Hi everyone, can someone help me?

I need to copy NBA Live 2k3(dvd) to a DVD-R. I tried to follow the instructions here in this forum but it didn't help. I'm using recordNow Max, with a Toshiba SD-R5002. I made the reading at Max speed and the writing at 1x. I'm using Princo dvd-r. I tried this dvd backup on two consoles: one with the Messiah and another one with the NEO 2.2. I tried to boot the disk in various ways, but it won't load!

Help, plaese

Probably. And you havn't tried Traxdata Freakzilla because they are only available in the UK.

If I didn't read it wrong, you said you read the Disc at max speed. I think you should read your disc at "Min" speed. I usually read at min speed and burn at max speed.

Just a idea for you:)

why read so slow? if you have a clean disc, and a decent comp, 16x dvdrom should work fine

You should always start reading at min speed. Some drives can do a good job at max speed but some can't. I can make good copies at min and med speed but they don't always turn out at max. I always read and burn as slow as possible just to be sure. So my advice is to try min speed and work your way up.

I'll try to read and write it at min speed. I'll also use a Traxdata, just to be sure.
