Well I listened to Blinkie and downloaded Clonedvd2 and used this to burn the parts of the 2 original dvds to my hard drive. This worked. I than used Recode to put the 2 parts onto 1 dvd and was successful using the Remake a DVD process!! Finally. this remaking of the dvd took approximaletly 90 minutes. Is this a long time or is there something I can do to shorten the burning process? I then used this new dvd and burned another copy using Recode and the Copy entire dvd process. This was successful but took 106 minutes to burn. I have attached both logs. Thanks for all your help. ********** Nero Recode 2 ********** Version: 2.2.6.17 1A22-XXXXXXXXXX Project type: Remake a DVD Target size: DVD5 (2282925) 21:44:15 File LangStreamPatcher.cpp, Line 56 Command table patching started... 21:44:15 File LangStreamPatcher.cpp, Line 133 All tables successfully patched!

That's the kind of thing you would get if your drives were in PIO mode. The only thing i think might have something to do with it is this one: I think this is the way the source disc is scanned... It does take a lot longer... Like, instead of scanning in a straight line, it waves through the file. The rest isn't allarming... (quite good actually!) If possible try to keep it within 4300Mb to avoid burning too close to the edges... That's what i'm talking about!! :-D Good!
Thanks Permiggs I really appreciate all of the assistance given by you and the others in this forum. It is quite a service you provide and it is sure better then the customer support offered by Nero. Is there anything I can do to change Sequential Recording Mode?
