    Hi Guys.

    I suspect I am doing something wrong here!

    I have ripped an original DVD with DVD Decrypter in ISO mode. It was a single layer disk and less the maximum allowed for a direct copy. No DVD Shrink. i.e no compression or stripping out of extras, or audio tracks etc.

    I then burned the new DVD using DVD Decrypter and the ISO image. This was succesfull, and plays on my standalone player OK (if a little noisily), these were cheap disks, so I am happy.

    However,I was suprised to find that I cannot play that disk on my PC, as PowerDVD and Windows Media Player both say that there are copyright issues!

    Should I have copied in a different mode, with different settings, or used different software?

    Thanks

    The method you have used to back-up a DVD5 is perfect. IE ISO read then ISO write. You really shouldnt have a problem if you stick to this method. Have you tried playing the offending disks on a friends PC?

    Hi

    Thanks very much for you answers fella's.

    I now think that this is a media quality question. I did say that I was using cheap DVD's! :) (Bulkpaq Orange x4 -R)

    I have just re-burned this movie (with the same ISO file) to a more expensive disk (DVD +RW), and it plays in my PC and the standalone player just fine, and it is a LOT quieter when running in my player!

    THe copyright warnings just blew me off the scent!....lol

    Thanks for your help
