So say I made a backup of one of my movies... Matrix we will say. I now have a copy of the Matrix somewhat compressed on a DVD+R. would there be significant quality loss if I made a copy of the copy?
Good quality media and a 4x burnspeed on those original backup copies allow me to rerip them again using nero's disc copy feature.I can't tell a difference,even when I re-ripped from one of my re-rips. I also use dvd decrypter: Iso read/ Iso write Dvd shrink can also do this,just a bit slower than nero disc copy. All 3 of those ways work great,no difference between these re-rips and the first backup. If you have a lot of errors on that first backup-poor media or burned too fast, trying to copy them will be more challenging. Later
If it was a bad copy, then they will have the exact same errors as well so make sure your original burn is done with quality media and test them on occasion using a program such as DVDInfoPro or similar.
Thanks guys, do you happen to know if RiData 4x Dvd+R are bad media? I saw they were popular on Newegg so i bought them.
ritek ridata,have been good in the past, but there quality has come into question lately. Whats the media I.D on those?
Being relatively new to it all im guessing the media id is the number printed on the inside of the clear part of the dvd.. k4703365c402rs4072722d09317
If you have dvd decrypter,you can put the disc in and click mode, then iso read, and it should tell you the I.D. You could also download the program that scubabud mentioned. http://www.dvdinfopro.com/
