DVD-R / IMAGE FILE reliability; something to consider...

Yes you can then use Primo DVD or DVD Dcrypter to do one to one copies of your newly creadted disc.

Thanks for the info......I'm trying the image method right now and will try the disk tonight in a 'problem' player.

Update : done a disk last night using the imgtools to build an image and dvd-decrypter to burn it (I normally use Nero to burn directly from the VIDEO_TS files) and the resulting disk worked on a player which had before now refused to play any DVD-R disks !!!! A resounding success for this method and I'll be using it to burn ALL my disk from now on. Anyone having player compatability problems should try an image burn.

a few pointers if you're using nero 

Re: a few pointers if you're using nero 

Yep I understand the theory, I've double and triple checked all the options in Nero but I just can't get it to burn a dvdr that'll work in my Samsung 709. My pioneer yes no problems. I do agree with you though :) There's no reason why it shouldn't work.
