    Using DVD X Copy Platinum 3.20 . When burning a copy of a DVD> I load movie into DVD Rom drive and blank writable media in the DVD RW drive. I thought I was burning from Drive to drive but I had to let it write to hardrive first and then write. it takes 2 hours. Can this program direct copy from disc to disc? How?

    Copy on the fly, you mean? It can be done, but the coaster potential is very high... I would recommend sticking to the conventional methods, good quality media, low(ish) burning speeds etc...

    Thanks for the input and I got a good laugh at the coaster reference. First i heard of it.

    So two hours to burn a DVD is average ?

    Well, i can do a copy with Clone DVD2 in about 40 minutes... Sometimes a bit less, sometimes a bit more, but that also depends on your machine's fire power... When i do my backups i turn [bold]everything[/bold] off, including my net connection, firewall and anti-virus... I also [bold]don't touch the pc[/bold] while it's doing the job...

    That seems long, as though you might be in pio mode rather than dma mode. Also what do you have for a system and what is running in the background?

    My system is adequate but I was multitasking way too much. I was scanning 35 MM negatives at the same time and that was obviously my biggest problem./ I successfully copied my Longest Yard DVD earlier so I got that down now.
    Thanks for your help guys
