    try using pinacle instant copy and dvd decrypter. Decrypt it to your hard drive and then burn using instant copy. The quality is no where near as good as the orginal copy though.

    Nero should handle this with no problem at all.

    Do a "DVD data copy" on the fly.

    Might I suggest an alternative? Just go to New Compilation in Nero, then select DVD-COPY, then leave all settings and insert your disc. It will put the files onto the hard drive, then insert blank and it will copy them in an exact duplicate. No need to use DVD Decrypter, as the files are not encrypted.

    I have been successful in backing up a backup using nero dvd-copy mode.

    Unless you have two DVD machines (at least one writer) the process will first take the data onto a hard disk image, which can take 40 minutes. Then to burn it onto a new DVD-R, about 50 minutes. It depends onthe length, of course and the speed of the DVD-R! Allow two hours.

    Paul.

    PS : If you have a writer and a burner, then this will be quicker, as you will be able to copy on the fly from on to the other, without the need to make a hard disc copy.

    I think I'll go get a (Sony)Lite-On DVD Drive to sit with my Pioneer 104

    DVD-Copy took me 25mins in Nero & 50 mins to burn (at X1). It was MIIB and only 3.33Gb after extracting movie only.

    peace -out

    do you have to have the reader and burner on seperate IDE cables to have it copy on the fly? I heard that you can get the info crossed up if theyre on the same cable

    I'm on the same IDE cable and I've only burnt using Image to HDD 1st.

    Not had any problems as of yet with that method

    On-the-fly always has the potential to give you a coaster instead of a DVD-R
    IMHO

    You should have them on separate IDE buses. As said before, two drives on the same IDE bus increase your chance's of creating a coaster.

    Did a copy of a copy on-the-fly with both drives on the same IDE cable.
    On a cheap Bulkpaq X1 [Purple]

    Results...ALL GOOD

    It was THE BOURNE IDENTITY for the curious heads out there.

    takes about 64 mins on the fly using nero express version 5.5.10 (i think something like that) using 1x yellow data write,. Have also had success with recordmax dx but i do have hit misses with that binning out at about 90 percent i think that is due to buffer with the software nero seems to handle it better.

    winme/xp
    nero for cd to cd/recordnow for inital burning
    dru500a (master)
    toshiba (slave)
    athlon xp1600
    2X hard drives (can not go wrong)

    its a version cd/dvd burning software version of recordnow max that comes with sony dru500a burners, no idea what the differences are between the two as both look virtually identical. have look around for recordnow max a few places you can download trail versions
