Hi

I have the Alpine Smart Nav 2006 disc running in an NVE-099 sat nav unit.

I want to make a copy of this disc and use the copy instead of the original.

I ran anydvd and then copied the ISO to my hard drive using DVD Decrypter and then made a copy onto a Verbatim DL DVD-R disc, but the copy would not run on my sat nav unit, I then tried using Nero and Alcohol 120% but both times the copied disc would not run.

I know my sat nav unit plays copied disc as my old 2003 disc was a copy that I had made (using the same method above).

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas I could try

Edited to add: I have also tried using Verbatim DL DVD+R discs with the book type set to DVD-ROM.

It's probably not a format that you can copy with a PC.

Well I have seen a copy disc for sale on Ebay and when i spoke to the guy we was prepared to come and see me and show me it working on my navi unit, so it must be possible.

I have never come across a navi disc which could not be copied before, I have always made back ups of everyone I have ever had

Try burning at a lower speed or on a different burner...

I have burned at the slowest speed possible.

Which burners would people recommend?

This writer does not seem have a problem burning copies of Pioneer sat nav discs so I dont think the writer is the issue.
