Burn a burned DVD on the fly? Still with menues etc?

[KevinD]

Hej!

I wonder if you have a burned DVD, which you have created with DVDshrink and later you want another copy of the disc, but you dont have the original.
Do I have to load the copy into DVDshrink and then encode it or can I just use fx. Nero copy DVD on the fly and still get the menues etc?
I know that it wont work with af original DVD, but will it work with a copy?

Thanks.

I've done it and it turned out fine,however I don't recommend burning OTF. It's too easy to make a coaster ;)

as long as the dvd is decrypted already with something like dvdshrink it is no problem.

I burn on the fly at 4x all the time and it works fine.

But then again, I have a 3200+ Athlon with 1024 of Ram.

On a slower computer you might be bouncing off the buffer alot, but most burners are burn proof, so it shouldn't cause coasters.

I have a P4 2,4Ghz 512mb PC2700 ram. Is that enough?

Another question is that I have a MSI DR-4A DVD-burner but it will only allow me to burn with the max speed 2,4. I have updated firmware to the newest version and I have tried with several differents media (DVD+R) types, but still it will only allow me to burn with 2,4x.

Does anyone know whats wrong?

Are you sure DMA is enabled ?

To be sure, make first an image on your Hard Drive and burn the image on your DVD. Your 2,4 is media problem I think. I had the same with 4x Ritek. My burner wanted to burn them only in 2,4. But the problem doesn't occur with Philips media.

What is that?

I have tried to burn on Prodeye 4x og Professional 4x from Nierle.de.

I have just tried to burn on the fly but it crashed, so to be sure I make an image first. Its a bit too expensive if every second media crashes.

In looking at your Device Mananger (hardware) in Windows, expand your IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers section. Right click on the Secondary IDE Channel; click 'Properties', then the 'Advanced' tab. You'll what mode your devices are listed in. PIO is slow and more of a failsafe mode for newer machines. If you can, put 'DMA if available'. Then reboot. If your devices were really in PIO, you'll notice one hell of a difference! Check the same for your Primary channel.

Sorry about to say you but Bad quality. Try on something well known like Philips or Verbatim.
