Having some dvd-r problems....could use some help...

[Gamespot03]

So here is the issue.....

For some reason I am having problems recording from the harddrive to the dvd burner.....I went ahead and put a bunch of games onto my cpu and when I go to burn from the image I always get error messages......no matter what speed I burn at...

Now I have:

emachines...766mhz w/ 512megs ram
Windows ME
16x dvd rom
pioneer 104 (which I thought was bad so they sent me out a brand new one)

I have the Messiah modchip no-swap.....not a clone.....

I am using:

Apple media and also
Princo

For the most part this is what I have been doing:
I use prassi primo dvd
I am following charlies dvd instructions to the tee......

I have tried burning at 1x, 2x, max.....
I have tried apple, princo 1 and 2x discs.....
I have tried to create the global image at max, medium, and minimum speeds......

I cannot do a disc-to-disc copy of a previous burned game.....

I CAN do a disc-to-disc copy from an original game
I CAN do a global image on the cpu and burn from the on some games.......


What is my problem here?....Any help would be greatly appreciated.....this is really killing me here....

Now is it because of the newer games and the copyright that is not allowing me to burn a copy?......
Do I need to relace/patch that copyright before I can burn the game?
