Burning problem

Ok I have copied my friends burned verion of seinfeld, beyond that I have copied it in a dvd folder and an iso, and i am trying to copy using roxio. When I burn it everything looks like its done successfully but when i open the dvd-r it has nothing in it and it has been closed. This also happens when i use dvdxcopy to directly burn movies any suggestions thank you in advance

 

Any help please!!!!!!!

 

The original file that you got from your friend, what is its format (e.g. avi, mpeg, video_ts folder)?

 

its a video.ds plays in your dvd player like a dvd movie with title screen and all, but its not even just that even on straight copies from dvd to dvdr with dvd xcopy and i dont get any errors its just doest work

 

I trust you mean 'video_ts folder', right? In that case, you may try use a different program (e.g. DVD Decrypter) to burn it to dvd:

Run Decrypter, select 'mode --- iso --- read' to rip dvd to harddisk as iso (you have to set the destination, of course). Then select 'mode --- iso --- write' to burn the iso onto a blank dvd.

Good luck!

 

ok thank you so much im going to try that out how about with dvd x copy why doesn't that work and yes u were right .ts

 

alright that didn't work i think i am having some sort of problem with my burner?

 

Can you be more specific (e.g. Was Decrypter able to rip the dvd to harddisk as iso)?

 

yes it was able to sorry then when i burned it to a disk it burned successfully or so it said only to find there was nothing on the disk

 

Have you been able to burn to dvd at all?

 

only one time i was sucessful burning my dl copy of tommy boy which was an avi and i used winavi video converter turned it into a dvd folder and then used roxio and burned it. besides that it has been an utter failure

 

O.K., let's do it one step at a time. Now begin with the original dvd, run Decrypter, select 'mode --- file', and rip the dvd to harddisk, then see if you can play the video from harddisk folder.

Good luck!

 

ok yes it worked i used decryptor like u said and played the folder with vlc media player

 

Good, the ripped dvd on the harddisk should now be protection free and ready for the final burning. Now if you have Nero Recode, do this:

Run Recode, select 'copy entire dvd to dvd', 'import dvd', then go highlight the video_ts folder of the movie, and follow from there.

Good luck!

 

i have roxio can i use that or only use recode

 

Well, actually after ripping successfully with Decrypter, you can use any popular burning program for burning to dvd. I suggested Recode only for the reason that it's very reliable when it comes to burning. But of course you can try Roxio or any other programs to compare the results. So long as they work, it really doesn't matter.
