What's a good app to copy a DVD-R?

[harpe025]

Hey all, I have a DVD-R that a relative gave me of Grandpa's 80th birthday. It is not encrypted so I would think I can just copy it like a CD-R. However, I am EXTREMELY new to DVD burning (my drive hasn't even arrived yet). Is there an app where I can just hit "copy"?

I'd say Nero or Record Now Max are the best at this...

Can you have both Nero and Roxio 5 Plat. on the computer at the same time? Thanks for the help

Yes...they can coexist...

or you can use DVD Decrypter (freeware) and copy the vid in ISO mode, then burn the ISO straight from DVD Decrypter.

easy, fast, free.

Nero.. DVD to DVD (CD 2 CD) but tell him to not make the copy on the fly.. it will make an image on the Hard disk then burn.

Nero can become jealous and cause problems(kinda like my ex-wife) of other burn software.I would install Roxio first then Nero,if Nero has a fit then throw it in the trash(get a divorce).

At the risk of making your decision more difficult... I use Prassi PrimoDVD 2.0. I've always found it reliable and easy to use. Disc to dics copies are very simple - select the drive to copy from, select the drive to write with, probably best to select 'copy to hard drive first', then click burn.
Nice

Hope this helps

just use DVD Decrypter. It's free and very easy in use. Just read and burn in ISO mode

I burn at 4X on-the-fly dvd to dvd. (16mins) Make sure the source and destination are on separate ide channels and DMA is enabled on both. I use Nero.
