Disc Copier 'Compressing DVD' When buring an ISO, identical to original, why the compressing phase?

Hi,
I'm burning an ISO with DiscCopier, and it puts up the Phase 1 of 1 dialog with the heading'Compressin DVD...' This is confusing me, as I do not want it compressed (anymore), I just want the image burned. When it finished, it goes to Finalizing disc, please wiat...(100%), but the heading is still Compressing DVD....
Possibly, it is just burning and this is a mistaken header. Very confusing. I could be missing something, but the behaviour is as if it is just putting the image to disc, no compressing at all.
Regards, Mark.

From what I and others can tell, if a disc does not have to be compressed, it won't. It's a bug when using Disc Copier that shows it's compressing. I've tested this myself and the original and copied files end up the same size.

If the ISO file size is smaller than the disc size, I don't think it is being compressed at all. That text should not be shown at all so just ignore it. This has been reported to Roxio.

Thanks for the confirmations - I had concluded as much myself, and observed that it did *not* seem to be doing any compression, yet there is always the doubt. Now the question becomes - what is shown if there is compression that has to happen - can one tell? Does it got to a 2 phase dialog box - compressing, then burning?
Just curious.
Thanks for the replies.
Regards, Mark.
