I copied an old commercial videotape (123min) to a DVD-RW on my home theater Pioneer DVR 7000. It plays on this one as well. I then wanted to compress it to a -R disc but X copy doesn't recognize the disc in either "Advanced" or "Simple" mode in either my DVD ROM or DVD Burner drive in my Sony multi-media computer. Intervideo WinDVD (on the computer) recognizes the DVD-RW disc and plays it. MS-Media Center doesn't! Why can't I get XCopy to recognize the disc - am I doing something incorrectly?

Hey,

Out of curiosity, why do you need to compress it to fit a DVDR if it's already on an RW?

Try doing a simple disc to disc copy with whatever burning software you have - Nero, RecordNow etc.

If I remember correctly, VHS had some sort of scrambling deal in it to prevent copying - maybe that transfered to the RW and is confusing XCopy - I've never done a transfer from VHS so I don't know, just a guess.

Thanks for your response. As an RW it only will play on the home theater burner that made it - it won't play on any other DVD player, other than in my computer. I tried MS-Media Center CopyDVD - and it doesn't recognize it. I'll try some other copy software that I have. I have a number of RW discs that I copied from over 2hr videotapes before I got smart and realized I could divide the content onto 2 -R discs that can be played on any DVD machine.
