Trouble with disc copy of DVD-Video

[fastartcee]

I have created & edited a video using Nero 6 VisionExpress, and have successfully burned it as a DVD-Video to a DVD-RW, using my Pavillion laptop.

When I put it into the DVD reader in my desktop Sony Vaio, and try to use Nero 6 disc copy to copy it to a DVD+RW in the desktop DVD burner, I get the Nero error message, "This video cannot be copied onto a DVD".

The DVD-Video plays on the Vaio just fine, and the Vaio burner works just fine, so I'm stumped as to why Nero won't burn a copy for me. What am I missing??

The DVD+RW target disc is good quality, and newly erased.

I tried copying to the HDD, and then burning ...and that worked flawlessly. But why can't I do a disc-to-disc copy?? (That would be much quicker, of course.)

Any help would be appreciated.

Why are you trying to go directly from a + disc to a - disc? The file structures are different.

The differences are explained here.
