    DVD Copy


    Hi all,

    I'd like to make a DVD of a data DVD,
    not a video or movie but a copy of my Driver DVD,
    the only programs I have are ones that wont let you
    make a data DVD, only movies and alike.

    I would lake to have a good program that's easy to use
    but no more then $40 - $50, any help would be nice.

    TIA, Me

    Imgburn is a (free) good popular all rounder (inc dual layer data DVDs)
    The Official ImgBurn Website
    data, music, video....
    I've used it to make backups of dual layer software installation disks.

    You can actually use a lot of burning programs if you go the "detour" via creating an ISO image first.
    like with Magic Disk

    Mount ISO Files - Freeware MagicDisc Download
    But my first choice would also be ImgBurn that mjf mentioned.

    yeah I know..they are not known to have the most organized webpage
    I always do a 2 pronged approach.
    First Option 3 to create an ISO image (which also is a great way to have a backup copy of your DVD on your hard drive).
    and then Option 1 to write the image to any DVD of your choosing.
    If you want you could then pick option 5 to verify that the write operation went OK (normally I just just skip that as long as I don't get any error message during the burn.

    You're very welcome!
    In fact the whole thing is easier done than written down
    I'm glad it worked for you
