Newbie: How to copy a dvd that I made?

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Rich:
Copy the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to an empty folder on your hard
drive, then open your DVD burning software and show it where the VIDEO_TS
folder is. IF your software will burn from DVD folders you should be set to
go.
If you need some software to try out (that works) download Nero Burning ROM,
also just called Nero. If your DVD burner is recognized by Nero (most will)
just drag the contents of the VIDEO_TS folder to Nero's VIDEO_TS folder and
burn.

I usually just use DVD Decrypter to rip the files back to the hard drive. You
might not need to do this with unencrypted DVD, but I still find DVD Decrypter
the easiest way to do this. And it is free.

Sometimes the easiest solution eludes us because it just
seems too simple. All modern burning software (Roxio or Nero)
includes a "copy disk" function. Set the source drive and the
destination drive both to designate your DVD burner and insert
your original DVD. After the software scans-in your original,
it will pop open the drive and prompt you to insert a blank,
burning an exact copy.

Nero. DVD-Copy [second choice on the DVD menu]. Or most any other burner
software that supports your burner. Your home-made dvd isn't copy protected, so
it's just a normal dvd copy operation.

Thanks for all the help! This was the simplest and easiest to do as I
could burn it using DVD architect that came with my vegas 4.

Thanks again!!
