Duplicating DVDs MADE on the Pan DMR-T3040

[luezuve]

Hey gang. We have an old Philips DVD-Recorder at work and after we make DVDs of our own material, we cannot use a computer to copy them because of files that Philips adds to the disc. I have to manually edit them to get them to copy.

Here's my question, what's it like on the Panasonic DMR-T3040. Can I take a DVD that I've recorded from my own (not copyrighted) material and then mass duplicate it with a PC, or would I have to fudge it first?

One more thing, we'd only be using DVD-R not DVD-RAM.

DVDDecrypter in ISO READ mode(place that .iso image to the hard drive) then use DVDDecrypter in ISO WRITE mode to burn that back to a DVD(+-)R. Works every time with my Philips created discs....and DVDDecrypter is FREE.

Thanks for the advice, but we really want to use a DVD duplicator so no computer would be involved.

I must have read something wrong then...

Ah man. My bad. Sorry. I did say PC. I've been so overloaded at work I was thinking wrong. We're going to be using a duplicator not a PC. Thanks for the reply.

Always wanted to play with one of those....not sure why though...curiousity I guess..
I have learned that if you remove the Philips menu in a computer with DVDDecrypter - IFO Mode - stream processing - unclick subtitles(that is the menu on a Philips disc)....it does make them easier to work with in a computer. You may want to try that route....then make better looking menus with something like TMPGEnc DVD Author THEN to the duplicator.

Any stand alone DVD recorder makes a psuedo DVD, in fact your Phillips is the best as far as duplicating goes,from many who have tested them in comparison to others. The Panasonics even leave out the TS Audio file..
Author your videos on a computer if you want professional compatibility in duplication.

No arguements from me on that one. I've played with a few discs from other DVD Recorders and they are a pain in the ass compared to discs from my Philips 985.

I meant I wanted to play with a duplicator...

What media is the original on? DVD-R or DVD-RAM?

[luezuve]

It will be on DVD-R.
