[satd153]

no matter what brand of dvd-r i use i cant get my apex to read the backup made with dvdxcopy. they all play in other home units and even in a ps2 but not in my apex as well as 2 others i know of

Not all dvd players support dvd-r. You can check your dvd player compatability here (http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdplayers)

had a similar problem with my Toshiba4800. Here is what worked for me:

1:setup your "Workspace Folder" to a directory you chose
2:setup what you want with DVDXCopy
3:when it is done ripping the first disk, go to the temp folder specified in step 1
4:change the name of the folder it is using as a temp folder from "DVDXCOPY" to a name of your choice
5:cancel the burn in DVDXCOPY and close
6:using Nero or RecordMaxNow, burn a data DVD with the files from your renamed folder

Worked well for me, hope you find a solution.

so what happens when its time to burn disk 2 of the movie?? if i cancel the burn like you said will it automatically start making disk 2 ?

thanks

[bighap]

Nope.

[satd153]

could you please tell me how to burn the second part ? thanks

Under advanced options choose skip 1st disc or advance to 2nd disc or something to that matter. Did you get your Verbatim dvd-r yet?

[satd153]

using ritek for now heard sams club as verbs for 2 bucks a piece is that a good price ?

[bighap]

For Verbatim thats a very good price. Riteks work great too. That's what I am currently using.

one more dumb question if you dont mind ? ripped both disk now how do i burn with nero or record now max. sorry new to the dvd thing. thanks again :-)

When the Nero wizzard pops up choose dvd, compile a new dvd, other dvd formats, dvd video(I think), then drag the files into their coresponding folders. If that doesnt work try data dvd.
