Using a DVD-R writer can i just do a DVD to DVD copy/clone and it work? or is there more to it?

I am going to be purchasing a DVD writer within the week. Which is a good one to get for between $200-$300?

Thanks in advance

I would go for a Messiah 2 in my opinon. As it's a whole lot better and stable than the Magic chips. Any one disagree on this. lol..

Regards to copying DVD games, use either PrimoDVD, RecordNow Max or Nero for straight 1:1 copies. Just create an image of the game and burn it back to DVD-R, no need for patches to remove copyprotection etc.. Details on how to do this are on this forum in one of the Stickys.


I currently own a Pioneer A04 which is great for backing up PS2 games. The A05 is out now which is also very good. However, it does not work with PrimoDVD but you can use RecordNow Max or Nero instead. Also, the Sony DRU -500a is also a good burner which you could go for. I'm not sure of the prices of these writers in the US as i live in the UK.
