Software for copying dvd's

Try another media...even though you've already tried 2.
Borrow an empty DVD of another brand.

Patio,While i referred to 2 different brands and types for this latest effort in fact throughout this process i have used at least 5 different brands--including 2 different brands of DVD-RW's. My wastebasket is getting full of coasters. Also like you i am getting "steamed' and may just take my own advice. thanks,truenorth
