DVD-R to DVD-R

I've used DVD X COPY XPRESS to copy a few DVD's onto DVD-R's ... When I try to make another copy from my DVD-R Copy DVD X COPY XPRESS won't let me do it. When I try to use DVD Shrink I click "Open Disc" Than I select the drive that the DVD-R is in and it when I click "Open" it gives me this error "DVD Shrink Encountered an Error and cannot Continue .. The Error is .. Failed to Open File ... The Reason Is ... The System cannot find the file specified"

Any Ideas?

Thanks

 

DVDXCopy has a built in security measure that stops you copying the disc. I think you can still do it using nero though. You dont need to open DVD Shrink since it has laready been ripped and so there will be no CSS encryption on it. that explains the Shrink error. Try right clicking on the drive and clicking explore. Then copy and paste the files to a new folder. I might actually add all the VOB's into TMPGEnc DVD Author and create a new IFO etc.. as the DVDXCopy one will always have copying protection.

 

You can copy your originals as many times as you want with dvd x copy xpress right?

 

Yes, but why would you want to?

 

Maybe Im just into collecting hundreds of copies of my originals .. lol

 

lol - i suppose so....;-)

 

Ive never had a problem copying originals onto DVD-R then onto further DVD-Rs.

I use DVD-Shrink to copy the original to the HD. Then copy the subsequent files onto DVD-R using Nero. The resulting disk can then be copied as many times as u like using DVD-Decrypter.

 

Ur DVD XCopy discs?

 

I'm trying to copy from one dvd-r to another whats the best way for doing this??

 

Right click on the drive it is in and then explore. Copy all the files into a new folder on your deskyop and burn in Nero or something.

 

ok i done what you said oriphus but just 1 file it not copying "VTS_01_2" all the rest have, the error message keeps coming up "cannot copy VTS_01_2:data error (cyclic redundancy check). i have tryed copying from dvd+r to dvd+r but nothing is working any ideas??

 

How was the copy created?

 

I put the dvd+r in my dvd-rom, then i went to my computer right clicked the film explore, and try copying the files to my desktop!

 

I mean the original copy - was it a DVDXCopy original?

 

i had dvix file and copyed it onto dvd+r as a dvd with nero!

 

Is VTS_01_2 one of the main VOB files? Also, does this file play if you select it using WinDVD?

 

I use Alcohol 120% for DVD-R to DVD-R and just use the copy wizard. This works Just as well for Backing up original ps2 games to DVD-R

 

Ok, I`ll have to give that a go. So far alcohol works for me,(the software and the Beer i`m drinking lol).
Only problem ive ever had is a bad batch of princo 4X disc`s, but who hasn`t.
Maybe i won`t be such a cheapskate next time and buy a better brand.I have burn`t on Maxmax 1X and now i have seen the Maxmax 4X, does anyone know what they are like?
BTW, I have the Pioneer AO5
