copy dvd's vs copy disc

[jstech]

if i try to copy a dvd (non-protected) using copy disc, it gets me up to a point where i load a dvd unused into the 2nd drive, click copy, and the dvd gets spit out. the info box on the side only notes that i have a dvd to be copied in the first drive.

if i use "copy dvd's) everything goes smoothly.

ok- so i can copy a dvd using copy dvd movies.

then what is the tab titled copy disc for?

again i am using 2 lite-on cdvdrw drives, lh-18aip, with the latest firmware.

 

just a curiousity- couldn't find the answer in the roxio manual

I'm positive that i chose d for the source and e for destination. i tried a couple of times. disc copier works, copy disc doesn't

nope. no stage to hard drive.

You don't by chance have "Stage to Hard Drive..." checked on the options page do you?The help files say you cannot do disc to disc if it is.

I know this is very basic but are you sure you are choosing different drives for the Source and Destination?If you used the same one for both that's what would happen.

I tried copying a DVD I made using 2 drives.I chose one as the Source and one as the destination.I made sure the bottom box showed the correct box as the destination.I pushed burn and away it went.It worked just fine.It was slow as heck though.

Try using Disc Copier from the Start menu.It's under Start,Programs,Roxio EMC9,Copy.It works a lot faster.
