DVD copy help
« on: 02 August 2007, 16:08:57 »
Just to be clear NOT movie DVDs....

I need some help on copying a Data DVD,  I am trying to create some up to date POI entries on my built in Sat Nav (not Vaux).  I know that the Map Discs can be copied, because I have the original and a backup of it that came with the car.  

What I can't do is sucessfully make another backup of it?  It is a DL DVD+R which is what I am writing to, but so far any method of copying I have tried has resulted in a very expensive useless DL DVD+R.

Having trawled the net for ages, I can't seem to find a utility that will either tell me extactly the format of a disc so I can recreate it, or let me do a copy of the data and all the subcodes.  All I seem to find are utilities to let me pirate movies, which is not what I want.

Anyone know of any utils out there?

Cheers
Merv

For Backup Just make an ISO image of the disk to your Harddrive and then you can burn an image to disc if required

AVS Disc Creator is a good Free program for DVD data disks and CD's

I use Alcohol 120%. It is an ISO application which takes a 'snapshot' of the disk and creates a virtual DVD player which then reads the disk as if it were a physical disk.

I have had no problems with it at all.

Hope this helps.  :) :)

I use nero, and just click copy disk, it wirtes an iso then copies it to a new disk, if its DL, you will need a dual layer writer to do it.  :y

It is a DL writer, and I am writing to DL discs.

Tried so far.. Nero, Blindwrite, Clonedvd, manual drag and drop of file structure . . loads of pricey coasters!

Did the writer come with any bundled software? May be worth having a look at their website if you haven't already tried that.  :y

Does UltraIso make a good iso copy? Then make mods, then reburn the iso (most s/w can burn iso)

Haven't tried that one.. I will have a go.  What I am really after though is a util that can analyse the original so I can work out what is going wrong.  DL media is still not cheap enough to keep wasting them  >:(

I have, but most of the software decides on the best speed for me,  which on a new drive it determines to be quite high!

Try using IMGBURN to burn the ISO
