Hi,

Hoping someone will be able to help me out.

I have pretty much got to grips with backing up a DVD movie.

My question is though, once you have made a backup of a dvd movie onto DVDr can you then just do a direct copy on the fly from the movie DVDr to make a further copy of the movie.

I have a Pioneer A05 and a second DVDrom drive.

I have tried both Nero and Prassi PrimoDVD to do a direct copy and both give an error when reading from my DVDrom.

I can do a direct copy when I put the source in my Pioneer A05 and read from there then copy through an image, but why won't it read from my DVDrom.

Is my DVDrom the problem?

thanks for any help you can offer.

Could be your DVD Rom drive is a bit aged and wont read the data from your DVD-r correctly. Or if its new, could just be that it doesn't like the brand of discs you have used. I would expect your DVD-Writer to always be able to read the data as its the drive that created the data in the first place!

Would it not just be easier to make an ISO with decrypter and reburn with decrypter too? Sure, you can't just leave it for the whole process, but you only have to check on it after 30 mins or so to swap the discs.

Hi,

Thanks for your help so far.

Yes they are both connected to the same IDE cable. I am waiting to get a longer cable to split put them on seperate ides.

I can copy to an image first but it takes double the time and was just wondering why it was not possible to copy on the fly using the 2 drives.
