I have a DVD that was back up using DVDXCopy. Naturally, Dvdxpress or dvdxcopy won't let me copy it. I used DVDShrink 3.2 to back up the DVD to the HD but it give me an error when it is almost at the end. Next, I used Nero Recode to back up it to the HD. Same thing happened. Used Nero Recode again, this time I wiped the bottom first. Same thing. The DVD is not badly scratched or anything. I'm not sure if there is something wrong with the DVD or if it's the dvdxcopy protection. Here is the log file. ********** Nero Recode 2 ********** Version: 2.1.1.18 [serial removed by mod] Project type: Copy entire DVD Target size: DVD5 (2282925) Burn settings: Target: Hard disk folder Number of copies: 1 Target folder: C:\paris74(1) (26748764160 bytes free) Shutdown when finished: false Advanced Analysis: false Compress Adaptive: false 19:59:11 File burn_dvdfiles.cpp, Line 231 Compile DVD: init VMG Menus Vobs [19 vobus] 0.20MB -> 0.20MB [R 1.00] Video: 0.16MB, extra: 0.04MB Audio: 0 streams Subpicture: 1 streams 0. 0.

I'd leave all other settings to default except to ignore read errors and setting the read speed to 1X
