CD/DVD copying

churchill67 · 11-26-2005, 03:52 AM

Hey, When making copies of DVD's, is it best to use the original disk to make the duplicates each time? So creating the image off the original and then copying? Or is it OK to use a backup disk to create the image to then create another copy... I'm using Nero Express 6 and have done a disk scan, the original disk contains a few damaged sectors, but on the copied disk there are no damaged sectors. This is where I wonder, should I use the original with a few damaged sectors which don't cause any real problems, or should I use the completely error free copied disk.
Sorry for my lack of experience!

welcome to tsf
well for starters you are allowed to make one backup
you cant reproduce multiple copies to distribute

there are copywrite issues

in answer to your question - what ever works.
