COPYING NON-COPYRIGHTED DVD'S WITH NERO 6

[FISHERMAN23]

I have a Ricoh MP5240A 4X dvd writer and I want to use Nero 6. However, when I try to copy a non-copyrighted DVD Disc to Disc I get a message telling me that the target media is not big enough and to insert a larger capacity disc. MEDIA INFO tells me that the file size on the source disc is is less than the space available on the target disc. I have succesfully copied discs in this manner with INTERCOPY DVD that came with my writer, but I would prefer to use NERO.

Are trying to copy DVD-R to DVD+R?


Which version of Nero?

[FISHERMAN23]

Yes. DVD-R to DVD+r

[FISHERMAN23]

Nero 6

[tompika]

A very full DVD-R can be 6MB larger than a DVD+R

Blank DVD-R 4,489MB 4,706,074,624 bytes or 4.383GB
Blank DVD+R 4,483MB 4,700,372,992 bytes or 4.377GB

Can you tell me whats the size of the movie?

What version of Nero, 6.3.0.2 is the latest, I hear earlier versions have some problems with sizing.
