DVD-R to DVD-R ???

[krazyd]

Hey all, this is my first post on this board, and I am pretty new the DVD burning scene, but I do know some things. My question is: If I have already copied a DVD onto a DVD-R, can I duplicate it onto another DVD-R without going through the entire process I went through to get the info onto the original DVD-R? (ripping, shrinking, converting, burning)

Can it just be copied, or do I need to go through all of those steps again?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Can it just be copied?

yes

tompika is correct... but please take the time to read all the appropriate guides and to do a forum search before asking questions that have been answered a couple of times before.

I use RecordNow Max and just tell it to make an exact copy which works every time.

Yeah. You only have to do all that stuff once. After that, if you want to copy the disc, you can do an "on the fly" copy of it, or you can copy all files to hard drive, then copy them onto the blank. I personally do on the fly copies of discs that have already been "done", and I just turn off all other applications so as not to cause any stutters on the final copy that may occur from memory overloads and whatnot.

I am going to try using Nero 6 to copy DVD to DVD and see if it works. I was pretty sure that this could be done without any problems, but I just wanted to make sure.

Does it still take the same amount of time to copy and burn? It takes me 53 minutes to burn an ISO file @ 1x with Nero 6 now. Will it take a longer, or shorter amount of time to copy a DVD?

Thanks to everyone that posted!

If its already a copy just use dvd decryptor
mode\iso\read then mode\iso\write simple as that.

I use AnyDVD and cloneDVD with great results so far.
