kevbo9 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Basically I have a bunch of burned DVD's that I want to copy. All the burned DVD's are on DVD-R and all my blanks are DVD+R. When I go to copy it won't let me use the DVD+R. Is there a way around this or can I only copy DVD-R to DVD-R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbrewst Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 According to the help files some drives may not be able to copy one type to the other.Maybe this is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 You could try copying the -R disc to an image file on your hard drive, then copy the image file to the +R disc. that may work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggrussell Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Should also work if you have two DVD drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbo9 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Unfortunately I don't have two drives. It's a laptop with only one. I'm trying the save and burn image route. Hopefully it woks Well that didn't work either. It's specifically asking me for a DVD-R in the drive. It does not do this when I copy a DVD+R. I don't understand why it has to be DVD-R to DVD-R only.

gi7omy Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 What type of drive do you have? It's possible that it's -R only (some are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdanteek Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 What type of drive do you have? It's possible that it's -R only (some are). It does not do this when I copy a DVD+R. What copy program in the suite are you using? Tell how you open or navigate to the program, from where? cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbo9 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 It's not DVD-R only because I can copy a DVD+R to a DVD+R disc just fine. What it won't let me do is copy a DVD-R to a DVD+R disc. I'm using a Sony Vaio with Windows Vista and Roxio EMC 9. I just open a shortcut on my desktop, insert the DVD I want burned and hit copy. Once it's recorded it, it asks me for a blank DVD. If I have recorded a DVD+R it asks me for any blank DVD. If I have recorded a DVD-R it asks me for a blank DVD-R specifically and if I insert a DVD+R it rejects it and tells me to use the DVD-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggrussell Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 HAve you tried Larry's suggestion? Use Disc Copier and set destination to Image File. That will burn an ISO to the hard drive. Then burn that file to a DVD+R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdanteek Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Read this post. Sorry malatekid, that post won't help! Open Disc Copier, put the disc to be copied in the drive. On the source side choose CD DVD Copy. On the destination side, drop down arrow choose, disc image. Then click save as and choose a folder on your HD to save. cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
