Guys/gals-
I am converting all my home movies currently on miniDV cassettes into actual DVD discs for home theatre playback. I have run into a problem. It takes a good amount of processing time to convert the digital media into actual DVD format and burn the dvd. It works great and the discs seem to have no compatability problems playing in several different brand DVD home TV players.
However, I have a problem if I want to make a duplicate copy of the new DVD later(ie: after the DVD creator program has been closed or on another day after someone requests a copy). When I try to do this with my DVD software(sonic), it starts going through the whole media conversion process again instead of just copying from my DVD drive to the DVD-Rw drive. It won't burn from DVD to DVD-Rw without trying to reformat the media.
Can one of you recommend a simple copy program (preferably freeware) that I could download to allow a simple exact replica copy from DVD to DVD drive? I assume that is all I need. Thanks
