I’m using the copy of Nero StartSmart that came with my Gateway laptop, along with a CD-DVD burner drive.
I’ve been able to rip and burn music CDs and DVD movies successfully with the Nero as long as they were not copy protected. I am not trying to defeat copy protection.
I was trying to copy a particular DVD movie the other night and it was a bit too large for the DVD-R blank disc I am using – Nero told me after the rip process.
There are DVD+R dual layer discs which are almost double capacity. But when I contacted SONY about using these on my living room DVD player, they told me to use DVD-R dual layer media.
I’ve not seen any of the DVD-R dual layer discs for sale anywhere.
So here are my questions:
How do I burn a DVD movie onto my hard drive for listening/watching, and for later burning onto DVD media? Does Nero support this? I cannot figure out how to do it.
Has anyone used DVD+R dual layer on a home DVD player (mine is a Sony DVP-NS325)?
Is there a way to edit a movie saved to your hard drive so you can delete or edit some of the extra features you may not want? I thought this would reduce the size of the data and allow me to burn on a DVD-R disc.
Any thoughts on my questions?
Thanks . . .
