You cannot copy a DVD like it is a data disk. Assuming it is not copy
protected (virtually all DVD "movies" are), then you MUST use the DVD movie
copying function of a DVD burning program. I use Nero, and there are several
options from which to select when burning files to a DVD burner. One of them
is "DVD Movie." Your CD/DVD burner software should have a similar option.
Your must use it, because a stand-alone DVD player expects all the relevant
files to be in a specific PHYSICAL location on the disk. And only the "DVD
Movie" option will place the files where they must be. (A computer does not
care about the physical location.)


Pls Help - cannot get copy of DVD to work on DVD player

I have an Intel HT PC with Windows XP. It has a CD/DVD Reader and
writer. It is fairly new.

I was trying to make a copy a DVD.

After copying the DVD will not work on a DVD player.
It says "cannot play"

However the copied DVD will work on the same PC as well as on another
PC.
Why is that ?

I have used both an erasable DVD as well as a Non erasable DVD. Both do
not work on DVD players.

Can anyone pls help ?

I am not Technical so pls explain in more detail for folks like me.
Thanks'
Ava
