    I just tried my new Sony DRU-720A internal burner and it works great. I successfully ripped and burned an old Anime cartoon called StarBlazers and it looked as good as the original. I used DVD Decryptor only since it was less than 4.7 gig in size. My question is this...I still have the cartoons on my hardrive...but can I make a copy of the one I burned? I only have 1 drive so I guess I'd have to purchase a read-only dvd drive to accomplish this right? Thanks!

    you can make a copy of a copy,and you dont need a read only dvd-rom drive.
    just use the one you burned it with to put it back on the hardrive


    if you are talking about copying disk to disk(on the fly),.......i wouldnt,you may get a burn failure

    burning on the fly is taking a chance BUT i do it all the time as long as you use good blank media (TY) and a good burner(Plextor in my case) and burn at 4X you should be fine

    You only need one drive as hursty states, just use DVD Decrypter. Put your disk in and use iso read, when done put your blank in find your file on your hard drive and use iso write.
