ok, My dvd burner is screwy If I try and burn a movie to it it just fails. DVD +R just fails outright and DVD +RW burns and then gets heaps of errors on verification, then won't play.

what I want to do is

1. copy a dvd
2. have that dvd play in a stand alone player that sits in the lounge.

ideally I want to burn tv shows to it, but to try and figure out why this isn't working, I've been using my dvd library (or rather my dads) and trying to copy the dvd using dvd shrink and burn the replica using nero.

Can anybody help?

I don't know but here is another issue I had.

I tried burning a DVD ISO in bin cue format. The file was ~3GB and when I would use nero to burn it it kept saying "Can't burn to a DVD+R. Needs a CD-R/RW." Umm.. it WOULD NOT burn to a DVD. Finally I used IsoBuster to convert the bin/cue to an ISO and it burned in nero.

weird.

You need to select DVD project instead of CD project at the first step of the wizard

you didn't just have the cd tab selected at the start of nero smart start or whatever did you? thats probably not it, but it screwed me once or twice. I'm a burning noob though. Nero is less than helpful with its failures too.

"unspecified target error" for my dvd +R discs. every time as well.

which is the good one for video

+R
-R
+RW (I've heard you should only use these for data)

I find -R to be more compatable with DVD players in living rooms.

But it sounds to me like you're trying to copy a movie you already own that's DVD9 to a DVD5 blank disk.

If that's the case, you'll have to convert the video footage from DVD9 to DVD5 to your HDD, then copy whatever format you saved it in, whether it be iso or data, then burn it to a blank appropriately.
