another copy from the ISO.

Well, it DOES make me jump outta my chair. I often start off a disk while I am working in the garden. I turn the volume high so that I can hear it and come back and start another. Sometimes I come back earlier, say 10-12 minutes after starting the burn. I may have a hot coffee or a cold lager in my hand, looking at the screen waiting for it to finish. Then WHAM! That tune plays and my drink ends up on the ceiling and I end up cussing and shouting. The missus ends up laffing. And this is on a regular basis!!

Me too. Something about her intonation almost makes it worth bombing out the program. 8)

I've just started a new topic about this guys , I've used your examples , I hope that's ok.

I prefer RecordNow Max, just put in the original, then a blank in the other writer, hit one button & copy.

I always copy with Nero. I throw the DVDR with the movie on it in the PC upstairs. Then the blank disk in the PC downstairs. Open nero drag the files from the network drive into nero and burn. Never had a failure yet doing this. I know lot's of people don't think burning over a network is reliable but it works for me.
