    I have a boxed set that I want to copy to my collection. It has 3 one hour sessions on a disk. How do I copy each 3 hour session onto onto a DVD+R?

    Hello burn1.

    You can use DVD Shrink in Re-Author mode. Just drag the title you want on the DVD from the righthand window to the lefthand window and click the Backup! button. Repeat as necessary.

    Why dvd+ ? but try to put them on your hard drive in a folder and burn them with the help of shrink if shrink reads the file. just in case they are larger than a 4.7 disc. If they put them on 3 disc they are too big you can shrink them down but you will lose quality, disc are cheap, but you can do it. Dvd- will play better on most people's players.Or try a DL, if your're rich try blue ray (just kidding) How big are the disc what kind of files are they? just because they are 1 hour they could still take up a lot of room on a disc

    burn1, I misunderstood your question. It seems you want to copy all the episodes on each disk to another disk.

    rbrock is correct, either let DVD Shrink compress each DL disk to fit a DVD5 +R disk or make an exact copy with +R DL Verbatim media.

    I do disagree with rbrock about -R being better media. Almost any player manufactured in the last 5 years will play +R media. +R media can be booktyped as DVD-ROM if necessary.

    'cause thats what my burner is DVD+............besides after checking alittle further each disk is only 120 minutes, so I asked a question alittle prematurely. However I will be using DVDFab to decrypt , save to HD then burn to disks. Thanks for the words bro.

    120 min. per disc sounds like you'll need 3 disc you might get 2 disc on one but you'll need to srink if you do just make your own box set
