Nero 6 won't copy DVD-R.

[twinegar]

I purchased the latest Nero 6 and when I try to copy from a DVD-R in my DVDrom to the burner I get a message saying (cannot copy this disc to DVD). The disc isn't copy protected or defective. When I click on disc info it shows a blank source disc. If I put the source disc in the burner and hit copy it works and shows the DVD-R content. The same problem occurs on every computer that has Nero 6 installed. I was using Nero 5.5 and didn't have a problem with this.

and you have checked your settings to make nero read ur dvd-rom as the source drive?Sounds like you have it setup to read the dvd-rw as the source drive to me.

[twinegar]

Yes. Everything is setup right. Nero 6 just can't read the content on the source disc unless it is in the burner.

Hello,

Can you play it in a normal dvd player??? It sounds like it isn't finalized if you can't play it in a dvdrom but the burner will play it.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Nero Digital Rights Management. Take a look at which processes are running, if you see NeroCheck.exe you have DRM telling you what you can and cannot do.

I tried to copy my Nero CD; while it was verifying the copy it gave an error (nero.exe is different). I did a compare on the original nero.exe and copy and the data had changed at 2 different addresses. It didn't do that on other copies I'd made.

Who was talking about copying a Nero CD ?

I thought they're talking about copying a DVD-R using the Nero software, aren't we ?

I really dont like Nero.

I have a special Plextor edition (to go with my Plextor drive)

I only use it to make images (which i then burn with Decrypter)

Have you tried ripping the contents of the source disc to a file on your HD, and then getting Nero to use the HD files as source?

Earlier versions of Nero 6 had this problem. Update to latest version and all will be well

...or make an image first, then burn image, using your writer only. Disc to disc copy is never a good idea (in reality) anyway.
