DVD copy

Hello,

Thank you for replying back with the status of this issue.

I would suggest you to copy the movie files from your DVD on your computer hard disk by opening the drive in the computer. You may follow the steps below -

• Insert the DVD in the CD\DVD drive.
• Open computer, click on DVD drive, and Select the files you want to copy. To select all files, press Ctrl and A keys together, to select files randomly press Ctrl and left mouse click on the file.
  
• Right click on the selected files, click on copy.
• Select the location where you want to save those files, right click and paste it.
  

Then you may insert the blank DVD and burn the disk using the Windows DVD Maker. You may refer to the below link for assistance in burning the DVD and other details -

Hope this helps. Let us know the results.

You skipped my suggestion. You only need to tell your burning software to make a copy of the DVD. You don't need (and shouldn't) copy the contents of the DVD to your hard drive. My wife makes photo DVDs and home movies for all our family events, and we burn copies to give everyone. It's a very simple step and copies the entire disc, including the index, formatting, etc.
