copy files and burn from one DVD to DVD-r?

[3hitsaday]

You guys have helped me out so much, and i truly appreciate it. I bought Ridek's off of Amazon under your guidance and put together a 12 DVD project of my 4 month roadtrip and i could not be happier. My TDK 12x speed burner did not produce one coaster using Pinnacle STudio 9's editing and burning program!!! i've been thankful.

I made 5 copies of all 12 DVD-rs to give to my friends and family and now i realize i just need 1 more copy of each.

Can i copy and paste the Video_TS and Audio_TS folders it created as data on the DVD-r to a folder on the harddrive, then burn a copy of those folders on a new DVD as a dataDVD project and get the same results?

or is this another process that involves other programs, etc? like making ISO files, which i know nothing about....

any help is greatly appreciated.

You can use DVDdecrypter to make an iso to your hard drive then reburn using DVDdecrypter. Here are some guides:

Just copy and paste and choose dvd-video as method of burning.

All menus are created and files are not encrypted or copy protecred, so yes, you can just copy the files over to hard drive, then re-burn them in usual manner. Like johns0 said, you need to copy them back as dvd-video, and put the files in the VIDEO_TS directory. AUDIO_TS directory is there for compatibility reasons and is usually empty.

Either copy and paste or DVDDecrypter ISO Read/ISO Write will work. The DVDDecrypter method can just be a bit handier and less messy, buth both methods are essentially doing the same thing.
