    In a nutshell -- I have several DVD's that are DVD-R's burnt on a Sony DVD Recorder. The have video on them (almost 5 hours a piece). I simply want to duplicate them (totally non-copyrighted video). I tried using my Samsung TS-H552U to go from DVD-R to DVD-R via an image file with no luck (see my earlier post). So I finally upgraded to Nero 7.0 and still no luck ("command sequence error" among others). So, based on a lot of reading here, and other places, I figured maybe it is the Media -- so I tried to take a copy from the DVD-R to a DVD+R... oops, Nero will refuse to do that... Unless I modify the .nrg file. Also, a suggestion was to use DAO instead of TAO and I tried to do that by burning to the Image Recorder in DAO mode first -- no luck there either.

    So, how do I do this? Any suggestions will be MUCH appreciated.

    Thanks,

    I had thought of that -- but the help file says that if you aren't changing the "structure" just use Nero proper... so I did.

    However, I took your suggestion and all I get is a "Failed to read from the file ?fc.s" error. <sigh>

    This is crazy ... is it Nero? or is it the Samsung drive?

    Thanks,

    Except Recode was able to import the DVD (non-encrypted) just fine. I watched the "preview" pane and it all came in perfectly clear. I can scroll forward and back and it is all perfect. So there shouldn't be any necessary decryption should there?
