With DVD Copy 1 & 2 I was able to browse to a DVD I had stored on my hard drive and DVD Copy would detect that a folder was a DVD and I could choose the scenes, etc. I'm now running Vista and lost the ability to browse to a file and choose a folder on my hard drive that was a DVD with v2, and consequently purchased v3 of the software today figuring it would remedy my problem. Although I see the DVD icon on the folders in the Roxio browser, I am still unable to browse to a DVD folder and simply select it, see the scenes on the DVD, click ok and burn. This feature in all its simplicity is why I can't live without this software and pay to purchase every version when it comes out. Is there something I'm doing wrong or has this feature been disabled?
(Screenshot or it didn't happen... )
(YOUTHCONF2 (my youth conference slideshow DVD) should display the DVD menu and contents on the right side where it says "Browse to find content for your project" and the OK button should be available to click... but it's not. Oddly enough, the feature will work IF I make an image (ISO, etc.), and should you choose the image route it unfortunately won't magically convert the 6gb image to fit a 4.7gb disc like it used to. It takes nearly 10 minutes to make an image anyhow, which is a huge pain in the butt versus the 1-2 minutes it takes to rip the disc to the hard drive.)
Thanks for your help.
* FYI - After reading the Roxio announcements in depth I just want to clarify I'm not working with copyrighted content. The reason I go through with ripping the DVD image to the hard drive first is that a direct drive-to-drive copy doesn't even copy at 1x whereas I can rip to the drive in roughly a minute or two and then burn at 16x in only a few more minutes. Burning at 1x takes well over an hour for a standard DVD!
