Burning Copies of Copies

[Chewy]

after 100 copies with the criteria you mention using OTF, let us know the % of success.

In the last 2 years, according to memory, and repeated attempts
at isolating the coaster problem, it would be 100% success rate
with ideal conditions(as mentioned previously), that's a no-brainer.
Finding out why a backup will play in most standalones but not
copy on the fly is the real challenge and something I sacrificed
several TYG01's for today.
1. 2.3 processing on tier 3 media
2. 3.2 processing on tier 3 media
3. 2.3 processing on tier 2 media
I experienced 0% failure with tier one media as clean source disks.
~50% of the failures were due to dirty source disks

I usually never do OTF copying unless it first goes to the HD. I've never done a disc copy of DVD-Rs though, is it tougher than CD-Rs? I'll probably use Nero.

it's the same thing, just takes longer (usually)

dvd rewriters and disc speeds

Hello All,
this is my first posting. My problem is this.My dvd rewriter is rated 4 speed(sonyDW-U14A) When I copy a purchased dvd to an 8 speed blank through dvd shrink it plays perfectly.(disc is verbatim dvd-r). When I attempt to copy this copy on same dvd rewriter the disc gets read o/k but when I put a blank in and try to burn you would not believe the error messages that I get! This is the same with dvd decrypter and pinnacle instant copy. I have not tried it with nero .What am I doing wrong? It's doing my head in. HELP PLEASE.

"what am i doing wrong?"

using the copy. use THE ORIGINAL disc to make a copy. otherwise you have a better chance of finding a 3-legged ballerina than you do making a good copy, from a copy.

BUT what i forgot to say was if i make a copy on my 4 speed writer using a 4 speed blank disk , then I am able to make a perfect copy of a perfecy copy!Why does it not work with an 8 speed disk?

[LT. Columbo]

it's a different disc perhaps, check the ID codes.

I've done OTF copies of a DVD with the source and burner on the same channel and had no problems. Only real problem I had was from a -r to a +r and Nero said I needed a -r to copy to. I put in a -r and no problem.

4x burners may not like 8x media, check your firmware

"Admit it - you don't really know!"

USE THE DISCS THAT WORK

"thanks for your time"

Coming out of the same box is irrelevant. I have purchased media where some disc's in the same box, had different MEDIA ID's.

I started with Memorex, richol/jpn, cmcmag, etc, then slowly but surely it
all went to hell, especially with plex burners, switched to FUJI, TDK, Maxell,
then they too started to have problems, then all I looked for was
MADE IN JAPAN!

Just buy all Taiyo Yuden and be done with it.
