I am trying to copy an unprotected DVD to a DVD-R. I selected the drive and the destination drives (both the same, since I expected it to cache the disk, eject it, then allow me to put in the blank disk for burning). However, I get this status bar thing that says "Please wait while the drive become ready". This status bar has been sitting there for about an hour and the DVD drive isn't spinning. The hard drive does seem to be thinking, though. What gives? Does it just take a really long time for the drive to become ready? Do I *have* to burn it to the computer first and THEN to the DVD-R?

Is the problem during the rip or during the burn...sounds like a conflict somewhere.

Have you tried to rip to HDD with DVD Decrypter in ISO mode and then burn the image with DVD Decrypter or Imgburn?

I think it is a bad disk. I should have known--it was a Verbatim. Never again. I have switched to Sony disks but this one was an older disk. Thanks for your help!

The new Verbatim discs are top notch media better than Sony which is also good.

That hasn't been my experience. I sell public domain DVDs that I burn myself, and had constant headaches with customers complaining that the Verbatims were freezing/skipping, etc. When I'd replace their disk(s) with a Sony version, the problems went away 90% of the time....On top of THAT, I know I had about 10 DVDs per 50 pack of Verbatims that would give back a write error. I am averaging about 1 per 50 pack on the Sonys. Even the CompUSA brand DVD-Rs (Princo) I used were better than the Verbatims...I had few customer complaints with those ($20/100 disks) than I did with the Verbatims....
