To copy an already ripped backup copy:
All blank dvd's state they will hold 4.7 gigs of data. Actually,they will only hold about 4.4 or so at max. Poor quality media may only hold 4.3 gigs. By the time all the conversions are used,you lose approx .3 of a gig.Just like a hard drive, Mine is 80 gig,but by the time all the conversions are used,It's only 76 gigs or so.
I only copy on the fly with my backup copies,not original copies.Most original dvd's are dvd-9's so they will have to be edited and compressed.
Here's how I do it,and 100% success rate with nero and dvd shrink:
On your first copy using shrink and nero:
1) High quality media- the cheap crappy media may not be able to cut it-too many errors.
2)4x burn speed max,slower-even better,fewer errors.
3)Cut out everything you can to reduce compression-main movie only.
4) Keep backup target at 4300 to 4360 mbs-max. Set it like this:
Open up shrink/edit/preferences/click dvd-5/scroll till custom/enter 4360 next to it/OK.
Now you got that first copy and it is well below 4.36 gigs:
Place it in your dvd-rom drive
Place blank in burner
Open up nero's copy disc
Make sure the rom and burner are selected in the right order.
Set your speed/# of copies
Let her burn at 4x max!
By reducing your backup target in dvd shrink, it will prevent a lot of problems.Especially on poor quality media. Stick with the good stuff,most anything made in japan.
