    PLEASE HELP! I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure this thing out! I have no problem making copies of movies with ICopyDVDS and DVD43..very simple...but when it came to burning TV episodes it would only copy the very last episode. I'm not sure if it because of the DVD-R's I'm using, if 4.7Gb is too small? Should I buy the 8Gb ones then it'll burn all 4 episodes? On ICopyDVDd, there's a DUAL thing where I can check? What is that? Someone please help me.

    A dual layer will back up all your episodes with no compression. It sounds like your program defaults to what it considers the main movie. I use CloneDVD2 to copy TV episodal disks. You can copy the whole disk, but I usually split to two disks because of the compression and Clone allows you to preserve the menus on both disks. You can also download free programs DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink. Shrink will let you copy the whole disk and compress it to fit a single layer.

    Thank you guys sooo much. I'll go ahead and download the DVD decrypter. I did use DVD shrink and re-authored what I wanted on the DVD, but ICopyDVDS still only recorded one episode and like last time it burned ep.5..this time only ep.4 so it could be that program. I'll try it guys. Thanks again!
