Yep the guy's are right...
I have a tendency to think that you reader and writer are 'region locked' like most manufactured drives after 2000.
All drives are hardware locked into the specific region of manufacture (2 for euro, 1 for america,4 for aus etc:- )
Old shep was right when he said use dvd-decrypter to remove the copy protection,but also if the disc is not for you drive's specific region ie;- trying to do a region 1 disc(american) on a european drive.
The program (de-crypter) will say that your drive logical region is mis-matched...so the slower 'brute force method will be used' but i have a vast collection of region 1 discs and have not had any probs using this program.
Then you will have to use dvd2one,or dvd shrink to compress the files to make then fit on a single disc.(see the dvd ripping tutorials at the top of the page)
Just a little tip ...nero although some peeps seem to have no probs burning the image with it ..i have found that it can be somewhat unreliable...stick with recordmax now.
