    I am copying some family videos on to DVD-R with a Panasonic DMR30. I have tried to then make copies of them with the master in a DVD ROM drive and burning them to a Panasonic Multi Drive burner. It does not work. It either burns 1 minute then stops, or burns the menu only and stops. Do I need special software or is there something different about the DVDs made on the DVD recorder? Thanks for any help, my email address is germanfilm@aol.com

    Im presuming the DMR30 is a RAM burner, i cant quite remember. Are you trying to burn another RAM disc, or a DVD-R disc?

    What are the steps you take, from when you put the video onto the computer (what format is it in) until you attempt to re burn on new disc?

    yes I am burning DVD-R with the DMR30 (which will record DVDRAM also) when I tried to burn a DVD-R copy using a Panasonic multi drive it appeared to work, I dragged and dropped the entire VIDEO_TS file to burn, about an hour later the disc was burned but would only play the menu and then a blank screen on 4 seperate players. I have been reading about DVD Decrypter but why would a DVD-R that I recrded myself be encrypted? My current system does not have enought HD space to do what Decrypter appear to do ie rip the DVD and remove encryption, so I am buying a new system. then should I ues DVD Decrypter or DVDXCopy?

    I copy my movies made on my DMR-E50 (and perviously I was using the 30) using:

    DVD Decrypter
    DVD2one (to get rid of the fricken menu)
    Stomp RecordNow to burn.

    Thanks for the suggestions my main concern was there was something about recording from the DMR30 that was preventing me from copying, it is mainly my lack of appropriate hardware and software. I will utilize the suggestions here report back if there are any problems.

    Okay I got all the hardware etc, bought the new Pinnacle Instantcopy and downloaded DVD Decrypter. Instantcopy apeared to work initially but only burned 3/4 of the actual film then gave an error message. On the second try it appeared successful but the film ended at 2/3 of the way through even though the "successful completion" window came up. Very disappointing. However I followed the DVD Decrypter protocol iso read, to the HD, then iso write to the burner and got a perfect copy. What did Instantcoy do wrong and now what do I do with the .mds files ? trash em? Thanks

    DVD Decrypter created two seperate files on the hard drive the .iso file and .mds file, I have burned the copies with the .iso file successfully but just wondered what are the .mds files they are small like 4k kb.
