Newbie question please help =)

Hello I am new to this copy thing and i have some question please help =)

1. Whats the best way to copy game? I know primoDVD does a copy to the HD and then copy to DVD-R but if I want to do a direct copy (DVD to DVD-R) what software should I use? and what is a good source dvd reader drive?

2. Me and my friend try to make a copy useing his dvd to dvd-r with a copy game and it don't work, but when he use original game to make the copy then it work, anyone know where it go wrong?

3. I have a pioner a05 and i use promoDVD to copy it to hd and then make a copy but I can't seem to get it to go over 1X ,and also when I copy it freez up some time and after a long time (1min or so then it free up again) anyone know whats wrong with it?

Many thx in advance

1. I wouldnt use anything other than Primo or RecordNow Max to burn your dvd based games. They are the best.

2. Somebody else reported a problem doing this as well. Not sure why it doesn't work.

3. What media do you use? Some cheap 2x media will only burn at 1x. Not sure why it freezed up like that but RecordNow Max and RecordNow DX do the same thing but burn successfully.

Update: Are you sure you have an A05 and use PrimoDvd? BG reported that these two aren't compatible.

Nope.... Wasn't doing disc to disc....(Although I CAN) Primo does not recognize the A05......(At least on mine and MANY others)..... Use RecordNow Max......
As far as the freezing up and not going over 1X..... You have to have 2X or 4X media to burn faster.... If the media is rated at 1X then usually thats as fast as it will burn...
What media are you using..?

He said he uses legacy. Whatever the hell that is.
