Hi all,

I have some back up disks which are currently on dvd +r disks and won't play on my home player.
Does anyone know how i can copy these files on to the dvd -r disks?

I know you can burn straight with nero but the films seem to be glitchy.

Can I save these files to the hard drive and then burn with nero or something?

I dont think my dell laptop drd drive likes +r disks so if anyone knows of a way i can record on to hard drive using my burner and then insert a blank dvd in the burner to burn it?

I did try dvd shrink and dvd x copy but these wont read the disks, do these only copy dvd -r?

Please help,

Mark

mark1,

Your problem isn't in your media, it's in your player.

Buy yourself a new "cheapo" player, they will play both media. ($39.99 to 49.99)

If you have a dual format burner and want to try a -R copy, its easy. Insert your +R copy in burner. Open Nero and click copy complete disc. When it asks for the blank media, insert the -R blank and finish the burn. The files will be copied off your HD.

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for your info. I have used Nero successfully. It staes after each burn that it has failed but for some reason they all play fine.
