"my cd writer prog wont make an exact copy"

That makes no sense, unless:

A) Your burner is faulty

or

B) You're trying to duplicate an 80 minute CD with a 74 minute CD-R

It sounds like you have the same prob that I am having, which is (and correct me if I'm wrong):

I burnt an mpeg to an 80min cd using VCDEasy and then deleted the original mpeg file from my hard drive. Later I wanted to make a copy of the cd but when I tried to do a disk copy using Easy CD Creator it would not copy. VCDEasy has a ripping option but I'm not to sure how to go about using it as there is no help file. Can ne1 help me out with this prob?
