    With my computer and the 4 different programs I have, it is easy to make copies of DVD-R that I originally recorded. But if the DVD source is DVD+R, the only successful computer copy is on another DVD+R. Trying to use a source DVD+R and make a DVD-R copy on the computer has never been successful for me. I have Nero Smart Start, DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink 3.2 and DVD Fab 5. Since the source disc is region and protection-free, I suppose, I could play it (DVD+R) on one player and record onto another (DVD-R) in real time for a copy. Anyone know a computer method to go from DVD+R to DVD-R?

    Make an .iso of the content. (Imgburn works well for that) You can then burn to any supported DVD format.

    DVD Decrypter should work fine. With the disc you want to copy use Mode-> ISO-> Read. When done pop in your blank, Mode-> ISO-> Write and point it to your newly created ISO.

    I tried the DVD Decrypter as suggested before posting here. It ruined two DVD-R discs. But I did choose the .mds file as Decrypt prefers. Perhaps I should have chosen .iso. As suggested by the first response, the Img Burn worked fine for me. Thanks for the help.
