Multimedia forum: DVD copies of DVD's!

copy protected. What equipment is involved in the copy?

On the computer, I have a Sony DVD Rom and an ATAPI DVD-DD - my original VHS to DVD recorder is a Pioneer DFVR-RT501 - and I am using DVD-R discs. When I try to record on Nero Express 6 it says there's not enough space - Data to be written is 4,489 MB and Data available is 4,488MB. When I try DVD Shringk 3.2 - when I click on Open Disc - it tells he there is no disc in the D Drive - when there is one. Today it said more - "The Volume does contain a recognised file system".

Thanks again for your help

OK I read thru my literature on the Pioneer DVD Recorder and VCR - I see it sometimes talks about when recording in the VR mode. Format modes used on each disc - with DVD-RW Ver.1.0,1.1 and 1.2 - it uses a VR mode. But I recorded on a DVD-R which uses the Video mode. I also noted that it said that discs recorded using a personal computer mya not be usable on this unit due to the setting of the application software used to create the disc. Am a on the right tracki?

IF it turns out that this unit does not allow me to use Shrink on my computer to make 2nd copies - how do I go about making 2nd copies of my already copied DVDs?

Thanks

Went into Nero and tried every possible combination - that is all the types of ways you can copy - it rejects all the time. If I go into Drive D (where my original is), it tells me it doesn't recognise the media. Am I just not getting something here?

Make and MODEL of the pioneer machine. While I'm not holding out much hope I re-read some replies and didn't find the model number.

Sometimes we find details if we get the details.

Wishing for the best outcome.

Just thought I would check this further - I played the copied DVD on other DVD machines to see if they would read it. 2 of the machines won't. Admittedly they are older DVD players (4 years) and the Pioneer is a new one. Don't know if this would affect that - but it's another interesting point!!

Read http://groups.google.com/group/alt.video.dvd/browse_frm/thread/e25388598fabfbba/eccb36d4a67e526f?lnk=st&q=Pioneer+DVR-RT501-S&rnum=2#eccb36d4a67e526f which notes this issue.

I don't have a cure for that. I did however gift 2 players that were either nonplayers of recorded media or balky at best. That solved 99.99% of the problems at home. I'm sure others won't do that.

I was just about to mention ISOBUSTER but you've cracked the code.

Best of luck,
