Can you copy and burn dvd-r to dvd+r?

Hi


Can you copy and burn dvd-r to dvd+r?
Hi

I am using nero essentials nero 7.10 , and i have some DVD-R'S , can you copy them and burn them to DVD+R?

I thought i had before , maybe not, but tonight i got an error message, not compatible change settings, if so how do you do that?

The first window did say to put a DVD-R in after i tried again.

Lite on burner, LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1H ATA , it burns them dvd-r to dvd-r ok,or dvd+r to same


These dvd-r's came from a stand alone dvd recorder from my tv set up not on the pc.
VISTA HOME PREMIUM 2 GIG RAM, AMD 64 ATHLON X2 4600 2- 160 HDS, 1-250 EXT HD.

i HAVE EMC 10 to install and understand there is a conversion method on that?
thanks

It should work. Your chances of success are probably better if you rip the DVD to your hard drive first and then burn it to the new disc. Disc to disc copying does not always work as advertised...

Thanks
Is "burn" and "rip" the same to your hard drive?

I tried that before i posted, and i got a non compatible"something error message" so i just canceled it.

On Emc 10 which i have not installed yet, they said i could drag the file in a "vts" to desktop then convert it, I tried it and it started to do it but it showed and hour and 56 minutes so i stopped it.

The only reason of course is i have a couple spindles of DVD+R to use, if nothing else i'll just have to buy the DVD-R.

THANKS

You rip (transfer) files from an optical disc to a hard drive and you burn (transfer) files to a CD or DVD.

I'm not familiar with EMC but conversions do take some time if you're working on a full DVD. One thing, if you convert the file and want to make more copies later, the files would still be on your hard drive (as long as you don't erase them) to burn from again...

Thanks

That is what i do, i think, i frst copy it with Nero, and when that is done, i have to put the blank DVD in, and select burn, when it's done i can save it, or is there another burn to process i am missing "to hard drive":o
thanks
nero 7.10 it does not have the digital plugins, i bouight them but they would never install, got refunded 28.00

will img burn program do this, or same issue?
can you suggest other burning program? for the lite on burner i have with vista home premium?

No there are programs that will copy the video off the dvd and save it to your hdd.
Nero might do that, just never tried it.

Once it is saved to the hdd, then start from scratch and then burn the file to a new dvd.

than ks

I opened up my computer, DVD with DVD in / explore, then burn/ and it says no files on disc. There is a selection there to burn in the drop down but it doesn't work , this Dvd has a baseball game from tv on it.

Is this not the way to burn? I did not even know it was there?

Checking help in Windows i can't see anything there in Windows dvd maker either about burning to disc?

So you are saying just burn it and save it, do not complete the burn when it says insert disc? just save it? That will change the type of disc you can use then?

Then i suggest reading at http://www.videohelp.com/dvdbackup

thanks
i see your link
i just tried in nero to copy the dvd and save, but you have to complete it at the time, or it aborts,

it may be being this nero program i have is not the full version, it will not burn to hard drive only?
best thing i guess is to uninstalll and load EMC 10 in .

i'll read your link how ever
thanks

Man i'll be there for awhile! I think i am missing a component."ripper"
thanks

Lots to learn about that business I agree.

WELL I GUESS I WAS WRONG, I had a bunch of DVDS and they apparently were -R and I used them up .

I got on chat with lite on techs and one finally told me, -to - , +to+ none other, I asked them about conversion but was not aware, however like one of you said "rip it to the drive" then no problem.

I do think Roxio has a tool om EMC 10 that works, so I guess Ihave to find these items.

Does any one have a preference on a ripping program to copy "burn" to hard drive

Have you any experience with Dazzle from Pinnacle?

thanks

this article i stumbled on, shows how "nero image works" which i did not undersdtand, it still will not allow a dvd-r go to a dvd+r, this same thing happened, .
thanks
:o

I don't use Nero7 or up. I use Nero6.6.1.4 which you may get here .

The feature you use to rip is Recode. After it's ripped to your HDD in a folder you choose. You can then use Nero vision expresses "make DVD=DVD video". After it opens,add the files you ripped using the "add video files" feature in the right side box. After it's pulled the video in,you can click on "create chapters" to add those if you like. When it asks if you want to create a menu,you can choose not to with the drop down menu at upper right of that window. Just follow it thru' and choose a folder to save the burn in.

When this is done you can again use Nero recode to burn the saved files to a DVD+R disk...

Thanks
I use Express in essentials but i just changed the image and burner selections back and forth then it didn't accept the 2 different disc. Recode i haven't used , maybe i can try that in 7.10 , it is not the full version so it might not work, the digital plugins would not install. Let you know later.
thanks
I did find out from Roxio that you can drage the VTS_ file to desk top then do a conversion, but i have to uninstall nero first to do that/

I just got an email from Roxio, to long to post here, has to do with this, if it's necessary i could provide it somehow.

Your choice,,and no,the Nero essentials do 'not' have all that is needed.
If you intend to uninstall Nero,I'd suggest you use their clean tool ...

If you can see these, not sure if i have them sized right , it is the recode folder in 7.10 that i have , not that these photos mean anything as to working but if which one to try if it will work, ir looks like the first one on the menu ,nero recode 2,do any of these do what i am trying to do?
thanks

Ridgerunr in Orygun, and others,

Hey, i did it, i used recode and then i'm lost, i tried to or 3 different ways, but i think it was the way i had it filed, anyway after a couple error messages i just kept going , it had to do with compilation, but it burnt from DVD-R TO DVD +R

Miracles happen, i guess the last 2 days i've had patience to waste/
thanks much

tell me more:)

Recode, compile is what you want if I remember right.

OK Thanks,
One of the issues is to save it to the drive in the right place. I put it in a folder i definitely remembered , but when i finally found it under the selection process "different" than i was used to, when it was placed in the burn area, and i started the burn , an error message that these items are already there, do you want to over write them? Are the recode and compile as you say to use, then how do you get this vts_ to a file or desktop where there are no other items.

There may be some other VTS_ on the drive that i did before but not for this dvd-r dvd+r process, i need tyo get something named right to keep the error messages away. :confused::o
thanks

clear as mudd?:)

When you use recode in Nero essentials 7.10, it always comes up with VIDEO_TS, do you just make a folder every time you use recode for each new DVD you burn? I can do it under windows explorer but in the recode interface i haven't mastered that yet?

Then after you have burned the DVD to your drive, do you always use recode to burn again, or can you use make a DVD data file?

If it makes a difference?

I did one all the way in recode today and it worked great, just wondering?
thanks
:o

Your choice really.

When i use recode to "import the dvd to burn" for final, if i go back to do it again later , recode says there are no files. If i open up the folder under explorer they are there. Something i don't understand or can't work out , even if you name them all as you go, it works the same, there is a lock feature but it does not apppear to work?

:confused:

See if this video helps.
